Sitemap generation for Nuxt3

So far the official nuxt/sitemap module does not support Nuxt3. Here is a simple way to add a sitemap to your Nuxt3 app.

Example

An example of a sitemap rendered with this code can be found here.

Setup for a very simple static site (no dynamic page)

See instructions

1. install sitemap.ts as a dev dependency

npm install --save-dev sitemap

2. create a new file in the modules folder

mkdir modules && touch modules/sitemap.ts

3. copy/paste the content of sitemap.ts

4. add following lines in you nuxt.config.ts file

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // some configs
  modules: ['~/modules/sitemap'],
  sitemap: {
    hostname: 'https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>',
  },
  // more configs
})

Don't forget to change <YOUR_DOMAIN> with your actual domain.

5. build your nuxt app and see your sitemap file

npm run build

npx nuxi preview

In your browser go to http://localhost:3000/sitemap.xml

Example

If your pages folder looks like this :

pages/
├─ index.vue
├─ blog/
│  ├─ index.vue
│  ├─ first-article.vue
│  ├─ second-article.vue
│  ├─ third-article.vue

The generated sitemap will look like this :

Setup for a dynamic site powered by @nuxt/content with prerendering

See instructions (new recommanded way)

1. Follow official instructions from @nuxt/content.

2. These instructions are not perfect because static urls are not generated in the newly created sitemap.xml. To fix this, replace the sitemap.xml.ts file by the sitemap.xml.ts from this repository.

Your sitemap.xml should now be available and accurate 🎉

See instructions (outdated)

1. install sitemap.ts as a dev dependency

npm install --save-dev sitemap

2. create a new file in the modules folder

mkdir modules && touch modules/sitemap.ts

3. copy/paste the content of sitemap-dynamic.ts inside your newly created modules/sitemap.ts file.

4. add following lines in you nuxt.config.ts file

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // some configs
  modules: ['~/modules/sitemap'],
  sitemap: {
    hostname: 'https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>',
  },
  // more configs
})

Don't forget to change <YOUR_DOMAIN> with your actual domain.

5. build your nuxt app and see your sitemap file

npm run generate

Your sitemap is now available in .output/public/sitemap.xml
