Its major update to v4.0.0 shouldn't have any direct effect on your site, however, you may want to double check the [breaking changes](https://github.com/harlan-zw/nuxt-site-config/releases/tag/v4.0.0). ### [`robots:config` Hook Context](#robotsconfig-hook-context) The `HookRobotsConfigContext` now includes a `warnings: string[]` field alongside the existing `errors: string[]`. If you use the `robots:config` Nitro hook and inspect the context, be aware of this new field. ## [🚀 Features](#features) ### [`defineRobotsSchema()` Composable](#definerobotsschema-composable) A new composable for `@nuxt/content` v3 that simplifies adding robots fields to your content schema. content.config.ts ``` import { defineCollection, defineContentConfig } from '@nuxt/content' import { defineRobotsSchema } from '@nuxtjs/robots/content' import { z } from 'zod' export default defineContentConfig({ collections: { pages: defineCollection({ type: 'page', source: '**/*.md', schema: z.object({ robots: defineRobotsSchema(), }), }), }, }) ``` This replaces the previous `asRobotsCollection()` helper, which is now deprecated. ### [Validation Warnings](#validation-warnings) The robots.txt validation system now supports warnings in addition to errors. The first warning checks for `Disallow: /api` rules, which may unintentionally block API routes that need to be accessible. Warnings appear in the devtools debug view alongside errors, helping you catch potential misconfigurations before they cause issues. ### [Production Debug Route](#production-debug-route) A new `/__robots__/debug-production.json` server route is available in development. It fetches your production site's `robots.txt`, validates it, and returns a structured response with errors, warnings, parsed groups, and sitemaps. This makes it easy to compare your local configuration against what's live in production. ## [🔧 Bug Fixes](#bug-fixes) ### [`skipSiteIndexable` Now Skips `Disallow: /`](#skipsiteindexable-now-skips-disallow) Previously, setting `skipSiteIndexable: true` (used by sitemap generation) only skipped the site config indexable check. It now also filters out `Disallow: /` root disallow rules from path matching, ensuring sitemap URLs are correctly generated on staging or non-indexable environments. Specific path rules like `/admin` still apply as expected. ### [Route Rules Nullish Guard](#route-rules-nullish-guard) Route rules with `undefined` or `null` values no longer cause runtime errors. The `normaliseRobotsRouteRule` function now safely handles nullish input. ### [Devtools Meta Tag Parsing](#devtools-meta-tag-parsing) Meta tag parsing in the devtools debug view is now attribute order agnostic, fixing cases where `` was not detected.
