Add meta Tag dynamically

[arukumar]

Hi,
can you please explain, how to add meta tag dynamically in server side rending. I have written something like

import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react'
import { defineMessages, FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl'
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux';
import DocumentMeta from 'react-document-meta';

export default class metaTag extends React.Component {
    render() {
        const meta = {
            title: 'Some Meta Title',
            description: 'I am a description, and I can create multiple tags',
            canonical: 'http://example.com/path/to/page',
            meta: {
                charSet: 'utf-8',
                name: {
                    keywords: 'react,meta,document,html,tags'
                },
                itemProp: {
                    name: 'The Name or Title Here',
                    description: 'This is the page description',
                    image: 'http://example.com/image.jpg'
                },
                property: {
                    'og:title': 'I am overriding!',
                    'og:type': 'article',
                    'og:image': 'http://example.com/image.jpg',
                    'og:site_name': 'Example Site Name',
                    'og:price:amount': '19.50',
                    'og:price:currency': 'USD',
                    'twitter:site': '@site',
                    'twitter:title': 'I am a Twitter title'
                }
            },
            auto: {
                ograph: true
            }
        };


        return (
            <div>
                <DocumentMeta {...meta} >
                <h2> Check Server side </h2>
            </div>
        );

    }
}

but how to add them to sever.js

Have you read the README and looked at the examples?

You have to call DocumentMeta.renderAsHTML() and inject the result in your server side rendered HTML.

@arukumar unfortunately it's really difficult. I have been struggling for about one week to make it render on server side using data coming from another server. You should do it using react-redux and react-thunk. place your API call in an action, then call the action in onEnter event of your route, then in call back onEnter event to continue rendering in route dispatch(theAPICallAction()).then(callBackOfOnEnterEvent()).
The API call action should update your redux store, which gives you ability of using received data in your component.
I know It is a little bit complicated, but the result would be amazing
