const CopyPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // other webpack configuration options
  plugins: [
    new CopyPlugin({
      patterns: [
        { from: 'src/sitemap.xml', to: 'dist/sitemap.xml' },
      ],
    }),
  ],
};

1. Make sure to adjust the from and to options in the CopyPlugin configuration to match the source and destination paths for your sitemap.xml file.

By following these steps, you can easily publish the sitemap.xml file with webpack and ensure that search engines can crawl and index your website effectively.
