sitemap.xml

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Most websites need to provide a sitemap.xml for SEO purposes.

Describe the solution you’d like SvelteKit should provide a way (automatically, or recommended way via documentation) on how to create a sitemap.xml.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I see sitemap.xml generation is mentioned in the sapper repo - is this the way to do it?

Also mentioned by @antony here.

How important is this feature to you? I think this will affect a large number of SvelteKit users who are building websites.

Note

The SvelteKit homepage says:

SvelteKit doesn’t compromise on SEO

Without supporting sitemap.xml, this claim is inaccurate/disingenuous.

Thank you!

Thank you @auderer @madeleineostoja It was just proof-of-concept and it worked well for my case. But you’re right this should run as postbuild.

So now (in v1.0.0) it already works as a postbuild (including dynamic routes) 🎉

npm install svelte-sitemap --save-dev

Let me know how it works 😉

I agree with @antony SvelteKit should provide a way to expose the routing table.

But meanwhile… I needed sitemap for my static website (used with adapter-static) and I didn’t want to write it manually 😃 So I made a simple proof-of-concept library for myself – but maybe it will come in handy for someone.

Basically just install it and use it as prebuild script:

npm install svelte-sitemap --save-dev

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "scripts": {
    "prebuild": "svelte-sitemap --domain https://mydomain.com"
  }
}

And yes, I reckon that my library will soon become obsolete when the SvelteKit supports it natively 😉 👍
