Support creator & site tags for Twitter

AndreasGalster opened this issue · 3 comments

Twitter has a useful feature called creator and tags, which lets you define which account is associated with the twitter card. Perhaps you'd want to add support for this :)?

For reference, see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/optimize-with-cards/overview/markup

Do you mean this?

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@username">

If so, the twitter account probably doesn't change across pages, so you only need to declare it once, in the <head> of your page, and don't need to dynamically update it, which is what the updateMetadata function does

Valid point, closing this :).

Although there's still cases where you would define dynamic tags, for sites that generate different tags because they belong to different authorities, think WordPress, slack, other publicly available SaaS, etc.

If there's some specific tags you're thinking of, please let me know! I am not a metadata expert, so I genuinely don't know any other than the ones we added. I'm not opposed to adding more useful ones at all! :)
