kpumuk/meta-tags

This system is the MetaTags Ruby gem, a library for managing SEO metadata in Rails applications. It provides a modular architecture for configuring, rendering, and normalizing meta tags, including support for Open Graph and canonical links. The gem ensures compatibility across multiple Rails versions and offers developer tooling such as RBS type signatures, automated setup generators, and security auditing scripts.

5 changes.

The MetaTags gem underwent a significant architectural restructuring, transitioning from a monolithic module to a modular design with dedicated classes for configuration, rendering, and tag handling. This refactoring was accompanied by a comprehensive modernization of the development environment, including the adoption of GitHub Actions, RSpec, and static type checking with Steep. The period also involved updating dependencies to require Ruby 3.0+ and expanding the test suite to ensure the stability of the new modular components.

4 changes.

This period focused on enhancing the project's reliability and developer experience through comprehensive RSpec test coverage for the MetaTags ViewHelper and TextNormalizer classes. It also introduced new bin scripts for lockfile auditing, interactive console access, and project setup, alongside the addition of a signing certificate for secure gem distribution.

5 changes.

This period focused on enhancing the developer experience by introducing a Rails generator for configuration and comprehensive RBS type signatures for static analysis. Concurrently, the project expanded its compatibility matrix to support Rails versions up to 8.1, implementing specific dependency pinning to ensure stability across the evolving framework landscape.

This change introduces a comprehensive set of RBS type signature files for the MetaTags gem, covering the core library, configuration, renderer, controller and view helpers, and internal components like tags and text normalization. These signatures define the public API and internal structures, enabling static type checking with tools like Steep and improving IDE support for developers using the gem.

Users can now run the MetaTags install generator to automatically copy the default configuration initializer into their Rails application, simplifying the setup process for the library.

Added three new executable scripts to the bin directory: bin/audit-lockfiles, bin/console, and bin/setup. The audit-lockfiles script automates security auditing of development lockfiles using bundle-audit, enforcing a strict whitelist of known vulnerabilities (specifically handling exceptions for EOL Rails versions and Nokogiri issues on Ruby 3.1) and rejecting any unlisted advisories. The bin/console script provides a standardized environment for interactive experimentation with the gem, requiring bundler setup and IRB. The bin/setup script automates initial project configuration by running bundle install.

A new public certificate (kpumuk.pem) has been added to the repository to support gem signing. This certificate is valid from September 29, 2025, to September 29, 2026, and is associated with the identity [e-mail redacted], ensuring that future gem releases can be cryptographically signed and verified using this key.

The gemfiles directory now includes dedicated Appraisal configurations for Rails 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, and the Rails edge branch. To ensure stability across these versions, the gemfiles explicitly pin or constrain specific dependencies: \zeitwerk\ is locked to \\~\> 2.6.18\, \minitest\ to \\< 6.0\ (except in Rails 8.0+ where it allows 6.0), and \parallel\ to \\< 2.0\. Rails 6.1 and 7.0 gemfiles additionally require \base64\, \bigdecimal\, \logger\, and \mutex\_m\ as explicit dependencies, while Rails 7.1 and 7.2 gemfiles pin \securerandom\ to \0.3.0\ and constrain \connection\_pool\ and \erb\. Rails 8.0 and 8.1 gemfiles introduce \bundler-audit\ and remove older constraint gems, reflecting the evolving requirements of the Rails framework.

The library has been refactored from a single monolithic module into a modular structure with separate classes for configuration, rendering, and tag handling. A new configuration object allows users to customize gem behavior via \MetaTags.configure\, and the previous controller helper using \alias\_method\_chain\ has been replaced by a modern module inclusion approach. The main entry point now requires the version, configuration, and all component modules, providing a cleaner API for managing meta tags in Rails applications.

This release updates the MetaTags gem to version 2.24.0. The diff shows a complete restructuring of the library's internal architecture, introducing dedicated classes for configuration (\Configuration\), tag rendering (\Tag\, \ContentTag\, \Renderer\), and text normalization (\TextNormalizer\). It also refactors the integration with Rails by moving initialization into a \Railtie\ and separating controller and view helpers. These changes provide a more modular and maintainable codebase while preserving the existing public API for setting and displaying meta tags.

The project has replaced its legacy development setup with modern standards: code style is now enforced by StandardRB (via \.rubocop.yml\) instead of CodeClimate, and the build system has switched from Travis CI to GitHub Actions. RSpec is now the primary test runner (configured via \.rspec\), and static type checking is introduced using Steep and RBS. The default development Ruby version is set to 3.3, and multi-version Rails testing is managed via Appraisals. Additionally, the documentation format has moved from RDoc to YARD (with strict linting via \.yard-lint.yml\), and the repository now includes a Code of Conduct and Security policy.

The library now provides a new default configuration template (\config/initializers/meta\_tags.rb\) that users can generate via the Rails generator. This template documents and sets defaults for key configuration options, including a 300-character limit for page descriptions, boundary-aware array truncation, the ability to add HTML attributes to the title tag, and options to control whether meta tags are self-closing or open. It also includes settings for minifying output, handling natural separators during truncation, and resolving symbolic references in arrays, giving users a comprehensive starting point for customizing SEO metadata behavior.

Added comprehensive RSpec test suite for MetaTags; Added test coverage for text normalization logic; Added test infrastructure for MetaTags gem integration; Comprehensive test coverage for MetaTags ViewHelper.

The gemspec now requires Ruby 3.0.0 or higher and lists all dependencies directly, including a runtime dependency on ActionPack \>= 6.0.0. Development dependencies have been updated to include Steep \~\> 1.10.0, Standard \~\> 1.31, standard-rails \~\> 1.6, and RSpec \~\> 3.13.0, while the Gemfile now delegates dependency management to the gemspec and adds yard-lint \~\> 1.4 for MRI 3.3.
