📦 Installation

npm install dev-credit

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Zero-Config Meta Tags (Instant Setup)

Add this to your root layout file (app/layout.js or app/layout.tsx):

import "dev-credit/auto";
import { withDevMeta } from "dev-credit";

export const metadata = withDevMeta();

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

That's it! 🎉 Your site will now have 4 essential developer credit meta tags.

Option 2: Add Custom Developer Credits

import { withDevMeta } from "dev-credit";
import type { Metadata } from "next";

export const metadata: Metadata = withDevMeta(undefined, {
  title: "My Awesome Next.js App",
  description: "An amazing application built with Next.js",
  icons: {
    icon: "/favicon.ico",
  },
});

This adds exactly 4 clean meta tags to your HTML <head> section:

<meta name="developer" content="Himangshu Mishra" />
<meta name="developer-website" content="https://mishra.codes" />
<meta name="built-by" content="Himangshu Mishra" />
<meta name="publisher" content="Softq Web Solutions" />

Option 3: Custom Developer Credits

Use your own developer information:

import { withDevMeta } from "dev-credit";
import type { Metadata } from "next";

export const metadata: Metadata = withDevMeta({
  developer: "Your Name",
  website: "https://yourwebsite.com", 
  email: "you@example.com"
}, {
  title: "My App",
  description: "My awesome app",
  icons: {
    icon: "/favicon.ico",
  },
});
