Create custom field to input canonical url in a page

Question

What is the best way of creating a custom field for each page whereby the user can input a URL into a field, which then gets input into a rel=canonical element like the example below.

I already have an SEO tab like in the image below, however I am unsure of how to create a custom field inside this tab.

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great, as I am very new to the CMS.

First, I would recommend looking at the SEOmatic plugin - it does all of this for you, and a whole lot more.

If you want to go it on your own, though, I would just use {{ craft.request.url }} rather than adding your own field. Craft already knows what the URL is.
