See the below examples step by step,

Example 1:

Steps 1 - install NPM commands
npm install react-helmet --save

Use Helmet Tags in your app componet:
import React from "react";
import { Helmet } from "react-helmet";

class Application extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div className="application">
                <Helmet>
                    <meta charSet="utf-8" />
                    <title>Your Title Here..</title>
                    <link rel="canonical" href="https://code-sample.com/example" />
                    <meta property="og:site_name" content="code sample" />
                    <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
                    <meta name="twitter:domain" content="code-sample.com" />
                    <meta name="twitter:title" property="og:title" itemprop="name" 
                    content="react helmet meta tag dynamically." />
                    <meta name="twitter:description" 
                    property="og:description" 
                    itemprop="description" 
                    content="I am trying to explain how to create meta tag from 
                    awebsite dynamically using react-helmet" />
                </Helmet>
                ...
        </div>
        );
    }
};

Nested or other components will override duplicate changes:
<Parent>
    <Helmet>
        <title>My Title</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Your Helmet description" />
        <meta property="og:site_name" content="code sample" />
        <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
        <meta name="twitter:domain" content="code-sample.com" />
        <meta name="twitter:title" property="og:title" itemprop="name" 
        content="react helmet meta tag dynamically." />
        <meta name="twitter:description" property="og:description" 
        itemprop="description" 
        content="I am trying to explain how to create meta tag from awebsite 
        dynamically using react-helmet" />
    </Helmet>
    <Child>
        <Helmet>
            <title>Nested Title</title>
            <meta name="description" content="Your Nested component description" />
        </Helmet>
    </Child>
</Parent>

The outputs look like:

<head>
    <title>Nested Title</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Your Nested component description">
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="code sample" />
    <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
    <meta name="twitter:domain" content="code-sample.com" />
    <meta name="twitter:title" property="og:title" itemprop="name" 
    content="react helmet meta tag dynamically." />
    <meta name="twitter:description" property="og:description" itemprop="description" 
    content="I am trying to explain how to create meta tag from awebsite 
    dynamically using react-helmet" />
</head>

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...

Why doesn't App Module exist in Angular 17?

Today, I just started exploring Angular version 17 using ng new and found a problem for the newly created project using the command - ng new. The problem is: Path "/src/app/app.module.ts" does not exist while doing ng add in the Angular project. The ‘ng new’ does not generate app.module.ts in the src root folder Angular CLI 17.0.0. From Angular 17 onwards, standalone is now the new default for the CLI . So when we create a new project ‘ app.module.ts ’ file will not create Path " /src/app/app.module.ts ". Run the following command to create the new project including the file ‘app.module.ts’ in your project: ng new AngularMap  --no-standalone Note: Here ‘AngularMap’ is the project name I created. Standalone components are a feature introduced in Angular version 14. Now the changes applied in angular 17 default, the Angular team strongly recommends using them as they are easier to use, and understand.

The SOLID Principles are the design principles that enable us to manage several software design problems. These principles provide us with ways to move from tightly coupled code to loosely coupled and encapsulated real business needs properly. Also readable, adaptable, and scalable code. The SOLID Principles  guide developers as they write readable, adaptable, and scalable code or design an application. The SOLID Principles can be applied to any OOP program.
