You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us). We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` $ composer require spatie/laravel-robots-middleware ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) By default, the middleware enables indexing on all pages. You'll probably want to inherit your own class containing you application's indexing rule handler. ``` // app/Http/Middleware/MyRobotsMiddleware.php namespace App\Http\Middleware; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Spatie\RobotsMiddleware\RobotsMiddleware; class MyRobotsMiddleware extends RobotsMiddleware { /** * @return string|bool */ protected function shouldIndex(Request $request) { return $request->segment(1) !== 'admin'; } } ``` Next, simply register the newly created class in your middleware stack. ``` // app/Http/Kernel.php class Kernel extends HttpKernel { protected $middleware = [ // ... \App\Http\Middleware\MyRobotsMiddleware::class, ]; // ... } ``` That's it! Responses will now always have an `x-robots-tag` in their headers, containing an `all` or `none` value. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently. Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` $ composer test ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/spatie/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
