Support optional documentMeta for each registered route

[mickmister]

This PR makes it so the application can serve dynamic HTML document metadata on any client-side route. This makes it so the app can return open graph data for permalinks in the application.

PR Review: Support optional documentMeta for each registered route

Todo List:

• Read repository CLAUDE.md for guidelines
• Examine all changed files and understand the implementation
• Review code quality and best practices
• Check for potential bugs or issues
• Assess performance considerations
• Evaluate security concerns
• Check test coverage
• Provide comprehensive feedback

Implementation Analysis

The PR adds comprehensive support for dynamic HTML document metadata injection on client-side routes. Here's what I found:

Code Quality and Best Practices

Positive aspects:

• Clean TypeScript interfaces for DocumentMeta and DocumentMetaFunction
• Good separation of concerns with utility functions in dedicated files
• Proper HTML escaping in inject_metadata.ts to prevent XSS
• Comprehensive Open Graph support
• Caching of base HTML for performance

Areas for improvement:

• hono_app.ts:130-201 is quite long and could be extracted into a helper function
• Route matching logic duplicates some patterns that could be abstracted

Potential Bugs and Issues

Critical issue in inject_metadata.ts:86:

modifiedHtml = modifiedHtml.replace(/<\/head>/i, `${metaTagsString}\n  </head>`);

The indentation is inconsistent (2 spaces for </head> vs 4 spaces for meta tags). Should be:

modifiedHtml = modifiedHtml.replace(/<\/head>/i, `${metaTagsString}\n</head>`);

Route matching potential issue:
In hono_app.ts:164-166, the logic for determining full route paths may not handle edge cases properly. Consider adding validation for empty or malformed route paths.

Performance Considerations

Good:

• HTML caching reduces file system reads
• Lazy loading of the node:fs module
• Efficient route matching with early breaks

Concerns:

• Route iteration is O(n*m) where n=modules, m=routes per module
• No caching of resolved metadata for identical requests
• Multiple regex operations per request in inject_metadata.ts

Recommendation: Consider adding a route cache map for frequently accessed paths.

Security Concerns

Well handled:

• HTML escaping prevents XSS attacks
• Proper validation of meta tag keys and values
• No direct user input injection

Minor concern:
The warning() function in match_path.ts:10-19 intentionally throws and catches errors, which could potentially be exploited for DoS if called frequently with invalid patterns.

Test Coverage

Missing: No test files were added for the new functionality. Critical areas needing tests:

1. inject_metadata.ts - HTML injection, escaping, edge cases
2. match_path.ts - Route pattern matching with various patterns
3. Server-side metadata resolution with both static and function-based metadata
4. Integration tests for the full request flow

Additional Observations

Architecture:
The implementation follows good patterns by:

• Keeping metadata concerns separate from routing logic
• Supporting both static and dynamic metadata generation
• Maintaining compatibility with existing route registration

Documentation:
The example in tic_tac_toe.tsx:94-97 provides a clear usage pattern for the new feature.

Overall Assessment

This is a solid implementation that adds valuable SEO capabilities to the framework. The code is well-structured and follows TypeScript best practices. The main concerns are around test coverage and a few minor bugs/performance optimizations.

Recommendations

1. Fix indentation bug in inject_metadata.ts:86
2. Add comprehensive test coverage for all new utilities
3. Consider performance optimization with route/metadata caching
4. Extract the large serveIndexWithMetadata function into a separate module
5. Add input validation for route patterns and metadata values

The PR is ready for merge after addressing the critical indentation issue and adding tests.
