Customise or remove the "_generator_" meta tag on your Gatsby site.
Customise or remove the "generator" meta tag on your Gatsby site.
When Gatsby builds your site it will auto-inject a <meta> tag in the <head> of your site indicating the Gatsby version used to build your site. For example:
<meta name="generator" content="Gatsby 2.13.2" />
This is too much detail for my personal preference, and also has potential security implications.
Note: The generator tag is only injected during a production build, and so this plugin will only have an effect on the production output.
To add this plugin to your Gatsby setup, simply install using yarn/npm
yarn add gatsby-plugin-remove-generator
and add to your config file:
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
'gatsby-plugin-remove-generator',
]
};
You can overwrite some of the plugin's default behaviour by passing supported options:
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-remove-generator',
options: {
// Only remove the Gatsby version number instead of the whole node
removeVersionOnly: true,
// Customise the generator string altogether.
// Note: This has the highest precedence of the available options.
content: 'Custom string'
},
]
};
