JSPM – react-helmet@2.3.0

Package Exports

react-helmet
react-helmet/lib/HelmetConstants
react-helmet/lib/HelmetConstants.js
react-helmet/package
react-helmet/package.json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-helmet) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

                        {"property": "og:type", "content": "article"}
                    ]}
                    link={[
                        {"rel": "canonical", "href": "http://mysite.com/example"},
                        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png"},
                        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "sizes": "72x72", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png"}
                    ]}
                    script={[
                      {"src": "http://include.com/pathtojs.js", "type": "text/javascript"}

            </div>
        );
    }
};

Features

Supports isomorphic environment.
Nested components override duplicate head changes.
Duplicate head changes preserved when specified in same component (support for tags like "apple-touch-icon").
Only valid base/meta/link/script key names allowed.
Support for callbacks to fire when Helmet changes the DOM.

Installation

npm install --save react-helmet

Server Usage

To use on the server, call rewind() after ReactDOM.renderToString or ReactDOM.renderToStaticMarkup to get the head data for use in your prerender.

ReactDOM.renderToString(<Handler />);
let head = Helmet.rewind();

head.title
head.base
head.meta
head.link
head.script

head contains five possible properties, title, base, meta, link, script:

Each property contains toComponent() and toString() methods. Use whichever is appropriate for your environment. E.g:

As string output

const html = `
    <!doctype html>
    <html>
        <head>
            ${head.title.toString()}
            ${head.meta.toString()}
            ${head.link.toString()}
        </head>
        <body>
            <div id="content">
                // React stuff here
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
`;

As React components

class HTML extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <html>
                <head>
                    {head.title.toComponent()}
                    {head.meta.toComponent()}
                    {head.link.toComponent()}
                </head>
                <body>
                    <div id="content">
                        // React stuff here
                    </div>
                </body>
            </html>
        );
    }
}

Use Cases

Nested or latter components will override duplicate changes.

<Helmet
    title="My Title"
    meta={[
        {"name": "description", "content": "Helmet application"}
    ]}
/>
<Helmet
    title="Nested Title"
    meta={[
        {"name": "description", "content": "Nested component"}
    ]}
/>

Yields:

<head>
    <title>Nested Title</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Nested component">
</head>

Use a titleTemplate to format title text in your page title

<Helmet
    title="My Title"
    titleTemplate="%s | MyAwesomeWebsite.com"
/>
<Helmet
    title="Nested Title"
/>

Yields:

<head>
    <title>Nested Title | MyAwesomeWebsite.com</title>
</head>

Duplicate meta and/or link tags in the same component are preserved

<Helmet
    link={[
        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png"},
        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "sizes": "72x72", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png"}
    ]}
/>

Yields:

<head>
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png">
</head>

Duplicate tags can still be overwritten

<Helmet
    link={[
        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png"},
        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "sizes": "72x72", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png"}
    ]}
/>
<Helmet
    link={[
        {"rel": "apple-touch-icon", "href": "http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png"}
    ]}
/>

Yields:

<head>
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://mysite.com/img/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png">
</head>

Only one base tag is allowed

<Helmet
    base={{"href": "http://mysite.com/"}}
/>
<Helmet
    base={{"href": "http://mysite.com/blog"}}
/>

Yields:

<head>
    <base href="http://mysite.com/blog">
</head>
