React-helmet: Support itemprop

Created on 11 Mar 2016 · 13Comments · Source: nfl/react-helmet

Rich snippets use itemprop tags. To take full advantage of rich snippet schemas you also need to update the html tag of the document with to point to the schema.

Can we add support for this use case? It's important for SEO.

@dattran92 We just came across this at work and seem to be blocked by this. Any chance that you can push this through?

We can consider this. We are starting to add html attributes with #110

1 I am using react-helmet in an app right now being pushed to production soon, and would really like to have itemprop for SEO reasons

With the lastest Helmet release (3.0.0 just released) you can now use JSON-LD. @gerardmrk will that fit your needs in the interim?

@clayne11 Will JSON-LD support suffice, or do you still require itemprop support? And if you still need it, what would that fully entail (I could use an example or two, thank you)?

About the 'itemprop' attribute in title tag:

It's a requirement of my company's SEO specialist. So I think others may also need it.

@dattran92 - In that link you sent it mentions JSON-LD as another option for title (which we support already). So, maybe spend your effort on meta only. Unless that won't work for your title case for some reason.

@cwelch5 - That's the requirement from my company's SEO specialist. So I have to implement it and I think that others may also need it.
I'm not sure about JSON-LD. So why don't we just give people the two options? (JSON-LD or just put more attributes to meta and title tag).
I don't know if you want it in your project. Therefore, I ask first before sending you a pull request. So just let me know if you're OK with it.

@dattran92 - Thanks for asking, yes, we would like as robust an API as possible. So if there is a spec and a need for it, we'd like to include it. We welcome a PR. Thanks.

Is this feature still something that is being considered? If so, I would like to work on implementing it. I have been using this library in my latest project and am in need of the itemProp support for meta tags as well. I don't have need of the title tag supporting it, but would be happy to implement that as well if there's a need for it.

Implemented already but no one accept my merge request.

I have agreed already but don't know why it didn't update in the pull request.
