Generate sitemaps with Laravel (or for a Non-Laravel project), compatible with Images Sitemap and News Sitemap

This package has been forked from spatie/laravel-sitemap, to remove support for SitemapGenerator, remove installation requirement for PHP 8, and add support for Images Sitemaps and News Sitemaps.

Additionally, this package adds support for installation outside a Laravel Project. See Using this package outside Laravel section.

This package can generate a valid sitemap by writing your own custom logic for the sitemap structure, via the API provided by this package.

Heads up! This package requires Laravel 9 or Laravel 10 For PHP 7.4 and Laravel 8 compatibility refer to v1.1.*

Installation

For Laravel 9 or 10, or for a non-Laravel-based project running on PHP >= 8.0

composer require mfonte/laravel-sitemap

For Laravel 8, or for a non-Laravel-based project running on PHP >= 7.4 && < 8.0

composer require mfonte/laravel-sitemap "^1.1"

Creating sitemaps

You can only create your sitemap manually:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Sitemap;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Tags\Url;

Sitemap::create()
    ->add(
        Url::create('/home')
        ->setLastModificationDate(Carbon::yesterday())
        ->setChangeFrequency(Url::CHANGE_FREQUENCY_YEARLY)
        ->setPriority(0.1)
        ->addImage('/path/to/image', 'A wonderful Caption')
        ->addNews('A long story short', 'en', Carbon::yesterday(), 'Sitemaps are this great!')
    )
   ->add(...)
   ->writeToFile($path);

The sitemap generator can automatically understand what type of items you placed inside the sitemap, and create a valid schema accordingly. This is an example of a sitemap header with images and news:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9">
    <url>
        <loc>http://localhost/page10</loc>\n
        <lastmod>2016-01-01T00:00:00+00:00</lastmod>
        <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
        <priority>0.8</priority>
        <image:image>
            <image:loc>http://localhost/imageUrl</image:loc>
        </image:image>
        <news:news>
            <news:publication_date>2015-12-29</news:publication_date>
            <news:title>defaultTitle</news:title>
            <news:publication>
                <news:name>defaultName</news:name>
                <news:language>defaultLanguage</news:language>
            </news:publication>
        </news:news>
    </url>
</urlset>

You can also add your models directly by implementing the \Mfonte\Sitemap\Contracts\Sitemapable interface.

use Mfonte\Sitemap\Contracts\Sitemapable;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Tags\Url;

class Post extends Model implements Sitemapable
{
    public function toSitemapTag(): Url | string | array
    {
        return route('blog.post.show', $this);
    }
}

Now you can add a single post model to the sitemap or even a whole collection.

use Mfonte\Sitemap\Sitemap;

Sitemap::create()
    ->add($post)
    ->add(Post::all());

This way you can add all your pages super fast without the need to crawl them all.

Creating a sitemap index

You can create a sitemap index:

use Mfonte\Sitemap\SitemapIndex;

SitemapIndex::create()
    ->add('/pages_sitemap.xml')
    ->add('/posts_sitemap.xml')
    ->writeToFile($sitemapIndexPath);

You can pass a Mfonte\Sitemap\Tags\Sitemap object to manually set the lastModificationDate property.

use Mfonte\Sitemap\SitemapIndex;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Tags\Sitemap;

SitemapIndex::create()
    ->add('/pages_sitemap.xml')
    ->add(Sitemap::create('/posts_sitemap.xml')
        ->setLastModificationDate(Carbon::yesterday()))
    ->writeToFile($sitemapIndexPath);

the generated sitemap index will look similar to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
   <sitemap>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/pages_sitemap.xml</loc>
      <lastmod>2016-01-01T00:00:00+00:00</lastmod>
   </sitemap>
   <sitemap>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/posts_sitemap.xml</loc>
      <lastmod>2015-12-31T00:00:00+00:00</lastmod>
   </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Usage outside of Laravel

The same instructions above apply, except for:

1. You can not use Contracts\Sitemapable to extend a Model (you're not on Laravel, aren't you?)
2. You have to use the Sitemap::render(), Sitemap::writeToFile(), SitemapIndex::render() and SitemapIndex::writeToFile() via providing the extra boolean flag $nativeRenderer = true
3. You can not use Sitemap::writeToDisk(), Sitemap::toResponse(), SitemapIndex::writeToDisk() and SitemapIndex::toResponse()

So, for example, a basic approach may be:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Sitemap;
use Mfonte\Sitemap\Tags\Url;

$sitemapStream = Sitemap::create()->add(
    Url::create('/home')
        ->setLastModificationDate(Carbon::yesterday())
        ->setChangeFrequency(Url::CHANGE_FREQUENCY_YEARLY)
        ->setPriority(0.1)
        ->addImage('/path/to/image', 'A wonderful Caption')
        ->addNews('A long story short', 'en', Carbon::yesterday(), 'Sitemaps are this great!')
)
->add(...)
->render(nativeRenderer: true);
