Deprecated - No Longer Maintained

I would suggest using https://github.com/iamvishnusankar/next-sitemap instead of using this library going forward, as it is not being maintained anymore.

next-with-sitemap

Higher order Next.js config to generate sitemap.xml and robots.txt. Read more at Medium. Heavily inspired from IlusionDev/nextjs-sitemap-generator.

Install

yarn add next-with-sitemap

Basic Usage

Update or create next.config.js with

const withSitemap = require("next-with-sitemap");

module.exports = withSitemap({
  sitemap: {
    baseUrl: "https://www.example.com",
  },
  // .
  // ..
  // ... other Next.js config
});

Add sitemap.xml and robots.txt to your .gitignore

robots.txt
sitemap.xml

Configuration

There are options you can use to customize the behavior of this plugin by adding sitemap object in the Next.js config in next.config.js. Alongside those given sitemap options, this library would also rely on your Next.js config values exportPathMap, exportTrailingSlash, and pageExtensions to come up with the correct sitemap.xml content.

const withSitemap = require("next-with-sitemap");

module.exports = withSitemap({
  sitemap: {
    baseUrl: "https://www.example.com",
    alternateBaseUrls: [
      {
        lang: "jp",
        url: "https://example.jp",
      },
      {
        lang: "es",
        url: "https://example.com/es",
      },
    ],
    dest: "public",
    excludedPaths: ["/login", "/signup"],
    extraPaths: ["/extra/path"],
    pages: "pages",
    pageTags: [
      {
        path: "/",
        priority: 1.0,
      },
      {
        path: "/extra/path",
        changefreq: "monthly",
      },
      {
        path: "/about",
        changefreq: "weekly",
        priority: 0.5,
      },
    ],
    robots: true,
    sitemap: true,
  },
});
