Indeed, for now you can't.
I will start working on this feature, it will be a useful enhancement.

thks for your feedback!

What is the status of this feature? It would be great to have for multi-regional & multi-lang projects.

In the same situation as @martinrisseeuw currently, is there any feature/roadmap status on this one? Thanks!

Same here, also interested by this feature ! Is it planed soon ?

Without this feature this module is only suited for landing pages

Don't forget that the code is right in front of you. 😉

@manniL you are absolutely right. I will check out how to achieve it with original package first, then will see what can we do with Nuxt module. And thanks for your contributions!

@antimodern There is already a PR (#26) by the way ☺️

@manniL oh, this is cool. Will check out, thanks. Multiple sitemaps is crucial for hardcore SEO, like Images, Video, News sitemaps.

Is this feature completed? I also need it.

It will be very useful for multi-lang projects. Is this completed, or?

+1

This feature is very useful and sitemap is one of the most important feature for SEO, without splitting chunks I'm not sure why I should use it 👎

Does someone work on this feature?

@manniL @shavidzet @amjadkhan896 It seems that the PR https://github.com/nuxt-community/sitemap-module/pull/26 has been closed, so I would also like to know if there still is work going on for this feature?

Can you give us an update @NicoPennec?

Hello guys,

Thanks for this great module.
Is there any update on this issue or do you have any date to finish it?

Many Thanks,

Please finish this issue before close it!

I'm serving multiple domains on the same Nuxt instance, the ability to have multiple sitemaps is really needed for my use case as well. any updates on this?
how can we help move this feature forward?

Hi guys, can you please share any roadmap regarding this feature? Thanks a lot.

@vrusua I highly recommend to use https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js and do some tasks manually before someone fixes this.

@shavidzet thank you a lot for sharing this great resource. Please any idea of how I can add this to a nuxt project? Thank you.

Hello everyone!
and a big thank for your interest in the sitemap module.

I'm really sorry for the delay of my answers so far, but it should be better now 🙏

I started refactoring the module to support multiple sitemaps, without introducing breaking changes (if possible 🤞).

For now I have some questions to finalize the feature:

1. Do you need a sitemapindex to index your separated sitemaps?

sitemap: {
   path: "/sitemapindex.xml",
   sitemaps: [
     { path: "/sitemap-products.xml", routes: [...], ... },
     { path: "/sitemap-news.xml", routes: [...], ... },
    ]
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <sitemap>
        <loc>https://example.com/sitemap-products.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2019-08-30</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    <sitemap>
        <loc>https://example.com/sitemap-news.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2019-09-05</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

1. Do you need separeted sitemaps by hostname ? (eg. for multi-lang)

eg. without resolver

sitemap: [
  { hostname: "https://example.com", path: "/sitemap-en.xml", routes: [...], ... },
  { hostname: "https://example.fr", path: "/sitemap-fr.xml", routes: [...], ... },
}

eg. with a custom resolver (that will check the current request headers for example)

sitemap: [
  { hostname: "https://example.com", path: "/sitemap.xml", routes: [...], resolver: (req) => req.headers.host === "example.com", ... },
  { hostname: "https://example.fr", path: "/sitemap.xml", routes: [...], , resolver: (req) => req.headers.host === "example.fr", ... },
}

notice:
If you have more concrete use cases of separate sitemaps, please share any dummy example of expected configuration for your nuxt.config.js. 😉

Hello, @NicoPennec it's good this see this feature not forgotten !
In my case I would be in the 1. case.

Do you think it could be possible to generate separated sitemaps dynamically ?
In my case I would need a separate sitemap for each city of my country with business shops registered in my db. I would get that from an api.
So the list would grow automatically and I would only use one sitemapindex.xml listing all sitemaps generated from cities with business shops.

Exemple of sitemapindex.xml

<sitemap>
<loc>https://domain.com/sitemap/city-1.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2019-08-21 09:28:37</lastmod>
</sitemap>

<sitemap>
<loc>https://domain.com/sitemap/city-2.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2019-08-20 20:24:08</lastmod>
</sitemap>

[...]

<sitemap>
<loc>https://domain.com/sitemap/city-n.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2019-08-20 20:24:08</lastmod>
</sitemap>

Exemple of Sitemap for city 1
https://domain.com/sitemap/city-1.xml

<url>
<loc>
https://domain.com/city-1/businessname
</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
<loc>
https://www.domain.com/city-1/businessname2
</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
</url>

Would love to know if that's possible.
In your previous post, you are talking about hard coding each sitemap in the nuxt.config.js
am I right ?

Hi, @NicoPennec,

thanks for the update that this task in on board!

My current sitemaps are more related to the 2nd point without resolver (grouped multiple lang routes). However, the additional option with the resolver will be great to have too.

The 1st point (indexed sitemaps) is awesome also to have as an option in further.

Thank you.

Cheers,
Ruslan

My solution:

server/index.js

(() => {
  require('dotenv').config({
    path: process.env.ENV_PATH || '.env'
  })
})()

const express = require('express')
const consola = require('consola')
const { Nuxt, Builder } = require('nuxt')
const app = express()

const esmModulesRequire = require('esm')(module)
const generateSitemap = esmModulesRequire('../sitemap/index').default

// Import and Set Nuxt.js options
const config = require('../nuxt.config.js')
config.dev = !(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production')

async function start() {
  // Init Nuxt.js
  const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)

  const { host, port } = nuxt.options.server

  generateSitemap()
  app.use(express.static('sitemap/files'))

  // Build only in dev mode
  if (config.dev) {
    const builder = new Builder(nuxt)
    await builder.build()
  } else {
    await nuxt.ready()
  }

  // Give nuxt middleware to express
  app.use(nuxt.render)

  // Listen the server
  app.listen(port, host)
  consola.ready({
    message: `Server listening on http://${host}:${port}`,
    badge: true
  })
}
start()

sitemap/index.js

import fs from 'fs'
import { format } from 'date-fns'
import mkdirp from 'mkdirp'

import { locales } from '../lang'

api.lang = 'en'

const routes = async () => {
  const { places } = await api.fetchPlaces()
  const placeNames = places
    .map(({ name }) => {
      return places.reduce((state, item) => {
        const newArr = name === item.name ? [] : [`from-${name}-to-${item.name}`]
        return [
          ...state,
          ...newArr
        ]
      }, [])
    })

  return [
    ...placeNames
  ]
}

const getHostname = () => {
  const protocol = process.env.PROTOCOL
  const hostname = process.env.HOST
  const port = process.env.PORT || ''

  const fullUrl = `${protocol}://${hostname}:${port}`

  return port
    ? fullUrl
    : fullUrl.slice(0, -1) // remove :
}

const generateUrls = async (lang) => {
  const allRoutes = await routes()
  const { tours: allTours } = (await api.fetchTours()).data

  const flatRoutes = allRoutes

  const tours = allTours.map(({ id }) => ({

    ...tours,
    ...placeRoutes
  ]

  return urls
}

const generateSitemap = () => {
  locales.forEach(({ code }) => {
    const path = `./sitemap/files/${code}`
    mkdirp(path, async (err) => {
      if (err) {
        throw err
      }
      const sitemap = sm.createSitemap({
        hostname: getHostname(),
        cacheTime: 600000,
        urls: await generateUrls(code)
      })
      fs.writeFileSync(`${path}/sitemap.xml`, sitemap.toString())
    })
  })
}

export default generateSitemap

To have dynamic sitemap data based on API, you should re-deploy app after data changes in DB

Thank you for your answers!
It helps to move in the right direction 👍

The branch will be publish soon so you can test.

The release 2.0.0 has just been published with the mutliple sitemaps and the sitemap index.

@desaintflorent
the "autosplit" feadure is planned for the next release.
