export default defineNuxtConfig({
  schemaOrg: {
    identity: definePerson({
      name: 'Harlan Wilton',

      // Profile Information, if applicable
      image: '/profile-photo.jpg',
      description: 'Software engineer and open-source contributor',

      url: 'harlanzw.com',
      sameAs: [
        'https://twitter.com/harlan_zw',
        'https://github.com/harlan-zw'
      ],
    })
  }
})

Organization

The Organization identity should be used when your website is about a company, a brand, a non-profit or a community. However, it should also be used as the catch-all identity when the other options don't fit.

import { defineOrganization } from 'nuxt-schema-org/schema'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  schemaOrg: {
    identity: defineOrganization({
      // Basic Information
      name: 'TechCorp Solutions',

    })
  }
})

LocalBusiness

The LocalBusiness identity should be used when your website is about a local business, a store, a restaurant or a service. It must have a physical address associated with it.

Some examples of LocalBusiness{lang="ts}: : Restaurant, HealthAndBeautyBusiness, ProfessionalService, FinancialService, MedicalBusiness, etc...

  schemaOrg: {
    identity: defineLocalBusiness({

        postalCode: '95060',
        addressCountry: 'US'
      },
    }),
  }
})
