# vue-meta
manage page meta info in Vue 2.0 server-rendered apps
Manage page meta info in Vue 2.0 server-rendered components. Supports streaming. No dependencies.
> **Please note** that this project is still in very early alpha development and is *not* considered to be production ready.
# Description
`vue-meta` is a [Vue 2.0](https://vuejs.org) plugin that allows you to manage your app's meta information, much like [`react-helmet`](https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet) does for React. However, instead of setting your data as props passed to a proprietary component, you simply export it as part of your component's data using the `metaInfo` property.
These properties, when set on a deeply nested component, will cleverly overwrite their parent components' `metaInfo`, thereby enabling custom info for each top-level view as well as coupling meta info directly to deeply nested subcomponents for more maintainable code.
# Install
```sh
$ yarn add vue-meta
# or $ npm install vue-meta --save
```
# Usage
### Step 1: Preparing the plugin
In order to use this plugin, you first need to pass it to `Vue.use` in a file that runs both on the server and on the client before your root instance is mounted. If you're using [`vue-router`](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router), then your main `router.js` file is a good place:
**router.js:**
```js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
import Meta from 'vue-meta'
Vue.use(Router)
Vue.use(Meta)
export default new Router({
...
})
```
### Step 2: Exposing `$meta` to `bundleRenderer`
You'll need to expose the results of the `$meta` method that `vue-meta` adds to the Vue instance to the bundle render context before you can begin injecting your meta information. You'll need to do this in your server entry file:
**server-entry.js:**
```js
import app from './app'
const router = app.$router
const store = app.$store
const meta = app.$meta() // here
export default (context) => {
router.push(context.url)
return Promise.all(
router.getMatchedComponents().map(
(component) => component.preFetch
? component.preFetch(store)
: component
)
)
.then(() => {
context.initialState = store.state
context.meta = meta // and here
return app
})
}
```
### Step 3: Server-side rendering with `inject()`
All that's left for you to do now before you can begin using `metaInfo` options in your components is to make sure they work on the server by `inject`-ing them. You have two methods at your disposal:
#### `renderToString()`
Considerably the easiest method to wrap your head around is if your Vue server markup is rendered out as a string:
**server.js:**
```js
...
app.get('*', (request, response) => {
const context = { url: request.url }
renderer.renderToString(context, (error, html) => {
if (error) {
...
} else {
const { initialState, meta } = context
const metaInfo = meta.inject()
response.send(`
<!doctype html>
<html ${metaInfo.htmlAttrs.toString()}>
<head>
${metaInfo.title.toString()}
<script>
window.__INITIAL_STATE__ = ${ !initialState
? '{}'
: serialize(initialState, { isJSON: true })
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
${html}
<script src="/assets/vendor.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/client.bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
`)
}
})
})
...
```
#### `renderToStream()`
A little more complex, but well worth it, is to instead stream your response. `vue-meta` supports streaming with no effort (on it's part :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) thanks to Vue's clever `bundleRenderer` context injection:
**server.js**
```js
app.get('*', (request, response) => {
const context = { url: request.url }
const renderStream = renderer.renderToStream(context)
let firstChunk = true
response.write('<!doctype html>')
renderStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
if (firstChunk) {
const metaInfo = context.meta.inject()
if (metaInfo.htmlAttrs) {
response.write(`<html ${metaInfo.htmlAttrs.toString()}>`)
}
response.write('<head>')
if (metaInfo.title) {
response.write(metaInfo.title.toString())
}
response.write('</head><body>')
if (context.initialState) {
response.write(
`<script>window.__INITIAL_STATE__=${
serialize(context.initialState, { isJSON: true })
}</script>`
)
}
firstChunk = false
}
response.write(chunk)
})
renderStream.on('end', () => {
response.end(`
<script src="/assets/vendor.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/client.bundle.js"></script>
</body></html>
`)
})
renderStream.on('error', (error) => {
response.status(500).end(`<pre>${error.stack}</pre>`)
})
})
```
### Step 4: Start defining `metaInfo`
In any of your components, define a `metaInfo` property:
**App.vue:**
```html
<template>
<div id="app">
<router-view></router-view>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'App',
metaInfo: {
// if no subcomponents specify a metaInfo.title, this title will be used
title: 'Default Title',
// all titles will be injected into this template
titleTemplate: '%s | My Awesome Webapp'
}
}
</script>
```
**Home.vue**
```html
<template>
<div id="page">
<h1>Home Page</h1>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Home',
metaInfo: {
title: 'My Awesome Webapp',
// override the parent template and just use the above title only
titleTemplate: null
}
}
</script>
```
**About.vue**
```html
<template>
<div id="page">
<h1>About Page</h1>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'About',
metaInfo: {
// title will be injected into parent titleTemplate
title: 'About Us'
}
}
</script>
```
