Continuous Integration with Hawk.js

Hawk.js integrates seamlessly into your CI/CD pipelines on platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins, enabling automated sitemap generation and search engine submission during your deployment process.

What Does Hawk.js Do in CI/CD?

1. Build Your Website: Generate the deployable version of your site (e.g., static site generators, Next.js apps).
2. Generate Sitemaps: Create sitemap.xml and robots.txt using Hawk.js.
3. Trigger Search Engines: Notify search engines using these strategies:
   • IndexNow: For Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, and other IndexNow-compatible engines.
   • Google Webmaster API: Submit and manage sitemaps via Google Search Console.
   • Google Indexing API: Notify Google about job postings or live stream updates.
4. Optional: Generate sitemaps only, without triggering search engines.

Platform-Specific Workflows

While each CI/CD platform uses different syntax, the core operations are identical.

• GitHub Actions: Workflow examples for integrating Hawk.js in GitHub repositories.
• GitLab CI: Pipeline definitions tailored for GitLab environments.
• Jenkins: Flexible pipeline scripts for various deployment scenarios.

Each page provides four customizable workflows:

1. IndexNow Strategy: Notify IndexNow-compatible engines.
2. Google Webmaster: Upload sitemaps to Google Search Console.
3. Google Indexing API: Directly notify Google about page updates.
4. Sitemap Generation Only: Generate the sitemap without triggering submissions.
