Generate sitemap with CLI

[MickL]

Currently it seems like /sitemap.xml is a dynamic route that the Nuxt server resolves rather than an actual file. This might be fine for most use cases but for example on Vercel this will resolve to a 404 page, issue: #256

It would be nice if the sitemap can be generated as a file in the build step by CLI, e.g. nuxt build && nuxt-sitemap generate. This would fix the issue above.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on with Vercel Edge that it doesn't work, but you should just be able to add the sitemap path to the prerender routes and it will generate it statically.

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      routes: ['/sitemap.xml']
    }
  }
})

I'm happy to enable the static generation by default on Vercel if you can make a minimal reproduction.

This would fix the issue :) I will give it a try soon.

The thing with Vercel is it seems to be looking for a real xml file instead of going through the Nuxt router and then Vercel shows a 404. I will do a reproduction repo.
