1. Introduction

The goal of this tutorial is to guide you on how to generate a robots.txt file using the Robots module in Nuxt.js. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of how to control how search engines crawl and index your site.

• What you will learn: You will learn how to install and configure the Robots module in Nuxt.js and generate a robots.txt file.

• Prerequisites: Basic understanding of Nuxt.js and JavaScript is required. Familiarity with SEO concepts is beneficial but not necessary.

2. Step-by-Step Guide

The robots module for Nuxt.js lets you create a robots.txt file, which gives instructions to web robots (most notably, search engines) on how to crawl your website.

Here's how you can use the robots module:

## Installation

First, install the module via NPM:

npm install @nuxtjs/robots

## Configuration

Then, add @nuxtjs/robots to the modules section of your nuxt.config.js file and configure it:

```javascript
modules: [
'@nuxtjs/robots'
],

robots: {
UserAgent: '*',
Disallow: '/admin'
}
```

In this example, UserAgent: '*' means that these rules apply to all robots, and Disallow: '/admin' means that robots are not allowed to crawl the /admin section of your site.

3. Code Examples

Here are some practical examples:

Example 1: Disallow all robots from crawling your site:

javascript robots: { UserAgent: '*', Disallow: '/' }

Example 2: Allow all robots to crawl your site:

javascript robots: { UserAgent: '*', Allow: '/' }

Example 3: Disallow specific robots (e.g., Googlebot) from crawling a specific directory (e.g., /private):

javascript robots: { UserAgent: 'Googlebot', Disallow: '/private' }
