Migration Guide

• noindex and nofollow properties have been removed. They can be controlled by using the robots property instead.

v2.x

<MetaTags noindex={true} nofollow={true} />

v3

<MetaTags robots="noindex,nofollow" />

• googlebot is no longer included by default, so if you want to continue to enable the googlebot, write the following.

<MetaTags
  additionalMetaTags={[
    {
      name: 'googlebot',
      content: 'index,follow'
    }
  ]}
/>

• <meta name="robots"> element can now be disabled completely.

<MetaTags
  robots={false}
/>

If you want to disable <meta name="robots"> and enable only <meta name="googlebot">, write the following.

<MetaTags
  robots={false}
  additionalMetaTags={[
    {
      name: 'googlebot',
      content: 'index,follow'
    }
  ]}
/>

• robotsProps property has been renamed additionalRobotsProps.

v2.x

<MetaTags
  robotsProps={{
    nosnippet: true,
    notranslate: true,
    noimageindex: true,
    noarchive: true,
    maxSnippet: -1,
    maxImagePreview: 'none',
    maxVideoPreview: -1
  }}
/>

v3

<MetaTags
  additionalRobotsProps={{
    nosnippet: true,
    notranslate: true,
    noimageindex: true,
    noarchive: true,
    maxSnippet: -1,
    maxImagePreview: 'none',
    maxVideoPreview: -1
  }}
/>

• openGraph.site_name has been renamed to openGraph.siteName.

Reasons:

1. because site_name will be removed and siteName will be adopted in the next major version of next-seo.
2. since only site_name had adopted the snake case, its interface was aligned with other properties.

v2.x

<MetaTags
  openGraph={{
    site_name: 'SiteName'
  }}
/>

v3

<MetaTags
  openGraph={{
    siteName: 'SiteName'
  }}
/>

@oekazuma
How about also adding a way to allow only googlebot tag to be set?
I think there is a demand for such.

@watanabemasahiro128
I am working on it, but will be able to enable only googlebot by writing the following.
#789

<MetaTags
  robots={false}
  additionalMetaTags={[
    {
      name: 'googlebot',
      content: 'index,follow'
    }
  ]}
/>

Thank you.

What was the motivation behind moving from snake_case to camalCase?

[oekazuma]

@OllieJT

1. because site_name will be removed and siteName will be adopted in the next major version of next-seo.
2. since only site_name had adopted the snake case, its interface was aligned with other properties.

1. because site_name will be removed and siteName will be adopted in the next major version of next-seo.

Are we following the development of next-seo?

[oekazuma]

It does not completely follow next-seo, but it is at least a major SEO library.

I believe the move from React to Svelte should be welcomed.

I think this change is reasonable and I only mention it as one reason
