grunt-json-sitemap

Create a sitemap from a simple json file containing routes.

The idea behind this plugin was to help us at Oddly to easily generate a full sitemap of our Angular apps without really having to write XML.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-json-sitemap --save

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-json-sitemap");

json_sitemap task

Run this task with the grunt json_sitemap command.

Usage example

json_sitemap: {
    dev: {
        // You can use "sitemap" property in your package.json
        // instead of adding "map" property here
        dest: ".tmp/sitemap.xml"
    },
    dist: {
        map: "app/sitemap.json",
        dest: "dist/sitemap.xml"
    }
}
