Hi there,
So I am trying to incorporate a custom metadata tag like this:
In Next 13 using the App directory. I am struggling since this meta tag needs to have a property and content.
However when looking around online the online option I could find on adding custom metadata was using the other: {
// Content
}
So I tried it like this
But this results in a name= instead of property=
Any idea on how I can achieve adding a metadata with property=

Try simply adding that tag to the page. I think react will automatically hoist it to <head>

I didn't know that was possible. It resolved the issue, thanks.

be careful though that it could break at any time, since it's not covered by semver. after each nextjs updates please check if it's still working properly – if you have a testing system please add a test case for this
