[v1.0.0b] [Task] - Allow Mealie Recipes to be Scraped by Mealie/Others

[hay-kot]

What is the problem this task addresses?

Currently no schema is provided in the Meta Tags according to the schema.org specifications.

Proposed/Possible Solution(s)?

• Write a server-side javascript function to convert Mealie to Schema.org
• Publish that (server-side) on the share pages.

SSR is already implemented so all that really should need to be done is to write the converter and add the proper data to the function on the shared page.

Hey, I wanted to look into this, but it looks like this has already been implemented? At least the RecipePage uses useMeta and that already contains ld+json data that also shows up in the page.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether this should be available without running JavaScript, e.g. the mealie scraper itself doesn't seem to run JavaScript, which is why it can't find this data. Is there a way to tell Nuxt to include this data in the initial HTML page?

SSR should be happening in production but not development. It's a limitation of Nuxt/Vite right now. Hopefully this get's resolved in Nuxt v3

As far as I've tested (and remember), it only partially works. I think the main parts are there, but some debugging and troubleshooting needs to happen to get this working 100%. The main issue is that you need to build the docker image to test since that's the only way to support SSR at the moment.

Workflow is Make Changes -> Build Image -> Test Scraper

To test you can use the recipe-scrapers package and write a small python script to hit your local endpoint.
