Usage

1. Setup gatsby-config

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: `gatsby-plugin-satorare`,
    options: {
      path: `${__dirname}/src/components/OgImage.tsx`,
      width: 1200,
      height: 630,
      fonts: [
        {
          name: `FavoriteFont`,
          path: `${__dirname}/src/assets/favorite_font.otf`,
        },
      ],
      graphemeImages: {
        '🤯': 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/svg/1f92f.svg',
      },
      target_nodes: ['Site', 'MarkdownRemark']
    }
  },
]
option type description default
path string Path to JSX/TSX file fot OG image. This option is required.
width number Width of og image. Default value 1200
height number Height of og image. 630
fonts {name: string, path: string, weight?: number, style?: string, lang?: string}[] Path to font used in OG image. Noto Sans Japanese(Regular400)
graphemeImages {[key: string]: string} Image sources for specific graphemes. See details here. {}
target_nodes string[] Node type for the source of OG image. [‘Site’, ‘MarkdownRemark’]

2. Create OG file with JSX/TSX

The following frontmatter is assumed.

---
title: "Hello World"
tags: ["Gatsby", "og:image"]
---

Export a default function that returns an ReactElement as follows. You can get node of the type specified in target_nodes in config options from argument.

vercel’s Playground is useful to create OG images while previewing the generated image.

// ./src/components/OgImage.tsx
import { Node } from 'gatsby'

type Frontmatter = {
  title: string
  tags: string[]
}

export default function(node: Node) {
  if (node.internal.type === 'MarkdownRemark') {
    const frontmatter = node.frontmatter as Frontmatter
    const title = frontmatter.title
    const tags = frontmatter.tags

    return (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          padding: 48,
          height: '100%',
          backgroundColor: '#2e3440',
        }}
      >
        <div
          style={{
            height: '100%',
            width: '100%',
            display: 'flex',
            justifyContent: 'space-between',
            flexDirection: 'column',
            backgroundColor: 'white',
            color: '#000000d1',
            padding: 48,
            borderRadius: 12,
          }}
        >
          <div
            style={{
              display: 'flex',
              flexDirection: 'column',
            }}
          >
            <div style={{ fontSize: 64, maxWidth: 1000, fontWeight: 600 }}>{title}</div>
            <div style={{ display: 'flex', flexWrap: 'wrap', alignItems: 'center', marginTop: 16, gap: 16 }}>
              {tags.map((tag, i) => (
                <div
                  key={i}
                  style={{
                    fontSize: 32,
                    fontWeight: 400,
                    backgroundColor: 'rgb(229,231,235)',
                    padding: '8px 24px',
                    borderRadius: 200,
                  }}
                >
                  {tag}
                </div>
              ))}
            </div>
          </div>
          <div style={{ display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'space-between', marginTop: 16 }}>
            <div style={{ fontSize: 48, fontWeight: 400, display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center' }}>
              <img
                src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/44517313?v=4"
                width={72}
                height={72}
                style={{ borderRadius: '50%', marginRight: 16 }}
              />
              okaryo
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    )
  } else {
    return (
      <div>Default OG image</div>
    )
  }
}

3. Read OG Image path from query

// query
`
query MyQuery($id: String!) {
  markdownRemarkOgImage(parent: {id: {eq: $id}}) {
    attributes {
      publicURL
    }
  }
  siteOgImage {
    attributes {
      publicURL
    }
  }
}
`

// result
{
  "data": {
    "markdownRemarkOgImage": {
      "attributes": {
        "publicURL": "/static/8d5a6b2a951985acb20f041bf8f52e61/8d5a6b2a951985acb20f041bf8f52e61.png"
      }
    },
    "siteOgImage": {
      "attributes": {
        "publicURL": "/static/1d3db0d32c1e9ff61a30f15b2b9b6a2d/1d3db0d32c1e9ff61a30f15b2b9b6a2d.png"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Set meta tag

const yourSite = 'https://example.com'

return (
  <>
    {/* other meta tags */}
    <meta property='og:image' content={`${yourSite}${data.markdownRemarkOgImage.attributes.publicURL}`} />
    {/* other meta tags */}
  <>
)

5. Finished!
