Magento 2 : How to Insert Category Name as Meta-Description of Each Category From Admin

Question

From admin, I'm trying to insert category name as a variable in metatags (something like {category name} in meta description).

I go to admin: Products -> Categories. From the details of Category, In Search Engine Optimization dropdown., I am adding Meta Description which includes category name like in curly brackets {category name}. But, Im not able to do..

Not sure Im doing it right, Is there any way or certain variable for Category name, which we can insert like this.

Answer 1

You can do this things with custom extension.

1. app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\events.xml

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
      <event name="catalog_category_save_after">
         <observer name="catalog_metadescription" instance="Vendor\Extension\Observer\Categorysaveafter" />
      </event>
   </config>
   

2. Create another file at this location.

   app\code\Vendor\Extension\Observer\Categorysaveafter.php
   
   <?php
   namespace Vendor\Extension\Observer;
   
   use Magento\Catalog\Model\Category;
   use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
   
   class Categorysaveafter implements ObserverInterface
   {
      public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
      {
          //THIS CALLED WHEN YOU SAVE ANY CATEGORY
          // DO YOUR CODE TO GET CATEGORY NAME AND SET IN META
      }
   }
