## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Add Middleware
|
||||
### Automatic parsing of JSON-LD
|
||||
|
||||
Add the middleware to your Django project's `MIDDLEWARE` setting in `settings.py`:
|
||||
To enable automatic parsing of JSON-LD, add the following middleware classes to your Django project's MIDDLEWARE setting in settings.py:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
MIDDLEWARE = [
|
||||
...,
|
||||
'django_signposting.middleware.SignpostingMiddleware',
|
||||
'django_signposting.middleware.JsonLdSignpostingParserMiddleware',
|
||||
...,
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This setup allows django_signposting to extract JSON-LD embedded in HTML `<script type="application/ld+json">` tags
|
||||
and add the corresponding signposting headers.
|
||||
It’s compatible with tools that provide JSON-LD, such as [django-json-ld](https://pypi.org/project/django-json-ld/).
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: The middleware order is important! Place `SignpostingMiddleware` before `JsonLdSignpostingParserMiddleware` to ensure proper extraction and processing of JSON-LD content.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual signposting
|
||||
|
||||
For cases where JSON-LD is not embedded, or you want to specify headers manually, you can use the `add_signposts` utility.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add Middleware**: Add the `SignpostingMiddleware` to your Django project's `MIDDLEWARE` setting in `settings.py`:
