A simple website crawler using [php-spider](https://github.com/mvdbos/php-spider) and SimpleXMLElement to generate a sitemap.xml-file. The file will be stored in the `public/`-directory. It is commonly used with the [SEO-friendly CommonMark Blog Package](https://github.com/spekulatius/laravel-commonmark-blog) at [bring your own ideas](https://bringyourownideas.com).

The sitemap generator is using the meta tag `article:modified_time` to identify the last modification. `Noindex` in robots meta-tag will be considered and the page will be left out. If a canoncial URL is set in the document, this one will be used instead. Priorities are guessed based on the depth of the page in the website.

Why a Sitemap.xml?
------------------

[](#why-a-sitemapxml)

Sitemaps are crawled by several search engines in the aim to identify changed pages on a website quicker and reduce crawling effort. While a sitemap technically isn't required, it can greatly support your efforts to [rank higher](https://github.com/Awesome-SEO).

Support
-------

[](#support)

This package supports Laravel 6-9.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package is managed using composer. You can install it using:

```
composer require bringyourownideas/laravel-sitemap
```

This ensures you receiving later updates automatically. Alternatively, you can install the package manually (not recommended) using the download functionality on GitHub.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package registers a artisan command called `sitemap:generate`. This triggers a crawl of your site and writing out of the sitemap. For convenience, you can add this to your deployment steps.

### Regular Updates of the sitemap

[](#regular-updates-of-the-sitemap)

If you'd like to update the sitemap.xml regularly, you can add a new line in `app/Console/Kernel.php`, in the schedule function:

```
/**
 * Define the application's command schedule.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
 * @return void
 */
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('sitemap:generate')->daily();

    // ...or with a defined time...

    $schedule->command('sitemap:generate')->daily()->at('02:50');
}
```
