Django Structured Data

Django template tags that turn a single JSON-LD dict into rich metadata: JSON-LD script blocks, Open Graph tags, HTML meta tags, and Twitter Cards.

Install

1. Add "structured_data" to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'structured_data',
]

Quick Start

Define structured data on a model

@property
def structured_data(self):
    return {
        '@type': 'BlogPosting',
        'headline': self.title,
        'description': self.summary,
        'author': {'@type': 'Person', 'name': self.author.name},
        'datePublished': self.created,
        'url': SITE_URL + self.get_absolute_url(),
        'image': {
            'url': SITE_URL + self.image.url,
            'width': 1200,
            'height': 630,
        },
    }

Render in templates

{% load jsonld opengraph meta twitter %}

{% json_ld_for post %}
{% og_for post %}
{% meta_for post %}
{% twitter_for post %}

All four tags accept either an object with a structured_data property or a plain dict.

Features

• Template Tags: JSON-LD, Open Graph, HTML meta, and Twitter Card output with automatic property mapping and dict passthrough
• View Mixin: StructuredDataMixin injects structured data into template context from any class-based view
• Sitewide Tags: Render sitewide metadata from Django settings
