gatsby-theme-seo

A Gatsby theme for site SEO. Built with TypeScript.

BEAKING CHANGE

As of v.1.0.0 the twitter handle is now removed from siteMetadata and instead taken as a prop o the actual SEO component itself. The reason for this change was to prevent clashing with other themes that use siteMetadata.

BEAKING CHANGE v1.1.0

As of v.1.1.0 the image prop has been removed in favor of an ogImage prop which expects a full url to your open graph image

Usage:

In your sites gatsby-config:

module.exports = {
    plugins: [
         {
            resolve: 'gatsby-theme-seo', 
            options: {
                title: 'My awesome website',
                author: 'Rich Haines',
                siteUrl: 'https://www.myawesomewebsite.com',
                social: {
                    twitter: 'studio_hungry'
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

import React from 'react';
import {SEO} from 'gatsby-theme-seo';

const Index = () => (
    <div>
        <SEO title="Test" description="My site is super amazing"/>
        <h1>This is a title</h1>
    </div>
)

export default Index;

The description is optional so you can grab it from a data source. This gives you the flexibility to allow your CMS to dictate this information instead of the hardcoded values from the themes options.

import React from 'react';
import {SEO} from 'gatsby-theme-seo';
import {graphql, useStaticQuery} from 'gatsby';

const Index = () => {
  const content = useStaticQuery(query);
  const metadata = content.allSanityMetadata.edges;
  return (
    <Layout>
      {metadata.map(({node}) => (
        <SEO
        title="My Awesome Website"
        description={node.description}
        keywords={node.keywords}
      />
      ))}
    </Layout>
  );
};

export default Index;

export const query = graphql`
  query MainImageQuery {
    allSanityMetadata {
      edges {
        node {
          keywords
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

import React from 'react';
import {SEO} from 'gatsby-theme-seo';

const Index = () => (
    <div>
        <SEO title="Test" />
        <h1>This is a title</h1>
    </div>
)

export default Index;
