Default Metatags aren't outputted in JSON:API

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 31 August 2023, about 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

When using "Metatag defaults", these values are not being outputted to the metatag array when getting data through JSON:API.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install JSON:API core module (+ configure so you can access node info via JSON:API)
  2. Install Metatag module
  3. Add a Metatag field (field_metadata) to the "Basic Page" content type (so metadata can be overridden on a node)
  4. Create a new Metatag defaults set for "Content: Basic Page"
  5. Set the "Title" tag to any value
  6. Create a new "Basic Page", leaving the Metatag info empty (defaults)
  7. Notice that in JSON:API, the metatag value results in an empty array
  8. Go and edit or create a new node, populating values for "title" metatag
  9. Notice that in JSON:API, the metatag value is populated

Proposed resolution

If metatag values are not overridden by an entity, the defined "Metatag defaults" for that entity should appear in JSON:API metatag array.

Previously this was working for me using Metatag 1.22 with this patch → , but moving to Metatag 2.0 seems to no longer work.

Potentially a separate issue: I'm also noticing that Metatag defaults don't pre-populate those default values on Node forms anymore. Used to pre-populate in 1.x (potentially related to #1798984)

    Y'know, this might be a non-issue.
    I uninstalled and re-installed the metatag module with the default configuration, and everything is working a-okay now.

    Not totally sure what happened in my installation, but glad that it seems to be working now!

    Gonna go ahead and close this.
