    const postDate = Date.parse(post.modified);
    if (!latestPost || postDate > latestPost) {

Hi @emilpriver, I have used your code with few modifications. I need to create sitemap for md files from '/posts/*.md'. I have my function to get the paths and data with async-await and promises so i didn't use axios. I'm able to see sitemap.xml in my local. But when I deploy to netlify, it throws prerender-error on /sitemap.xml. do you have any solution for this ?

@nawazsk Perhaps you can read the slugs in your /posts directory and use them to build the dynamic pages. Something like:

const postsDirectory = join(process.cwd(), '/posts');

function getPostSlugs() {
  return fs.readdirSync(postsDirectory);
}

function getAllSlugs() {
  const slugs = getPostSlugs();
  const realSlugs = slugs.map(s => s.replace(/\.md$/, ''));

  return realSlugs;
}
