          "OgTitle": "og-title",
          "OgType": "og-type",
          "OgImage": "og-image.jpg",
          "OgUrl": "og-url.com"
        },
        {
          "Url": "/demo",
          "OgTitle": "og-title2",
          "OgType": "og-typ2e",
          "OgImage": "og-image2.jpg",
          "OgUrl": "og-url2.com"
        }
      ]
    }
  },

You can configure your options like below in appsettings.json. With v2.0.0 now you can configure your open-graph and twitter card tags as well.

3. Add following custom middleware to your Configure method in Startup.cs:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    //...
    app.UseSeoHelper();
    //...
}

If you encounter a problem, you can examine the sample (SeoHelper.Demo) in this repo.
