Build-time OpenGraph image generation

[oscartbeaumont]

I'm working on a project with Solid Start and I would like to use the OG package for generating open-graph images.

Due to the fact that my UI communicates with an separate API and the functionality is heavily client side I do a client-only build of the application without SSR. This means in production I don't have access to call server functions such as /_server.

This means that the opengraph image tag doesn't actually work as it currently expects to have the server function available.

For my usecase I don't need to support dyanmic props within the OG images so it would be nice if there was the option to build it into a static image at compile time and include it in the built asssets.

I can see #161 but I can't find the experimental configuration using the latest release of the OG package.

Is this implemented and I just can't find it or is this something that would be concidered?

Hi! I did have this feature implemented, but the implementation felt pretty brittle so I removed it in the process of adding support for TanStack Start.

I'm definitely open to the idea of adding it back (I could maybe create a Gist with an implementation that you could use), but I'd like to come up with an approach that isn't so brittle as the previous approach relied heavily on various assumptions that won't be true in all cases.

Ahhh that explains it. If you have a chance I would really appreciate that Gist if it's possible to implement in userspace or even as a reference if I get a change to do a PR!

Awesome! Let me see what I can do. I think it should be implementable in user-space (hopefully). I might give it a go later!
