Automatically get page meta from language files with Laravel

Use this in your blade layout:

<title>{{ trans('pages.'.Route::currentRouteName().'.title').trans('pages.title-suffix') }}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{{ trans('pages.'.Route::currentRouteName().'.description') }}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{{ trans('pages.obligatory-keywords').trans('pages.'.Route::currentRouteName().'.keywords') }}" />

An example for lang//pages.php:

<?php

return array(
	'title-suffix' => ' | The Website',
	'obligatory-keywords' => 'these,are,obligatory,keywords,',
	'home' => array(
		'title' => 'Home',
		'keywords' => 'home',
		'description' => 'This is an example website.',
	),
);

This is nice! Is it possible to use this when parts of the title are dynamic?

Sure, why not!
<title>{{ $somethingDynamic.trans('pages.title-suffix') }}</title>
or, when using multiple template files:

@if(isset($somethingDynamic) && !empty($somethingDynamic))
    <title>{{ $somethingDynamic.trans('pages.title-suffix') }}</title>
@else
    <title>{{ trans('pages.'.Route::currentRouteName().'.title').trans('pages.title-suffix') }}</title>
@endif
