      class Meta {  constructor(_doc: any): Meta;  addTag(tag: MetaDefinition, forceCreation?: boolean): HTMLMetaElement | null;  addTags(tags: MetaDefinition[], forceCreation?: boolean): HTMLMetaElement[];  getTag(attrSelector: string): HTMLMetaElement | null;  getTags(attrSelector: string): HTMLMetaElement[];  updateTag(tag: MetaDefinition, selector?: string | undefined): HTMLMetaElement | null;  removeTag(attrSelector: string): void;  removeTagElement(meta: HTMLMetaElement): void;}

Retrieves or creates a specific <meta> tag element in the current HTML document. In searching for an existing tag, Angular attempts to match the name or property attribute values in the provided tag definition, and verifies that all other attribute values are equal. If an existing element is found, it is returned and is not modified in any way.

Description

A service for managing HTML <meta> tags.

Properties of the MetaDefinition object match the attributes of the HTML <meta> tag. These tags define document metadata that is important for things like configuring a Content Security Policy, defining browser compatibility and security settings, setting HTTP Headers, defining rich content for social sharing, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

To identify specific <meta> tags in a document, use an attribute selection string in the format "tag_attribute='value string'". For example, an attrSelector value of "name='description'" matches a tag whose name attribute has the value "description". Selectors are used with the querySelector() Document method, in the format meta[{attrSelector}].
