[Feature?] Generate sitemap.xml files when building the app #423
Description
We should be able to generate the sitemap.xml file as part of the build process.
Fresh-seo does something similar for the fresh framework
https://github.com/xstevenyung/fresh-seo
But this could be integrated into the app maybe as I opt in if people are only building a SPA

Tried using
https://github.com/jbaubree/vite-plugin-sitemapbut it seems like it wont work out of the box for the sitemap config, we need a way for it to undestand the routes in solidryansolid commentedon Dec 18, 2023
Hmm this is interesting because we support a combination of file system and runtime routes. I'm not sure if we can get that information easily at build time.

@ryansolid For non dynamic routes we could possible get it at build time, for dynamic routes I guess we could provide some kind of pre-defined to use but there isn't much it can be done?

For my current project it was quite easy to generate the sitemap.xml at build time.
My site is static only, route prerendering could work differently for other nitro presets or dynamic routes.
@ryansolid Something like this could be added to the docs or a starter template?
Relevant changes are the
prerenderconfig and thesitemap.xml.tsroute.https://github.com/edelms/spfx-x/blob/main/docs/app.config.ts

In Solid v2 we now can create sitemaps using our prerender-crawler plugin
https://github.com/solidjs/prerender-crawler/blob/4fcaf17a4b75249ad1df805cbf29cb02bec02226/packages/crawler/README.md?plain=1#L31

Closing, since sitemap generation does not need to live in SolidStart itself:
prerender-crawlerVite plugin with itssitemap()integration, as brenelz mentioned above. It writessitemap.xmlfrom the pages the crawl actually renders, with dynamic segments expanded, and leaves out redirects andnoindexpages.sitemap.xml.tsAPI route that returns the XML, and list it underserver.prerender.routesinapp.config.tsso it is generated at build time. edelms's config and route above show the full setup.
