parcel-optimizer-ogimage

Set absolute URL for og:image and twitter:image meta tags.

This plugin is based on Luke Childs and nothingrandom and Eliepse code.

Sets absolute URLs for og:image meta tags. This is required by the spec and relative URLs will not work on some sites such as Facebook or Twitter.

This plugin uses the value of the og:url meta tag to convert og:image to an absolute URL.

Important: This plugin request Parcel v2

Installation

Depending on which package manager you use, either:

• $ npm install --save-dev parcel-optimizer-ogimage
• $ yarn add --dev parcel-optimizer-friendly-ogimage

Next, add the plugin to the optimizer entry in your .parcelrc:

{
  "extends": "@parcel/config-default",
  "optimizers": {
    "*.html": ["parcel-optimizer-ogimage", "..."]
  },
  ...
}

Usage

Just install this package as a development dependency. Parcel will automatically call it when building your application.

You must have both og:image and og:url meta tags:

<meta name="twitter:image" content="card.png">
<meta property="og:image" content="card.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com">

Parcel will generate that into something like this:

<meta name="twitter:image" content="/card.9190ce93.png">
<meta property="og:image" content="/card.9190ce93.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com">

parcel-plugin-ogimage will then update the og:image and twitter:image with an absolute URL:

<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://example.com/card.9190ce93.png">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/card.9190ce93.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com">
