Laravel 8.0 Canonical URL meta tag

This doesn't help. When I land at https://mysite.com the canonical link should be https://www.mysite.com

With your code - I get https://mysite.com

I looked at some packages but none seems to be updated beyond Laravel 5.5

@if (Str::startsWith($current = url()->current(), 'https://www'))
    <link rel="canonical" href="{{ str_replace('https://www.', 'https://', $current) }}">
@else
    <link rel="canonical" href="{{ str_replace('https://', 'https://www.', $current) }}">
@endif

or you can create a helper for that

if (! function_exists('canonical_url')) {
    function canonical_url()
    {
        if (\Illuminate\Support\Str::startsWith($current = url()->current(), 'https://www')) {
            return str_replace('https://www.', 'https://', $current);
        }

        return str_replace('https://', 'https://www.', $current)
    }
}

<link rel="canonical" href="{{ canonical_url() }}">

This is almost there. A minor correction - www needs to be www. else url becomes wwwmysite.com instead of www.mysite.com. Otherwise the code works. I didn't need to create a helper function.

@singh Yeah you are right, I usually don't test a code.

So mark this thread as solved. Thanks.

@MichalOravec what about URL with parameter? example

domain/agent?page=1 canonicalize as domain/agent

domain/agent?page=2 also canonicalize as domain/agent

@cocotmu In that case you can use something like this:

@if ($articles->currentPage() === 1)
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ url()->current() }}" />
@else
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ url()->current() }}?page={{ $articles->currentPage() }}" />
@endif
