react-helmet-async v2.0.5
react-helmet-async
Announcement post on Times Open blog
This package is a fork of React Helmet.
<Helmet>
usage is synonymous, but server and client now requires <HelmetProvider>
to encapsulate state per request.
react-helmet
relies on react-side-effect
, which is not thread-safe. If you are doing anything asynchronous on the server, you need Helmet to encapsulate data on a per-request basis, this package does just that.
Usage
The main way that this package differs from react-helmet
is that it requires using a Provider to encapsulate Helmet state for your React tree. If you use libraries like Redux or Apollo, you are already familiar with this paradigm:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Helmet, { HelmetProvider } from 'react-helmet-async';
const app = (
<HelmetProvider>
<App>
<Helmet>
<title>Hello World</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.tacobell.com/" />
</Helmet>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</App>
</HelmetProvider>
);
ReactDOM.hydrate(
app,
document.getElementById(‘app’)
);
On the server, we will no longer use static methods to extract state. react-side-effect
exposed a .rewind()
method, which Helmet used when calling Helmet.renderStatic()
. Instead, we are going
to pass a context
prop to HelmetProvider
, which will hold our state specific to each request.
import React from 'react';
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server';
import Helmet, { HelmetProvider } from 'react-helmet-async';
const helmetContext = {};
const app = (
<HelmetProvider context={helmetContext}>
<App>
<Helmet>
<title>Hello World</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.tacobell.com/" />
</Helmet>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</App>
</HelmetProvider>
);
const html = renderToString(app);
const { helmet } = helmetContext;
// helmet.title.toString() etc…
Streams
This package only works with streaming if your <head>
data is output outside of renderToNodeStream()
.
This is possible if your data hydration method already parses your React tree. Example:
import through from 'through';
import { renderToNodeStream } from 'react-dom/server';
import { getDataFromTree } from 'react-apollo';
import Helmet, { HelmetProvider } from 'react-helmet-async';
import template from 'server/template';
const helmetContext = {};
const app = (
<HelmetProvider context={helmetContext}>
<App>
<Helmet>
<title>Hello World</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.tacobell.com/" />
</Helmet>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</App>
</HelmetProvider>
);
await getDataFromTree(app);
const [header, footer] = template({
helmet: helmetContext.helmet,
});
res.status(200);
res.write(header);
renderToNodeStream(app)
.pipe(
through(
function write(data) {
this.queue(data);
},
function end() {
this.queue(footer);
this.queue(null);
}
)
)
.pipe(res);
