Quickstart

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install assemble-contrib-sitemap --save

Once that's done, just add assemble-contrib-sitemap, the name of this module, to the plugins option in the Assemble task:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  // Project configuration.
  grunt.initConfig({
    assemble: {
      options: {
        plugins: ['assemble-contrib-sitemap']
      },
      ...
    }
  });
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('assemble');
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['assemble']);
};

If everything was installed and configured correctly, you should be ready to go!

Options

See sitemaps.org for detail XML tag definitions.

dest

Type: String
Default: undefined

Sitemap destination. If not set, fallback to assemble destination.

homepage

Type: String
Default: homepage (from package.json)

Site URL

changefreq

Type: String
Default: weekly

How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are:

• always
• hourly
• daily
• weekly
• monthly
• yearly
• never

priority

Type: Float
Default: 0.5

The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This value does not affect how your pages are compared to pages on other sites—it only lets the search engines know which pages you deem most important for the crawlers.

exclusions

Type: Array
Default: ['404']

Page to omit from the sitemap.

options: {
  sitemap: {
    exclusions: ["foo", "bar"],
  },
  files: {
    ...
  }
}

robot

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Generate robots.txt from exclusions list.

Usage Examples

      plugins: ['assemble-contrib-sitemap'],
    },
    files: {
      './blog/': ['./templates/blog/*.hbs']
    }
  }
}

assemble: {
  blog: {
    options: {
      plugins: ['assemble-contrib-sitemap'],
      sitemap: {
        homepage: 'http://assemble.io',
            changefreq: 'daily',
            priority: '0.8',
            exclude: ['50x', 'foo'],
            robot: false
      }
    },
    files: {
      './blog/': ['./templates/blog/*.hbs']
    }
  }
}
