How to create a Dynamic Sitemap in Next.js
Next.js is a popular React framework that allows for server-side rendering and static site generation, making it perfect for creating dynamic sitemaps.
Step 1: Install the necessary packages
Start by installing the necessary packages for generating a dynamic sitemap in Next.js. You will need the next-sitemap package. You can install it using npm:
npm install next-sitemap
Step 2: Configure the sitemap
Next, you need to configure the sitemap for your Next.js application. You can do this by creating a next-sitemap.js file in the root of your project. Inside this file, you can define the options for generating the sitemap, such as the pages to include and any additional configuration options:
module.exports = {
siteUrl: 'https://yourwebsite.com',
generateRobotsTxt: true,
changefreq: 'daily',
priority: 0.7,
}
Step 3: Generate the sitemap
Once you have configured the sitemap, you can generate it by running the following command:
npm run build && next-sitemap
This will generate a sitemap.xml file in the root of your project, containing all of the pages you specified in the configuration file.
Step 4: Submit the sitemap to search engines
Finally, you can submit the generated sitemap to search engines such as Google and Bing to help them index your website. You can do this by adding the sitemap URL to the search engine’s webmaster tools, or by including it in your robots.txt file:
Sitemap: https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml
And that’s it! You’ve now successfully created a dynamic sitemap for your Next.js application.
Next.js 13 adds first class support for dynamic sitemaps inside the app directory.

I used your method and also created a sitemap on next 12 with many small sitemaps such as:
/post-sitemap.xml
/page-sitemap.xml
/page-sitemap2.xml
/page-sitemap3.xml
However, next13 version cannot create sitemaps in this way. I also looked at the documentation and how to create a sitemap.js in the app folder, but it cannot create a sitemap in this divided style. This will not be optimal if the website has a link system of more than 50k, because Google only Allow up to 50k links on 1 sitemap record, so it is imperative to split as above I do with nextjs12. So is there a way to call
res.setHeader(),res.write(),res.end() in nextjs 13?
Hey this works locally, but on Netlify for example it returns error codes.
does this work for next 13.4 app directory ?

This was very helpful. Now, how about setting up dynamic redirects? I know how to set up static redirects in next.js with either the config, getStaticProps, and useRouter, but how might we go about building out all of our redirects from slug changes from a headless CMS? Let's say I've got a CMS with a Redirects content type and I can query those and get the from, to, and permanent fields, but where do I call that query on the front end to dynamically create the redirects for my site?
thanks a lot. this helped me
Can you show us your blogposts function, i don't have idea how to create it.
