meta-setter

MetaSetter

Easily and dynamically update document meta tags in clientside applications.

The Singleton pattern

Whenever you require('meta-setter') it will return the same javascript object in all spots. This is known as the Singleton pattern.

Why is this useful?

The MetaSetter object is a simple singleton object that has 3 methods: init, updateMetaTags, and Reset. MetaSetter is extremely useful in client side applications, especially when attaching it to a typical Global App Object App.metaSetter = require('meta-setter') that is usually required in other parts of the application. When required you can easily update the document meta tags by simply passing in a spec object, typically a derived property from a model in the application or an object created on the fly and passed through to the updateMetaTags method on 'static' pages within the application. App.metaSetter.updateMetaTags({});

install
