Usage

Each component in react-schema-markup accepts props that are used to populate the structured data in JSON-LD format. Below is an example of RichBreadCrumbs. For more examples and usages please see the tests folder.

SSR

Each component takes a Wrapper component ScriptWrap this is to allow to pass in custom scrip tags:

import Script from 'next/script'
import RichBreadCrumbs from 'react-schema-markup/dist/RichBreadCrumbs'
...

<RichBreadCrumbs ScriptWrap={Script} />

RichBreadCrumbs Component

The Breadcrumbs component generates structured breadcrumb data for a website.

import RichBreadCrumbs from 'react-schema-markup/dist/RichBreadCrumbs'
...

<RichBreadCrumbs/>

Given this url: https://www.example.com/tester/big/spender

This will produce:

{
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
      "itemListElement": [
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 1,
          "name": "Home",
          "item": "https://www.example.com"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 2,
          "name": "Tester",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/tester"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 3,
          "name": "Big",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/tester/big"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 4,
          "name": "Spender",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/tester/big/spender"
        }
      ]
    }

Given this url which has a locale of en: https://www.example.com/en/tester

This will produce:

{
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
      "itemListElement": [
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 1,
          "name": "Home",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/en"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 2,
          "name": "Tester",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/en/tester"
        }
      ]
    }

Props:

• supportedLocales (string[]): Optional parameter, to take into consideration locales.
• includeTrailingSlash (boolean): By default this is false.

If your url is like: https://www.example.com/subdirectory/cat

and you expect it to return:

{
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
      "itemListElement": [
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 1,
          "name": "Home",
          "item": "https://www.example.com"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ListItem",
          "position": 2,
          "name": "Cat",
          "item": "https://www.example.com/subdirectory/cat"
        }
      ]
    }

Then this isn't for you and you're not invited to my birthday party, sort your directories out.
