Usage

You can theoretically use the sitemap generator at any given place of your application. It's recommend that you create a sitemap.js file in your root directory, that you execute while building your application.

// sitemap.js
const sitemapOptions: SitemapGeneratorOptions = {
    pagesDirectory: './pages',
    exportDirectory: './public',
    baseUrl: 'https://www.example.org',
    exportFilename: 'sitemap.xml',
    locales: ['de', 'en'],
    beforeFinishCallback: async function() {
        // Whatever string you return will be inserted before
        // </urlset> closing tag in your sitemap
        return `<url>
                <loc>https://www.example.org/blog</loc>
                <lastmod>2021-3-14</lastmod>
                <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
                <priority>1.0</priority>
            </url>`
    }
}

const sitemapGenerator = new SitemapGenerator(testOptions);

// Execute generation
sitemapGenerator.generate();

console.log("🎉 Sitemap generated!")

Then run it

node sitemap

Annotations

Annotations can be used to set options for specific pages.

Available Annotations are:

// @sitemapExcluded - Excludes a Sitemap

// @changeFreq daily - Sets changefreq value

// @sitemapPriority 0.5 - Sets priority value

For example

// pages/admin.tsx
// @sitemapExcluded

export default () => {
    return <>Secret admin page</>
}
