Use asSeoCollection() for automatic sitemap, og-image, and schema-org from frontmatter:
// content.config.ts
import { defineCollection, defineContentConfig } from '@nuxt/content'
import { asSeoCollection } from '@nuxtjs/seo/content'
export default defineContentConfig({
collections: {
posts: defineCollection(asSeoCollection({ type: 'page', source: 'posts/**' }))
}
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['@nuxtjs/seo', '@nuxt/content']
})
Frontmatter fields: ogImage, sitemap, robots, schemaOrg.
