Astro SEO - @astrolib/seo
Astro SEO is an integration that makes managing your SEO easier in Astro projects. It is fully based on the excellent Next SEO library
Usage
Astro SEO works by including it on pages where you would like SEO attributes to be added. Once included on the page you pass it a configuration object with the page's SEO properties. This can be dynamically generated at a page level or in some cases your API may return an SEO object.
Setup
First, install it:
npm install @astrolib/seo
or
yarn add @astrolib/seo
Add SEO to Page
Then you need to import @astrolib/seo and add the desired properties. This will render out the tags in the <head> for SEO. At a bare minimum, you should add a title and description.
Example with just title and description:
---
import { AstroSeo } from '@astrolib/seo';
---
<AstroSeo
title="Simple Usage Example"
description="A short description goes here."
/>
But Astro SEO gives you many more options that you can add. See below for a typical example of a page.
Typical page example:
---
import { AstroSeo } from '@astrolib/seo';
---
<AstroSeo
title="Using More of Config"
description="This example uses more of the available config options."
