OG Images for Ruby on Rails
Create an image once and reuse its public URL in your page metadata.
Render a small ERB partial in your Rails layout's head, passing the post's saved image URL as a local. Rails tag helpers escape the metadata attributes for you.
Quick Start
1. Create and save your image URL
Get a private API key through email access and set OGMAGIC_API_KEY in your server or terminal environment. Run this request when publishing content, then save the returned url with the page:
curl https://www.ogmagic.dev/api/images \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OGMAGIC_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"My article","template":"gradient-mesh"}'
# Save the returned url with your content. Keep the API key private.You can also create an image in the editor and copy its hosted URL. Keep the API key private; the returned image URL is public.
2. Publish it in your Ruby on Rails metadata
Use your saved URL in the example below. Replace any placeholder URL with the creation response's url, or pass it from the stored content field. The dimensions shown are for the default 1200 × 630 image; use the returned dimensions for custom sizes.
<%= tag.meta name: "description", content: description %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:title", content: title %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:description", content: description %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:type", content: "article" %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:image", content: og_image_url %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:image:width", content: "1200" %>
<%= tag.meta property: "og:image:height", content: "630" %>
<%= tag.meta name: "twitter:card", content: "summary_large_image" %>
<%= tag.meta name: "twitter:image", content: og_image_url %>💡 Render with locals, for example render "shared/social_meta", title: @post.title, description: @post.excerpt, og_image_url: @post.og_image_url. Save the URL in a publishing action or Active Job; the view should only read it. Use tag helpers instead of interpolating raw HTML.
Reference: Ruby on Rails documentation. After deploying, check the page with the OG tag checker.
