Function: createMetadata()

createMetadata(partialMetadata?): Readonly<Metadata>

Defined in: metadata.ts:394

Creates page-specific metadata by merging with base configuration.

Parameters

partialMetadata?

PartialMetadata = {}

Optional page-specific metadata overrides

Returns

Readonly<Metadata>

Complete metadata object with base configuration merged with overrides

Remarks

Usage Pattern: Call this function in page-level generateMetadata or static metadata exports to create page-specific SEO metadata that inherits from the base configuration.

Merge Behavior:

• Base metadata properties are inherited
• Partial metadata properties override base properties
• title and description automatically populate OpenGraph and Twitter metadata
• locale determines OpenGraph locale and alternate locale mapping

Locale Mapping:

• en → en_US (OpenGraph locale)
• ro → ro_RO (OpenGraph locale)
• Unknown locales default to en_US

Type Safety: Returns readonly metadata to prevent accidental mutations.

Examples

// In a page component
export const metadata = createMetadata({
  title: "Invoice Dashboard",
  description: "View and manage your invoices",
  locale: "en",
  openGraph: {
    images: [{ url: "/og-invoice.png" }],
  },
});

// Dynamic metadata generation
export async function generateMetadata({ params }): Promise<Metadata> {
  const invoice = await fetchInvoice(params.id);
  return createMetadata({
    title: `Invoice ${invoice.name}`,
    description: `Invoice details for ${invoice.merchantName}`,
  });
}
