If you are serving your React bundle from a server, you can dynamically generate meta tags on the server.
Essentially, in your public/index.html file you want to replace the metadata with an identifiable string:
<!-- in public/index.html -->
<title>$OG_TITLE</title>
<meta name="description" content="$OG_DESCRIPTION" />
<meta property="og:title" content="$OG_TITLE" />
<meta property="og:description" content="$OG_DESCRIPTION" />
<meta property="og:image" content="$OG_IMAGE" />
And then on the server, you want to replace these strings with the dynamically generated information. Here is an example route with Node and Express:
app.get('/about', function(request, response) {
console.log('About page visited!');
const filePath = path.resolve(__dirname, './build', 'index.html')
fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', function (err,data) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
data = data.replace(/\$OG_TITLE/g, 'About Page');
data = data.replace(/\$OG_DESCRIPTION/g, "About page description");
result = data.replace(/\$OG_IMAGE/g, 'https://i.imgur.com/V7irMl8.png');
response.send(result);
});
});
