React Safety Helmet
A fork of react-helmet that support for renderToNodeStream and thread safe with the power of redux
This reusable React component will manage all of your changes to the document head.
Helmet takes plain HTML tags and outputs plain HTML tags. It's dead simple, and React beginner friendly.
This is a fork of react-helmet.
Example
import React from "react";
import {Helmet} from "react-safety-helmet";
class Application extends React.Component {
render () {
return (
<div className="application">
<Helmet>
<meta charSet="utf-8" />
<title>My Title</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://mysite.com/example" />
</Helmet>
...
</div>
);
}
};Nested or latter components will override duplicate changes:
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { HelmetProvider, createHelmetStore } from 'react-safety-helmet';
function bootstrap() {
const helmetStore = createHelmetStore();
ReactDOM.render(
<HelmetProvider store={helmetStore}>
<Parent>
<Helmet>
<title>My Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Helmet application" />
</Helmet>
<Child>
<Helmet>
<title>Nested Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Nested component" />
</Helmet>
</Child>
</Parent>
</HelmetProvider>,
document.getElementById('app')
);
}outputs:
<head>
<title>Nested Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Nested component">
</head>See below for a full reference guide.
Features
- Supports all valid head tags:
title,base,meta,link,script,noscript, andstyletags. - Supports attributes for
body,htmlandtitletags. - Supports server-side rendering.
- Nested components override duplicate head changes.
- Duplicate head changes are preserved when specified in the same component (support for tags like "apple-touch-icon").
- Callback for tracking DOM changes.
Installation
Yarn:
yarn add react-safety-helmetnpm:
npm install --save react-safety-helmetServer Usage
To use on the server, call store.renderStatic() after ReactDOMServer.renderToString or ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup to get the head data for use in your prerender.
import { createHelmetStore, HelmetProvider } from 'react-safety-helmet';
const helmetStore = createHelmetStore();
ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
<HelmetProvider store={helmetStore}
<Handler />
</HelmetProvider>
);
const helmet = helmetStore.renderStatic();This helmet instance contains the following properties:
basebodyAttributeshtmlAttributeslinkmetanoscriptscriptstyletitle
Each property contains toComponent() and toString() methods. Use whichever is appropriate for your environment. For attributes, use the JSX spread operator on the object returned by toComponent(). E.g:
As string output
const html = `
<!doctype html>
<html ${helmet.htmlAttributes.toString()}>
<head>
${helmet.title.toString()}
${helmet.meta.toString()}
${helmet.link.toString()}
</head>
<body ${helmet.bodyAttributes.toString()}>
<div id="content">
// React stuff here
</div>
</body>
</html>
`;As React components
function HTML () {
const htmlAttrs = helmet.htmlAttributes.toComponent();
const bodyAttrs = helmet.bodyAttributes.toComponent();
return (
<html {...htmlAttrs}>
<head>
{helmet.title.toComponent()}
{helmet.meta.toComponent()}
{helmet.link.toComponent()}
</head>
<body {...bodyAttrs}>
<div id="content">
// React stuff here
</div>
</body>
</html>
);
}Server Usage with ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream() and ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticNodeStream()
new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const helmetStore = createHelmetStore();
let body = '';
ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream(
<HelmetProvider store={helmetStore}>
<App />
</HelmetProvider>,
)
.on('data', (chunk) => {
body += chunk;
})
.on('error', (err) => {
reject(err);
})
.on('end', () => {
resolve({
body,
helmet: helmetStore.renderStatic(),
});
});
}).then(({body, helmet}) => {
// Create html with body and helmet object

</Helmet>Where is Helmet.rewind(), Helmet.renderStatic() and peek() ?
Use helmetStore.renderStatic() instead of Helmet.rewind() and Helmet.renderStatic()
const helmetStore = createHelmetStore();
ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
<HelmetProvider store={helmetStore}>
<Helmet>
<title>My Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Helmet application" />
</Helmet>
</HelmetProvider>
);
const head = helmetStore.renderStatic();Use helmetStore.peek() instead of Helmet.peek()
const helmetStore = createHelmetStore();
ReactDOM.render(
<HelmetProvider store={helmetStore}>
<Helmet>
<title>Fancy title</title>
</Helmet>
</HelmetProvider>,
container
);
helmetStore.peek().title; // "Fancy title"Contributing to this project
