[](#block-robots-middleware-)

PSR-15 middleware to avoid search engine indexing with PSR-7

This middleware provide framework-agnostic possibility to preventing your site from being indexed.

How it works?
-------------

[](#how-it-works)

- Add `X-Robots-Tag` header with `noindex, nofollow` value.
- Add `robots.txt` "file" with `User-Agent: * Disallow: /` body

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require php-middleware/block-robots
```

```
$blockRobotsMiddleware = new PhpMiddleware\BlockRobots\BlockRobotsMiddleware();

$app = new MiddlewareRunner();
$app->add($blockRobotsMiddleware);
$app->run($request, $response);
```

It's just works with any modern php framework!
----------------------------------------------

[](#its-just-works-with-any-modern-php-framework)

Middleware tested on:

- [Expressive](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-expressive)

Middleware should works with:

- [Slim 3.x](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim)

And any other modern framework [supported middlewares and PSR-7](https://mwop.net/blog/2015-01-08-on-http-middleware-and-psr-7.html).
