managing sitemap at runtime in swr with data from an headless cms

[Sandros94]

Details

So, as stated in the nuxt-seo-kit I've noticed that simple-sitemap needs to prerender all the pages so that it could create the sitemap. Quite fine for SSG but not so much when on SSR with SWR and ISR...

So I started studying how dynamic urls setup works, but if I understand it correctly, for the loc I should provide the slug and not the full url right? But then where I put the full url? In the sitemap.siteUrl inside nuxt.config.ts? But if I do so doesn't it reactivate the prerendering?

Hey @Sandros94, in the latest version of nuxt-simple-sitemp it reads from the request headers to determine the site URL. You should be able to just leave siteUrl undefined if you're generating the sitemap at runtime.

Thanks, as soon as I manage to list the slugs from my backend and test this I'll update.

UPDATE: I'm in the process of studying different CMSs (testing payload rn) so I might take at least a week before I get back to this. 🙁

Hi, I added some slugs statically for now (to check if they are added to the sitemap, before fetching them from my CMS) to the code and my code looks like this:

export default cachedEventHandler(async () => {
    // const [
    //   posts,
    // ] = await Promise.all([
    //   {
    //     url:'/blog/hello-world',
    //     updatedAt:'8998',
    //   }
    // ])
    // return [posts].map((p) => {
    //   return { loc: p.url, lastmod: p.updatedAt }
    // })
    return [
        {
            loc: 'hello-there', lastMod: '8378787'
        },
        {
            loc: 'hello-world', lastMod: '8378787'
        },
    ]
  }
  , {
    name: 'sitemap-dynamic-urls',
    maxAge: 60 * 10 // cache URLs for 10 minutes
  }
  )

I generated a build and I cant see the list of those in the sitemap.xml file. Only the prerendered routes are available.

What must be going wrong? I am new to Nuxt in general.

@arjunhadke7 Does it work in dev? If so, what method are you using to build / preview?

No it doesnt show up at all on dev.

@harlan-zw For now I am relying on Start-time dynamic URLs.
This section: https://github.com/harlan-zw/nuxt-simple-sitemap#start-time-dynamic-urls

Since I dont have a lot many posts or pages that are being called from the CMS.

Will track this as part of #80

Sounds good.
Currently I'm still scratching my head around how should I handle this in the backend (not to mention a small bug in the directus flow). But we do agree that it is best suited there, since the data handled by the backend and nuxt only creates the interactivity.

@Sandros94 I'm also struggling with Directus and this repository, did you find a solution?

Not really, I got offtrack when the new SDK released.

Currently I'm testing stuff around the nuxt-directus module and the new SDK. Only then I would have come back to this topic.
