@answerable-kit/sitemap

@answerable-kit/sitemap

Sitemap builder for the Answerable SEO toolkit. Takes a list of paths, applies smart defaults inferred from path patterns, and returns a Next.js-compatible MetadataRoute.Sitemap.

v0.1.0. buildSitemap() and sitemapIndex() ship today with smart path-based defaults for priority and change frequency.

Install

pnpm add @answerable-kit/sitemap
# requires next >= 14

Usage

// app/sitemap.ts
import { buildSitemap } from '@answerable-kit/sitemap';

export default function sitemap() {
  return buildSitemap(
    [
      { path: '/' },
      { path: '/about' },
      { path: '/privacy' },
      { path: '/blog/launch' },
      { path: '/blog/post-1', lastModified: '2026-05-14' },
    ],
    { baseUrl: 'https://acme.com' },
  );
}

Smart defaults

Priority and changeFrequency are inferred from path patterns when you don't set them explicitly:

Path pattern	priority	changeFrequency
/ (home)	1.0	daily
/blog/*, /news/*, /posts/*	0.7	weekly
/docs/*	0.6	weekly
/products/*, /pricing	0.8	weekly
/about, /privacy, /terms, /contact, /faq	0.3	yearly
Anything else	0.5	monthly

Explicit priority or changeFrequency on a route always wins over inferred defaults.

Large sites (>50k URLs)

import { sitemapIndex } from '@answerable-kit/sitemap';

const index = sitemapIndex([
  { url: 'https://acme.com/sitemap-1.xml' },
  { url: 'https://acme.com/sitemap-2.xml', lastModified: new Date() },
]);
