Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To aHoisting!

To add meta tags in react js, you can use <meta/>. It will add meta tags in react js.

Today, I am going to show you, how to add meta tags in react js.

Import react component.
Create a Component.

Let’s start with the first step.

Step 1: Install and create a new React app.

First you have to install the React project. You should use create-react-app command to create a new React project.

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Step 2: Import react component.

After installing, you have to import your React component.

import React from 'react';
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet';

Step 3: Create a Component.

You can use <meta/> to add meta tags in react js.

<Helmet>
  <title>My Page Title</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <meta name="description" content="aHoisting"/>
    <meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, JavaScript"/>
    <meta name="author" content="swikriti"/>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
</Helmet>

Add meta tags example.

The below code is an example of a React. You have to import 'react-helmet' and set <meta/> to add meta tags in react js.

App.js

import React from 'react';
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Helmet>
        <title>My Page Title</title>
        <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
        <meta name="description" content="aHoisting"/>
        <meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, JavaScript"/>
        <meta name="author" content="swikriti"/>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
      </Helmet>
      <h1>aHoisting</h1>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;

In the above code example, I have used the <meta/> tag to add meta tags in react js.

Check the output of the above code.

All the best 👍
