Reactive meta tags, Scripts and CSSs for Meteor and Iron-Router

Change meta tags on the fly within iron-router. This package can create meta tags, and link/script tags as well.

This package may also help to use dynamic CSSs and JSs, so you may use different style sheets - for different routes.

This package supports meta, script and link options (properties) defined on objects below, ordered by prioritization:

  • Router.route() [overrides all]
  • RouteController.extend()
  • Router.configure() [might be overridden by any above]

Note: this package implies ostrio:iron-router-title package.

Install:

meteor add ostrio:iron-router-meta

Usage:

Change CSS and JS per route:

1// Set default CSS and JS for all routes
2Router.configure({
3  link: {
4    twbs: {
5      href: 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css',
6      rel: 'stylesheet'
7    }
8  },
9  script: {
10    twbs: "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/2.3.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"
11  }
12});
13
14// Rewrite default CSS, for second route, via controller:
15var secondPageController = RouteController.extend({
16  link: {
17    twbs: {
18      href: 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css',
19      rel: 'stylesheet'
20    }
21  },
22  script: {
23    twbs: "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"
24  }
25});
26
27Router.route('secondPage', {
28  controller: secondPageController
29});
30
31// Rewrite default CSS, for third route via route settings:
32Router.route('thirdPage', {
33  link: {
34    twbs: {
35      href: 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha/css/bootstrap.min.css',
36      rel: 'stylesheet'
37    }
38  },
39  script: {
40    twbs: "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha/js/bootstrap.min.js"
41  }
42});

Set default tags:

1Router.configure({
2  meta: {
3    charset: {
4      charset: 'UTF-8'
5    },
6    keywords: {
7      name: 'keywords',
8      itemprop: 'keywords',
9      content: 'Awesome, Meteor, based, app'
10    },
11    robots: 'index, follow',
12    google: 'notranslate'
13  },
14  link: {
15    canonical: function() {
16      return window.location.href;
17    },
18    image: {
19      rel: 'image',
20      sizes: '500x500',
21      href: 'http://doma..'
22    },
23    publisher: 'http://plus.google...',
24    twbs: {
25      href: 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css',
26      rel: 'stylesheet'
27    }
28  },
29  script: {
30    twbs: 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js',
31    base64: {
32      src: 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Base64/0.3.0/base64.min.js',
33      async: true,
34      defer: true
35    }
36  }
37});

Set on route level

1Router.route('account', {
2  template: 'account',
3  path: '/me/account',
4  title: 'My Account',
5  meta: {
6    keywords: {
7      name: 'keywords',
8      itemprop: 'keywords',
9      content: 'User, Account'
10    }
11  }
12});

Set via RouteController:

1var accountController = RouteController.extend({
2  meta: {
3    keywords: 'User, Account'
4  }
5});
6
7Router.route('account', {
8  controller: accountController
9});

Other examples:

Set only name and content attributes on meta tag:

1Router.route('routeName', {
2  meta: {
3    name: 'content'
4  }
5});

Set only rel and href attributes on link tag:

1Router.route('routeName', {
2  link: {
3    rel: 'href'
4  }
5});

Set multiple attributes on meta tag:

1Router.route('routeName', {
2  meta: {
3    uniqueName: {
4      name: 'name',
5      content: 'content',
6      value: 'value',
7      'og:prop': 'value',
8      itemprop: 'value'
9    }
10  }
11});

Set multiple attributes on link tag:

1Router.route('routeName', {
2  link: {
3    uniqueName: {
4      rel: 'name',
5      sizes: 'value',
6      href: 'value',
7      type: 'value'
8    }
9  }
10});

Use function(s) as value:

1Router.route('routeName', {
2  meta: {
3    url: {
4      property: 'og:url',
5      itemprop: 'url',
6      content: function() {
7        return window.location.href;
8      }
9    }
10  },
11  link: {
12    canonical: function() {
13      return window.location.href;
14    }
15  }
16});

Use function context:

1Router.route('post', {
2  template: 'post',
3  path: '/post/:_id',
4  meta: function() {
5    return {
6      keywords: {
7        name: 'keywords',
8        itemprop: 'keywords',
9        content: function() {
10          return this.data.getKeywords();
11        }
12      }
13    };
14  },
15  data: {
16    getKeywords: function() {
17      return PostsCollection.findOne(this.params._id).keywords;
18    }
19  }
20});
