Now you can format Flyyer CDN URLs like shown below.

require_once 'vendor/flyyer/flyyer/src/Flyyer.php';

$flyyer = new Flyyer(
  # Your project identifier
  'your-project-identifier',
  # The current pathname of your website, try to set it dynamically
  '/path/to/product',
);

Take a look into the Wordpress integration guide to see a full example for your specific setup. You're invited to contribute to the PHP documentation and add your own guide for other technologies.

note

The meta-tags code needs to be static, processed at build time or server-side rendered for link previews to work.

3. Voilà 🎉

Now you're able to manage your link previews from your dashboard, create content from templates while preserving your brand style and export it as social media formats.
