generateSitemaps

You can use the generateSitemaps function to generate multiple sitemaps for your application.

Returns​

The generateSitemaps returns an array of objects with an id property.

URLs​

In production, your generated sitemaps will be available at /.../sitemap/[id].xml. For example, /product/sitemap/1.xml.

In development, you can view the generated sitemap on /.../sitemap.xml/[id]. For example, /product/sitemap.xml/1. This difference is temporary and will follow the production format.

Example​

For example, to split a sitemap using generateSitemaps, return an array of objects with the sitemap id. Then, use the id to generate the unique sitemaps.

import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
// Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap({
id,
}: {
id: number
}): Promise<MetadataRoute.Sitemap> {
// Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
const start = id * 50000
const end = start + 50000
const products = await getProducts(
`SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
)
return products.map((product) => ({
url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${product.id}`,
lastModified: product.date,
}))
}
import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
// Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap({ id }) {
// Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
const start = id * 50000
const end = start + 50000
const products = await getProducts(
`SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
)
return products.map((product) => ({
url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${id}`,
lastModified: product.date,
}))
}
