sitemap.xml and robots.txt example

[klyburke]

This example app shows you how to set up sitemap.xml and robots.txt files for proper indexing by search engine bots.

Thanks for the example, just a question, how is this different to https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/examples/root-static-files? Could we improve the already existent example instead of creating a new one?

Why not just do something like this within your package.json?

postbuild: "cp robots.txt sitemap.xml .next",

Seems fine to me

Thanks @timneutkens !

@klyburke just curious: how do you make sure that when posts update, sitemap is updated too? Looks like at the momemt sitemap is generated on server launch only.

[klyburke]

@kachkaev good question. I've updated the example and added a description to the README to address it.

The current example does not automatically update sitemap when the posts are changed (by changing n=5 in posts.js).

This app, in which posts are fetched from a database, does update sitemap after the cacheTime.

Just installed this and everything is working locally except for the robots.txt doesn't seem to be getting generated. I can console.log the path and it's displaying the correct path in the static folder, but the .get Route is not writing the file. Please advise if you can, thanks!
