sherby-metadata is a LitElement used to manage meta tags data for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It will add, update and remove <meta> elements to the <head> section based on the JSON object passed to it.

Installation

npm install @sherby/sherby-metadata

Use

To use this element, import it in your shell component and add a sherby-metadata element in your component template.

<sherby-metadata .data="${data}"></sherby-metadata>

<!-- Or alternatively if you want to dispatch events: -->
<sherby-metadata></sherby-metadata>

To update the meta tags on your page, you can update the data property in your shell component or you can dispatch a sherby-metadata event:

// By updating the data property
this.data = {
  description: 'This is the page description',
  keywords: 'these,are,keywords',
  title: 'This is the page title',
};

// By dispatching a custom event
this.dispatchEvent(
  new CustomEvent('sherby-metadata', {
    detail: {
      description: 'This is the page description',
      keywords: 'these,are,keywords',
      title: 'This is the page title',
    },
  }),
);

This component support also the OpenGraph tags:

this.data = {
  'og:description': 'This is the page description',
  'og:keywords': 'these,are,keywords',
  'og:title': 'This is the page title',
};

Thanks

Special thanks to CaptainCodeman for his app-metadata component that inspired me for this component.
