@kwsites/cms-seo

Search engine optimising helpers for apostrophe backed applications.

What you get

This module includes an 'improve' to the apostrophe-doc-type-manager to add a new seo field to all modules that extend either apostrophe-pieces or apostrophe-custom-pages unless that module is configured with seoEnabled: false in its options.

The seo schema is { description: 'string', 'image': 'apostrophe-images' } by default, this can be modified by overriding the seoFields option.

Your templates can then make use of data.page.seo or data.piece.seo to access your seo data.

How to include it

Add the usual import to your app.js:

apostrophe({
   modules: {

      '@kwsites/cms-seo': {
         site: 'My Website Name',
         twitter: '@my-user-name',
      },

   }
});

Your apostrophe-pieces and apostrophe-custom-pages editors will now show an SEO section. To include the SEO friendly meta data, edit your outerLayout.html to include the provided template:

 {%- include "@kwsites/cms-seo:meta.html" -%}

How to customise it

apostrophe({
   modules: {

      '@kwsites/cms-seo': {

         // set the name used in the title      
         site: 'My Website Name',
         
         // set your username, or empty string / false if not using twitter
         twitter: '@my-user-name',

         // disable a meta section by setting it to false
         'canonical': false,

         // or use a custom template for a meta section by setting it an file name
         'openGraph': 'my-custom-template.html',
      },
   }
});
