@soffyo/use-title v1.0.8

use-title

React hook for managing the document title

This hook is used for setting the current document title. It provies a way to add a prefix alongside every title through HTML <meta> tags in a SPA (Single Page App).

Installation

npm i --save @soffyo/use-title

Usage example

index.html

<meta name="use-title-prefix" content="My custom prefix">

index.js

import { useTitle } from "@soffyo/use-title"

function Component() {
    useTitle("My page title")
    
    return (
        ...
    )
}

Resulting title

My page title - My custom prefix 

Prefix

The prefix functionality is provided via setting a <meta> tag into the HTML which loads your script. The HTML meta tag must include a name="use-title-prefix" attribute and the content="" attribute value determines your custom prefix. This prefix will be included in every title set via the useTitle hook, unless the { prefix: false } option is passed.

API

The useTitle hook doesn't return anything and accepts two arguments:

title?: string
options?: { prefix: boolean }

• title: Optional - the title you want to use for the actual page when the component is rendered.
• options: Optional - a config object. It only supports the prefix property for now which determines if the prefix set via meta HTML tags will be included in the page title. Defaults to { prefix: true }

When no argument is passed, use-title-prefix content value from the meta tag will be used as the page title.
