SeoJs

SEO for apps made easy

Requirements

You will need PhantomJS to make this work, as it will render the application to HTML.

Modifying your static HTML

Just add this to your <head> to enable AJAX indexing by the crawlers.

    <meta name="fragment" content="!" />

EmberJs

Just add this to your didInsertElement the event to view in ApplicationView

var App.ApplicationView = Ember.View.extend({
  didInsertElement: function() {
    var evt = document.createEvent('Event');
    evt.initEvent('_htmlReady', true, true);
    document.dispatchEvent(evt);
  }
});

AngularJS Module

Just include ajax-seo.js and then add the seo module to you app:

angular.module('app', ['ng', 'seo']);

Then you must call $scope.htmlReady() when you think the page is complete. This is nescessary because of the async nature of AngularJS (such as with AJAX calls).

function MyCtrl($scope) {
    Items.query({}, function(items) {
        $scope.items = items;
        $scope.htmlReady();
    });
}

And that's all there is to do on the app side.

PhantomJS Module

For the app to be properly rendered, you will need to run the seo-server-phantom.js with PhantomJS. Make sure to disable caching:

$ phantomjs --disk-cache=no seo-server-phantom.js [port] [URL prefix] [no Escape]

URL prefix is the URL that will be prepended to the path the crawlers will try to get.

Some examples:

$ phantomjs --disk-cache=no seo-server-phantom.js 8888 http://localhost:3000
$ phantomjs --disk-cache=no seo-server-phantom.js 8888 file:///full/path/to/index.html

Testing

So say you app is running on http://localhost:3000/ (works with file:// URLs too). First, run PhantomJS:

With Escaped Fragment

Google and Bing replace #! (hashbang) with ?_escaped_fragment_= so htttp://localhost/#!/profile becomes htttp://localhost/?_escaped_fragment_=/profile.

$ phantomjs --disk-cache=no seo-server-phantom.js 8888 http://localhost:3000/
Listening on 8888 OS: mac 10.8 (Mountain Lion) 32bit
Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Then try with cURL:

$ curl 'http://localhost:8888/?_escaped_fragment_=/profile'

Then try with Browser:

$ open 'http://localhost:8888/?_escaped_fragment_=/profile'

Without Escaped Fragment

$ phantomjs --disk-cache=no seo-server-phantom.js 8888 http://localhost:3000/ --no-scape
Listening on 8888 OS: mac 10.8 (Mountain Lion) 32bit
Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Then try with cURL:

$ curl 'http://localhost:8888/profile'

Then try with Browser:

$ open 'http://localhost:8888/profile'
