Seo blade tag to set social image? about laravel-seo

[stancl]

Seems like @seo() uses seo()->set(), and Flipp needs to be used via seo()->flipp(). It then calls set() for 'image':

laravel-seo/src/SEOManager.php

Line 180 in 754b393

return $this->set('image', "https://s.useflipp.com/{$template}.png?s={$signature}&v={$query}");

Sure, but flipp() requires 2 parameters, how to do that with the @seo array parameter?

[stancl]

Ah hmm, seems like @seo uses flipp() correctly, it doesn't call set():

laravel-seo/src/SEOServiceProvider.php

Lines 34 to 40 in 754b393

	BladeHelper::directive('seo', function (...$args) {
	// Flipp supports more arguments
	if ($args[0] === 'flipp') {
	array_shift($args);
	return seo()->flipp(...$args);
	}

I think the right syntax is @seo('flipp', [ array data ]). When you pass an array to @seo, there's no first argument indicating that this is a flipp() call, so it goes straight to set().

But @seo('flipp', [ array data ]) will output the image URL. I just want to define the social image on one view which is then used by the meta tags in the laout, exactly like @seo(['title' => 'Test123']).

To make it more clear. Here's an example:

@seo([
  'title' => 'Hello World',
  /* not possible */ 'flipp' => ['blog', ['headline' => 'Lorem Ipsum', 'teaser' => 'Lorem Ipsum, Lorem Ipsum']] 
])
<x-layout>Some content</x-layout>

The @seo tag seems to only support strings for values, but the flipp and previewify functions need more parameters.

Ahh I see. Yeah hmm so:

• array syntax (@seo([...])) is used for setting values rather than outputting stuff
• arrays get passed to set()

So the blade directive should probably check if a passed array has a flipp key, and then call the flipp() method and exclude it from the data passed to set()?

[tpetry]

That's a possible approach, but the same for previewify.

[stancl]

Perhaps your PR could check for the presence of flipp and previewify in this array ($args[0]) too?

laravel-seo/src/SEOServiceProvider.php

Lines 47 to 52 in d12038f

	// An array means we don't return anything, e.g. `@seo(['title' => 'foo'])
	if (is_array($args[0])) {
	seo($args[0]);
	return null;
	}
