ESLint VS next-seo

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

ESLint: A pluggable and configurable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript.

ESLint

1. Lack of Static Code Analysis Static code analysis tools like TypeScript and ESLint play a crucial role in identifying and preventing bugs. TypeScript provides static typing, enhancing the robustness of the code. ESLint detects issues and enforces coding standards. The absence of these tools can significantly elevate the likelihood of bugs due to the lack of early detection and guidance provided during development.

The industry standard for JavaScript is ESLint. VS Code has an ESLint extension. Here is a guide.

All modern linters incorporate functionality for extending configurations, although the syntax for this is often implemented differently. Taking ESLint as an example, in its latest versions, the primary extension method is through the use of the spread operator. Let's take a look at an example:

The third one is Schema.org JSON-LD. I actually question the usefulness of this feature, but if it is relatively easy to implement without a glaring downside, just give it a shot I guess? In Next.js, there is next-seo package that greatly simplifies the implementation of Schema.org JSON-LD.

Next Seo GitHub Repository

I would recommend checking out https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo. It does SEO for you. Additionally, going to recommend precisely what u/saarnav mentioned. https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation

Any opinions on https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo ?

To simplify this, we can use a package called next-seo. Next SEO makes managing SEO easier in your Next.js projects.

For SEO there is next-seo.

Meta tags exist in the head element of the page providing important information about the page that can used by search engines and social media sites. There are a variety of meta tags that represent different types of information for different search engines. A popular subset of standardized meta tags are described in the open graph protocol. Managing these tags for every page and generating them dynamically for blog pages has it’s own overhead. Thus for that reason, I have used the Next-SEO plugin. The Next-SEO plugin provides DefaultSEO component that contains tags that will be defined for all routes by default which subsequently can be overwritten at a page level by then using the NextSEO component. Below is the default SEO config used by me.

I have also used this package to make the SEO tag section easier to manage: https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo

We will have to populate SEO-related meta tags with the relevant information for each page. To do so, we will use garmeeh/next-seo.
