NGX SEO Page

Library that facilitates the management of canonical links, metatags, structured data and the title of web pages.

Description

Building an angular application is pretty easy, but leaving it with a good score on the crawlers already starts to complicate. With the advent of new techniques for SEO and how the web pages are built, questions arise that begin to get more complex in your project.

Two of them are: canonical links and structured data

It is of utmost importance to use these two artifacts to succeed in SEO. And as this process begins on the server, this library has been developed with a single goal: to provide SEO resolution and optimization ways to render the application on the server.

Installation

Use the node package manager to install: npm i ngx-seo-page or yarn yarn add ngx-seo-page and its done!

There is no more configuration to install.

Usage

It is very simple to use this library but, first of all, I advise its use in two points:

• If you are using a Resolve, use tap to use the library

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot, Resolve, RouterStateSnapshot } from '@angular/router';

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

import { PageService } from 'ngx-seo-page';

import { ApiService } from '@application/core/api/api.service';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root',
})
export class RandomResolverService implements Resolve<any> {
  constructor(private apiService: ApiService, private pageService: PageService) {}

  resolve(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<any> | Promise<any> | any {
    return this.apiService.fetchSomeRandomData().pipe(
      tap(() => {
        this.pageService.updatePage({
          title: 'Some Random Title',
          schema: {
            '@type': 'WebSite',
            name: 'Github',
            url: 'https://github.com',
          },
          metatags: [
            { name: 'description', content: 'Description XPTO' },
            { property: 'og:url', content: 'https://github.com/' },
            { property: 'og:title', content: 'Github' },
          ],
          canonical: 'https://www.github.com/',
        });
      })
    );
  }
}

• But you you are not using a Resolve and just a simple component, it is preferable that you place inside on OnInit

import { Component, OnInit, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

import { PageService } from 'ngx-seo-page';

@Component({
  selector: 'nmk-random',
  templateUrl: './random.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./random.component.scss'],
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
})
export class RandomComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private pageService: PageService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.pageService.updatePage({
      title: 'Some Random Title',
      schema: {
        '@type': 'WebSite',
        name: 'Github',
        url: 'https://github.com',
      },
      metatags: [
        { name: 'description', content: 'Description XPTO' },
        { property: 'og:url', content: 'https://github.com/' },
        { property: 'og:title', content: 'Github' },
      ],
      canonical: 'https://www.github.com/',
    });
  }
}
