gatsby-plugin-advanced-sitemap

gatsby-plugin-advanced-sitemap

The default Gatsby sitemap plugin generates a simple blob of raw XML for all your pages. This advanced sitemap plugin adds more power and configuration, generating a single or multiple sitemaps with full XSL templates to make them neatly organised and human + machine readable, as well linking image resources to encourage media indexing.

Demo: https://gatsby.ghost.org/sitemap.xml

 

NOTE: This plugin only generates output in production mode! To test, run: gatsby build && gatsby serve

 

Install

npm install --save gatsby-plugin-advanced-sitemap

How to Use

By default this plugin will generate a single sitemap of all pages on your site, without any configuration needed.

// gatsby-config.js

siteMetadata: {
    siteUrl: `https://www.example.com`,
},
plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-advanced-sitemap`
]

 

Options

If you want to generate advanced, individually organised sitemaps based on your data, you can do so by passing in a query and config. The example below uses Ghost, but this should work with any data source - including Pages, Markdown, Contentful, etc.

Example:

// gatsby-config.js

plugins: [
    {
        resolve: `gatsby-plugin-advanced-sitemap`,
        options: {
             // 1 query for each data type
            query: `
            {
                allGhostPost {
                    edges {

                            feature_image
                        }
                    }
