Loader responses for "non-components"
I've seen a few conversations around how to generate things like
sitemap.xml and robots.txt, with the best approach so far being to create an API route (eg. /api/sitemap) with a Nitro redirect (/sitemap.xml => /api/sitemap). This works okay-ish.
This made me think, have you considered allowing Response objects to be returned from a file route's loader? If it is a Response object, the whole component tree can be ignored in favour of the Response.
This approach would allow creating dynamic sitemaps and similar files quite trivially.2 Replies

From what I've read, In the next iteration of api route (with Vinxi removal), the
/api folder limitation will go away, so sitemap.xml etc can be an api route directlyinland-turquoise•5mo ago
