## `spiderable`
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `spiderable` package is a temporary solution to allow web search engines to
|
|
index a Meteor application. It uses the [AJAX Crawling
|
|
specification](https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/)
|
|
published by Google to serve HTML to compatible spiders (Google, Bing, Yandex,
|
|
and more).
|
|
|
|
When a spider requests an HTML snapshot of a page the Meteor server runs the
|
|
client half of the application inside [phantomjs](http://phantomjs.org/), a
|
|
headless browser, and returns the full HTML generated by the client code.
|
|
|
|
{{#warning}}
|
|
This is a temporary approach to allow Meteor applications to be
|
|
searchable. Expect significant changes to this package.
|
|
{{/warning}}
|
|
|
|
In order to have links between multiple pages on a site visible to spiders, apps
|
|
must use real links (eg `<a href="/about">`) rather than simply re-rendering
|
|
portions of the page when an element is clicked. Apps should render their
|
|
content based on the URL of the page and can use [HTML5
|
|
pushState](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history)
|
|
to alter the URL on the client without triggering a page reload. See the [Todos
|
|
example](http://meteor.com/examples/todos) for a demonstration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{#warning}}
|
|
If you deploy your application with `meteor bundle`, you must install
|
|
`phantomjs` ([http://phantomjs.org](http://phantomjs.org/)) somewhere in your
|
|
`$PATH`. If you use `meteor deploy` this is already taken care of.
