Using Google Adsense in a Preact-CLI project

See original GitHub issue

Hi guys!

I have an issue and I’ve spent A LOT OF TIME trying to solve this. I am trying to add the Google Adsense code to my project. My status stays stuck at: “Your site needs work”. The additional information explains that Google can’t find the code. Eventhough I’ve added it (in multiple ways).

What I’ve found out is that everytime this code: <script data-ad-client="ca-pub-#####" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

gets transformed to this code: <script data-ad-client="ca-pub-#####" async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" data-checked-head="true"></script>

This is how I’m trying to add the code:

Option 1: In my app.js file

componentDidMount() {
        //SetAdsense
        let script = document.createElement('script');
        script.setAttribute('data-ad-client','ca-pub-########' );
        script.setAttribute('async');
        script.src = "https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js";           
        document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}

Option 2: Using Helmet

<Helmet>
                <script data-ad-client="ca-pub-#####" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
</Helmet>

Any idea how I can make Google see the provided Adsense code in my Head?

(we discussed elsewhere but I’ll echo here for others)

In 2.2.1, the --template argument was relative to the src directory. Here’s how to use it:

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "preact watch --template template.html",
    "build": "preact build --template template.html"
  }
}

src/template.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title><%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %></title>
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
		<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
		<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
		<link rel="manifest" href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.publicPath %>manifest.json">
		<% if (htmlWebpackPlugin.options.manifest.theme_color) { %>
			<meta name="theme-color" content="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.manifest.theme_color %>">
		<% } %>
		<% for (var chunk of webpack.chunks) { %>
		 <% if (chunk.names.length === 1 && chunk.names[0] === 'polyfills') continue; %>
			<% for (var file of chunk.files) { %>
				<% if (htmlWebpackPlugin.options.preload && file.match(/\.(js|css)$/)) { %>
					<link rel="preload" href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.publicPath + file %>" as="<%= file.match(/\.css$/)?'style':'script' %>">
				<% } else if (file.match(/manifest\.json$/)) { %>
					<link rel="manifest" href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.publicPath + file %>">
				<% } %>
			<% } %>
		<% } %>
	</head>
	<body>
		<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.ssr({
			url: '/'
		}) %>
		<script defer src="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.chunks['bundle'].entry %>"></script>
		<script>window.fetch||document.write('<script src="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.chunks["polyfills"].entry %>"><\/script>')</script>
	</body>
</html>

https://github.com/preactjs-templates/netlify/blob/master/template/src/template.html If you update to preact-cli v3 it should generate the template in your project dir you can insert stuff into
