react-router-dispatcher-metadata

A react-router-dispatcher action for defining HTML metadata.

Read the react-router-dispatcher documentation if you haven't already done so.

This package supports:

• server-side rendering using streams
• composing metadata from nested components (similar to react-helmet)

There is an working example here

Internally, react-html-metadata is used to support the use of metadata with the react SSR stream interface, for more information about how to define metadata you should view that packages readme file.

Install

NPM

npm install --save react-router-dispatcher-metadata react-router-metadata

Yarn

yarn add react-router-dispatcher-metadata react-router-metadata

Usage

import metadataAction, { withMetadata, METADATA } from 'react-router-dispatcher-metadata';

// METADATA is the action name, used to configure react-router-dispatcher

Example

Using the metadata action

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { renderRoutes } from 'react-router-config';
import { withMetadata } from 'react-router-dispatcher-metadata';

class AppRoot extends Component {

    static propTypes = {
        route: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
        assets: PropTypes.object.isRequired
    };

    // define metadata for this component
    static getMetadata(match, { assets }) {
        return {
            htmlAttributes: {lang: 'en', amp: undefined},
            bodyAttributes: {className: 'root'},
            titleTemplate: "MySite.com - %s",
            meta: [
                { charset: 'utf-8' },
                { name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' }
            ],
            link: [
                { rel: 'shortcut icon', href: 'favicon.ico' },
                { rel: 'stylesheet', href: assets['main.css'] }
            ]
        };
    }

    render() {
        const { route: { routes } } = this.props;
        return renderRoutes(routes || null);
    }
}

// Maps react-router-dispatcher action parameters to component prop values
// - this is used for SSR and client metadata-hydration to enable correct props to be passed to 'getMetadata()'
// - the map function MUST map params to the SAME prop values the component will receive during a normal render
const mapParamsToProps = ({ assets }) => ({ assets });

export default withMetadata({ mapParamsToProps })(AppRoot);

Configuring the metadata action using react-router-dispatcher

import { createRouteDispatchers } from 'react-router-dispatcher';
import { METADATA } from 'react-router-dispatcher-metadata';
import routes from './routes';

const {
    UniversalRouteDispatcher,
    ClientRouteDispatcher,
    dispatchClientActions,
    dispatchServerActions
} = createRouteDispatchers(routes, [[METADATA]]);

API

metadataAction(options)

Options

mapParamsToProps: (params: Object, routerCtx: Object) => Object

• An optional function that maps action parameters to component props
