Docs: Generating a sitemap with `next export`

[alextse]

What is the documentation issue?

Using the provided example, getting the following error with a SSG setup.

Error: Page "/sitemap.xml/[[...__metadata_id__]]/route" is missing exported function "generateStaticParams()", which is required with "output: export" config.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

Next.js version: 14.2.13

Is generating sitemap.xml even possible with SSG?

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.

@alextse Can you clarify which example you're referring to (e.g., screenshot)?

Hi @samcx , below is the sample I've tried.

import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'yearly',
      priority: 1,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/about',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'monthly',
      priority: 0.8,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/blog',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'weekly',
      priority: 0.5,
    },
  ]
}

and here's my next.js config.

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
    output: 'export'
};

export default nextConfig;
