Twitter

Twitter will read the og:title, og:image and og:description tags for their card, this is why svelte-meta-tags omits twitter:title, twitter:image and twitter:description so not to duplicate.

Facebook

}}

Add this to your SEO config to include the fb:app_id meta if you need to enable Facebook insights for your site. Information regarding this can be found in facebook's documentation

    nosnippet: true,
    maxSnippet: -1,

Alternate

This link relation is used to indicate a relation between a desktop and a mobile website to search engines.

Example:

mobileAlternate={{
  media: 'only screen and (max-width: 640px)',
  href: 'https://m.canonical.ie'
}}
languageAlternates={[
  {
    hrefLang: 'de-AT',
    href: 'https://www.canonical.ie/de'
  }
]}

Additional Meta Tags

This allows you to add any other meta tags that are not covered in the config.

content is required. Then either name, property or httpEquiv. (Only one on each)

Example:

additionalMetaTags={[
  {
    property: 'dc:creator',
    content: 'Jane Doe'
  },
  {
    name: 'application-name',
    content: 'Svelte-Meta-Tags'
  },
  {
    httpEquiv: 'x-ua-compatible',
    content: 'IE=edge; chrome=1'
  }
]}

Invalid Examples:

These are invalid as they contain more than one of name, property and httpEquiv on the same entry.

additionalMetaTags={[
  {
    property: 'dc:creator',
    name: 'dc:creator',
    content: 'Jane Doe'
  },
  {
    property: 'application-name',
    httpEquiv: 'application-name',
    content: 'Svelte-Meta-Tags'
  }
]}

One thing to note on this is that it currently only supports unique tags. This means it will only render one tag per unique name / property / httpEquiv. The last one defined will be rendered.

Example:

If you pass:

additionalMetaTags={[
  {
    property: 'dc:creator',
    content: 'John Doe'
  },
  {
    property: 'dc:creator',
    content: 'Jane Doe'
  }
]}

it will result in this being rendered:

<meta property="dc:creator" content="Jane Doe" />,

Additional Link Tags

This allows you to add any other link tags that are not covered in the config.

rel and href is required.

Example:

additionalLinkTags={[
  {
    rel: 'icon',
    href: 'https://www.test.ie/favicon.ico'
  },
  {
    rel: 'apple-touch-icon',
    href: 'https://www.test.ie/touch-icon-ipad.jpg',
    sizes: '76x76'
  },
  {
    rel: 'manifest',
    href: '/manifest.json'
  }
]}

it will result in this being rendered:

<link rel="icon" href="https://www.test.ie/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://www.test.ie/touch-icon-ipad.jpg" sizes="76x76" />
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />

JSON-LD

To discover all the different content types JSON-LD offers check out: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery

It is also possible to use multiple <JsonLd /> components in a single page.
