Title in View or in Controller [SOLVED] - InstantT - 06-25-2022
Hello all,
I wonder what is the best way to display the Title tag.
Is it better to display it in the View or in the Controller?
Controller Example
PHP Code:
$data = [
'meta_title' => "Blog Post ".$post_name,
];
return view('my-view', $data);
PHP Code:
<?php if(isset($meta_title) && !empty($meta_title)): ?>
<?= '<title>'.esc($meta_title).'</title>'; ?>
<?php endif; ?>But I wonder if it's better to fill in the Title tags in the Views with renderSection
PHP Code:
<title><?= $this->renderSection('title') ?></title>
PHP Code:
<?= $this->section('title') ?> Blog Post <?= esc($post_name); ?> <?= $this->endSection() ?>What is the best option?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

It depends on the title, is it ever going to change?
if not then hard code it into the view.
else save in database and assin it to $data array and pass it to the view.

@InsiteFX is right. It depends but I would go with the first option but not typing this way
PHP Code:
<?php if(isset($meta_title) && !empty($meta_title)): ?>
<?= '<title>'.esc($meta_title).'</title>'; ?>
<?php endif; ?>but shortly this way
PHP Code:
<title><?php echo $title ?? 'No title' ; ?></title>

Don't forget `esc()`.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply ?
So I will continue to use the Controller method to manage Meta tags
