Open Graph (OG) Image Generation

Open Graph images can be used to display previews of pages when shared on social media sites such as Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. Analog supports generating Open Graph images using API Routes.

Setup​

First, install the necessary satori dependencies:

npm install satori satori-html sharp --save

Setting Up An API Route​

Next, define an API route in the src/server/routes directory.

// src/server/routes/v1/og-images.ts
import { ImageResponse } from '@analogjs/content/og';

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const fontFile = await fetch(
    'https://og-playground.vercel.app/inter-latin-ext-700-normal.woff'
  );
  const fontData: ArrayBuffer = await fontFile.arrayBuffer();
  const query = getQuery(event); // query params

  const template = `
    <div tw="bg-gray-50 flex w-full h-full items-center justify-center">
        <div tw="flex flex-col md:flex-row w-full py-12 px-4 md:items-center justify-between p-8">
          <h2 tw="flex flex-col text-3xl sm:text-4xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900 text-left">
            <span>${query['title'] ? `${query['title']}` : 'Hello World'}</span>
          </h2>
        </div>
      </div>    
  `;

  return new ImageResponse(template, {
    debug: true, // disable caching
    fonts: [
      {
        name: 'Inter Latin',
        data: fontData,
        style: 'normal',
      },
    ],
  });
});
  • The API route uses the ImageResponse class from the @analogjs/content/og sub-package.
  • Provide HTML that is rendered to a png.
  • Tailwind class are supported, and optional.

Adding Open Graph Metadata​

Open Graph images are registered through meta tags inside the HTML head tag.

<html>
  <head>
    <meta
      property="og:image"
      content="https://your-url.com/api/v1/og-images?title=Developer"
    />
    <meta
      name="twitter:image"
      content="https://your-url.com/api/v1/og-images?title=Developer"
      key="twitter:image"
    />
    ...
  </head>
</html>

The meta tags can be set manually in the index.html or dynamically using Route Metadata
