Headx

It is a React Package to automatically modify the main html file (like index.html) to add the provided SEO meta tags and more. For example you can use it to add on the build time the following meta tags: title, description, open graph, twitter, icons and more.

Install

npm install --save headx

Usage

Then you need to import headx as Headx. This will render out the tags in the <head> for SEO. At a bare minimum, you should add a title and description.

Example with just title and description:

import Headx from 'headx'

const Page = () => (
  <>
    <Headx
      title='Headx - Document Head Manager ⚓'
      meta={[{ name: 'description', content: 'Document Head Manager ⚓' }]}
    />

    <p>Simple Usage</p>
  </>
)

export default Page

But Headx gives you many more options that you can add inside the head tag. See below for a more detail example of a page.

Typical page example:

import React from 'react'

import Headx from 'headx'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <Headx
        title='Headx - Document Head Manager ⚓'
        meta={[
          { name: 'description', content: 'Document Head Manager ⚓' },
          { name: 'author', content: 'theritikchoure' }
        ]}
        httpEquiv={[{ name: 'refresh', content: '30' }]}
        links={[{ name: 'stylesheet', content: 'styles.css' }]}
        og={[
          { name: 'type', content: 'website' },
          { name: 'url', content: 'http://example.com' }
        ]}
        twitter={[
          { name: 'type', content: 'website' },
          { name: 'url', content: 'http://example.com' }
        ]}
      />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

Default SEO Configuration

Headx enables you to set some default SEO properties that will appear on all pages without needing to include anything on them. You can also override these on a page by page basis if needed.

To achieve this, Within your Layout or Header file you will need to import headx and pass it props.

Here is a typical example:

import React from 'react'

import Headx from 'headx'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <Headx
        og={[
          { name: 'type', content: 'website' },
          { name: 'url', content: 'http://example.com' }
        ]}
        twitter={[
          { name: 'type', content: 'website' },
          { name: 'url', content: 'http://example.com' }
        ]}
      />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

Note: To work properly default seo configuration, Headx should be placed in Layout or Navbar file.

From now on all of your pages will have the defaults above applied.
