Follow this guide to make your NodeJS translated website SEO-friendly, and work with optimal performance. 

  • This guide is aimed for Express.js servers. If you are using a different framework in NodeJS, contact [email protected]

1. Install the Bablic npm package

npm install --save bablic

2. Add Bablic middleware to your app.js file:


Javascript:

const {create} = require("bablic");
app.use(create({
   siteId: '[your site id]',
   rootUrl: 'http://[root url of your site]',
   subDir: true, // if you want to use sub dir for languages like /es/ /fr/
   }));
   
app.get('/',function(req,res) {
   console.log('the current language for the user is',req.bablic.locale);
   res.render('index.ejs',{});
});

Typescript:

import {create} from "bablic";
app.use(create({
   siteId: '[your site id]',
   rootUrl: 'http://[root url of your site]',
   subDir: true, // if you want to use sub dir for languages like /es/ /fr/
}));

3. Add the snippet to your layout html template to make sure your snippet is always updated and performs optimally: (This example uses EJS templates, but the bablic local can be used in any rendering language)

<html>
   <head>
      <%- bablic.snippetTop %>
   </head>
   <body>
      <%- body %>
    </body>
</html>

Sub-Directories

To enable sub-directories simply use set "subdir" as true, to the Bablic middle-ware.

That's it. You can go on and click "Verify" on your Bablic SEO Configuration Wizard and complete the integration.
