Introduction

Sitemap Manager is a Laravel package for automated sitemap generation and management. It creates new sitemap files, replaces outdated ones, and keeps everything up to date using a single Artisan command and Laravel’s scheduler.

Ideal for Laravel applications that need reliable, repeatable, and automated sitemap handling.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require mohammad-zarifiyan/laravel-sitemap-manager:^3.0

Database Migrations

This package stores sitemap metadata in the database.

Publish and run the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Providers\SitemapManagerProvider" --tag="sitemap-manager-migrations"

php artisan migrate

Configuration

To publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Providers\SitemapManagerProvider" --tag="sitemap-manager-config"

Routes

Register the package routes in your routes/web.php file:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::sitemap();

This code registers sitemap serving routes.

Scheduling

To keep sitemaps updated automatically, register the command in Laravel’s scheduler:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schedule;

Schedule::command('sitemap-manager:refresh-sitemaps')->daily();

Make sure your server cron is configured to run Laravel’s scheduler.

How It Works

1. Sitemap data is collected from all registered registries.
2. Sitemap files are generated in chunks based on the configured tags-per-sitemap limit.
3. Existing sitemap files are safely replaced with the new ones.
4. Metadata about generated sitemaps is stored in the database.
5. Your sitemaps are served dynamically at the /sitemap.xml path, automatically adapting to your domain.

Creating a Custom Sitemap Registry

Sitemap Manager allows you to add your own data sources by implementing the MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RegistryInterface or MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RestrictedRegistryInterface. This document explains how to create a custom registry, handle pagination, and register it in the configuration.

1. Implement RegistryInterface

Create a new class that implements MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RegistryInterface:

<?php

namespace App\Sitemaps;

use MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RegistryInterface;
use App\Models\Post;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Url;
use Generator;

class PostRegistry implements RegistryInterface
{
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'posts';
    }

    public function tags(): Generator
    {
        $posts = Post::query()
            ->where('published', true)
            ->cursor();

        foreach ($posts as $post) {
            yield Url::create('http://localhost/blog/' . $post->slug);
        }
    }
}

Notes:

getName() returns a unique name for your registry.

tags() should return a \Generator.

2. Implement RestrictedRegistryInterface (Optional)

If your sitemap needs domain restrictions, implement MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RestrictedRegistryInterface:

<?php

namespace App\Sitemaps;

use MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\DataTransferObjects\Domain;
use MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Interfaces\RestrictedRegistryInterface;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Support\LazyCollection;
use MohammadZarifiyan\LaravelSitemapManager\Enums\SitemapRestrictionType;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Url;
use Generator;

class RestrictedPostRegistry implements RestrictedRegistryInterface
{
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'restricted-posts';
    }

    public function tags(): Generator
    {
        yield Url::create('https://localhost/first');
        yield Url::create('https://localhost/second');
    }

    public function domains(): Collection|LazyCollection
    {
        // Return allowed or prohibited domains
        return collect([
            new Domain('example.com'),
            new Domain('another-site.com'),
        ]);
    }

    public function restrictionType(): SitemapRestrictionType
    {
        return SitemapRestrictionType::Prohibition;
    }
}

3. Register Your Registry in Configuration

Open your config/sitemap-manager.php and add your registry class to the registries array:

<?php

return [
    // rest of your configuration file
    'registries' => [
        \App\Sitemaps\PostRegistry::class,
        \App\Sitemaps\RestrictedPostRegistry::class,
    ],
    // rest of your configuration file
];
