Manage HTML metadata in Vue.js components with SSR support
onRemoved guarduses a MutationObserver, might need a polyfill but afaik any browser supporting Proxy also supports MutationObserver
The first alpha release for vue-meta v3 supporting Vue 3, basic functionality should work but needs lots more testing. Don't use this in production. Help with squashing bugs would be appreciated.
See ./examples/vue-router for a working example
import { watch } from 'vue'
import { useMeta, useMetainfo } from 'vue-meta'
export default {
setup () {
// add meta info. The object passed into useMeta is configurable
const { meta } = useMeta({
title: 'My Title'
})
// get the currently used metainfo
const metadata = useMetainfo()
watch(metadata, (newValue) => {
// metadata was updated, do something
})
}
}
See ./examples/ssr for a working example
import { createSSRApp } from 'vue'
import { renderToStringWithMeta } from 'vue-meta'
import { App, metaManager } from './App'
export function renderPage() {
const app = createSSRApp(App)
app.use(metaManager)
const [appHtml, ctx] = await renderToStringWithMeta(app)
return `
<html ${ctx.teleports.htmlAttrs || ''}>
<head ${ctx.teleports.headAttrs || ''}>
${ctx.teleports.head || ''}
</head>
<body ${ctx.teleports.bodyAttrs || ''}>
<div id="app">${appHtml}</div>
${ctx.teleports.body || ''}
</body>
</html>`
needs more attention + real world testing
In vue-meta v2 there was limited control on which metadata to show if you had multiple components returning the same information.
In v3 we introduce meta resolvers, these are functions that should give you full control on which data to show when multiple options exist.
See eg ./src/resolvers/deepest and ./examples/vue-router/main. The deepest resolver uses the data of the component with the highest depth (from the $root component). The resolver in the vue-router example just returns the data of the newest component (highest _uid).
Adding this component is currently required, but it will eventually be optional
Add a Metainfo component in your app to extend the used metadata using slots.
<div class="my-layout">
<metainfo>
<!-- // content contains the value active value for base from `useMetainfo` -->
<template v-slot:base="{ content, metainfo }">http://nuxt.dev:3000{{ content }}</template>
<template v-slot:title="{ content, metainfo }">
{{ content }} - {{ metainfo.description }} - Add the description to the title
</template>
</metainfo>
</div>
Uncaught ReferenceError: body is not defined is logged in the browser
Solution: Add a body slot to your metainfo component with an empty tag: <metainfo><template v-slot:body><span/></template></metainfo>
