How can I dynamically update the json-ld script with ajax?

To dynamically update a JSON-LD script with AJAX, you can follow these steps:

1. Retrieve the JSON data from your server using AJAX. You can use the jQuery.ajax() function or the XMLHttpRequest object to do this. For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11

$.ajax({
  url: "your_api_endpoint",
  method: "GET",
  dataType: "json",
  success: function(data) {
    // Handle the retrieved data
  },
  error: function(xhr, status, error) {
    // Handle the error
  }
});

1. Once you have retrieved the data, you can update the JSON-LD script using the jQuery.html() function or by manipulating the DOM. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

// Update the script tag using jQuery
var script = $('script[type="application/ld+json"]');
script.html(JSON.stringify(data));

// Or update the script tag by manipulating the DOM
var script = do***ent.querySelector('script[type="application/ld+json"]');
script.textContent = JSON.stringify(data);

1. Finally, you may want to trigger the update whenever the data changes or when the page is loaded. You can use jQuery's $(do***ent).ready() function or any other event handler to do this. For example:

1
2
3
4

$(do***ent).ready(function() {
  // Retrieve the data and update the JSON-LD script
  // ...
});

Note that you should only have one JSON-LD script tag on each page, so you may need to handle situations where the tag does not exist or where there are multiple tags.
