An Eleventy shortcode that generates document metadata containing: Open Graph, Twitter card, generic meta tags and a canonical link.
In your Eleventy project, install the plugin from npm:
npm install eleventy-plugin-metagen
Then add it to your Eleventy Config file:
const metagen = require('eleventy-plugin-metagen');
module.exports = (eleventyConfig) => {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(metagen);
};
The plugin turns 11ty shortcodes like this:
{% metagen
title="Eleventy Plugin Meta Generator",
desc="An eleventy shortcode for generating meta tags.",

twitter_card_type="summary_large_image",
twitter_handle="tannerdolby",

into <meta>
tags and other document metadata like this:

For a baseline social share functionality, providing all of the comma separated arguments to metagen
shown in the example usage above is recommended. If you want to add more tags not listed in the example, have a look at the plugin docs. You might only need a few <meta>
tags instead of the whole set, simply provide the arguments you need and the ones not included won't generate <meta>
tags.
Besides the default generated <meta>
tags, only the arguments you provide data for will be generated as <meta>
tags. This allows you to include some of your own tags alongside metagen
if you need. Template variables can be used in the Nunjucks and Liquid shortcode arguments without the curly braces or quotes like title=page.url
(Nunjucks) or title
(Liquid). See the eleventy-plugin-metagen documentation for more details on plugin usage.
To make your metadata dynamic, you can use template data as arguments to the shortcode, without quotes or braces:
---
title: Some title
desc: Some description
metadata:
title: Some other title
desc: Some other description
url: https://tannerdolby.com
image: https://tannerdolby.com/images/arch-spiral-large.jpg
alt: Archimedean spiral
type: summary_large_image
twitter: tannerdolby
name: Tanner Dolby
---
{% metagen
title=title or metadata.title,
desc=desc or metadata.desc,
url=url + page.url,
img=image,
img_alt=alt,
twitter_card_type=type,
twitter_handle=twitter,
name=name
%}
Most all of the <meta>
tags found in the documentation below are supported by this plugin. If there is a <meta>
tag that you need and isn't supported, feel free to open an issue so we can get it added. See metagen docs for more information about this plugin.
