When creating web applications, we all try to create good SEO tags in the header of each page. Modifying the meta tags based on page content is a standard practice. In Blazor, this is not obvious as the _host.cshtml is rendered before the Blazor execution pipeline.
There was a tag extension in the preview of Blazor 5 which didn’t make it into the release and there are no news if this is continued or not (just a note from a program manager that this didn’t make it into the release) … so I guess this will be solved across the board in next release …. ? 🙂
Fortunately we have Toolbelt.Blazor.HeadElement (https://github.com/jsakamoto/Toolbelt.Blazor.HeadElement/)
This works nicely if you make sure to use server prerendering as explained in the documentation. The default setup options result in (at least) the Facebook screen scraping does not collect the updated title and meta elements, but only the original ones (which are the site static default ones).
This is all fixed with ….
app.UseHeadElementServerPrerendering();
…. as described in the documentation. Check out: https://golf80.com/Rounds/33957
