in my experience, the biggest benefit of using a module such as @nuxtjs/robots presents itself when you pass it a function rather than a static object. This means that you can decide based on your data whether or not a path should be allowed or disallowed.
I parse a index: true | false value from the front-matter of my markdown articles and use that to dynamically generate my robots.txt on nuxt generate.

just seeing your reply as I’ve not been on here. thanks for the explanation! Would this make a difference for universal mode sites, does the module provide the same benefits?
I'd imagine so, but only during the nuxt build step. I don't think it would be able to update based on data changes alone whilst the application is running via nuxt start. Looking into the codebase itself or posting an issue with a question should get you a clearer answer though 👍
@siliconmachine what is the advantage of using this module over simply adding a robots.txt file in static/robots.txt ?
