Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap

A tool to generate XML sitemaps

Basic Usage

Generating a urlset sitemap

$urlSet = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Urlset(); 

$url = (new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Url($loc))
  ->setLastMod($lastMod)
  ->setChangeFreq($changeFreq)
  ->setPriority($priority);

$urlSet->addUrl($url);

Generating a sitemapindex sitemap

$sitemapIndex = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\SitemapIndex(); 

$url = (new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Sitemap($loc))
  ->setLastMod($lastMod);
  
$sitemapIndex->addSitemap($url);

Then pass either SitemapIndex or Urlset to Output to generate output

echo (new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Output())->getOutput($sitemapIndex);

Subelements

You can add more specific information to a URL entry, ie video / image information

Image

$subelement = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Subelements\Image('https://s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/image');

Video

$subelement = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Subelements\Video('thumbnail', 'title', 'description');

Mobile

$subelement = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Subelements\Mobile();

Link

$subelement = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Subelements\Link('de', 'http://www.example.com/schweiz-deutsch/');

News

$subelement = (new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Subelements\News())
    ->setPublicationDate(new \DateTime())
    ->setPublicationLanguage('en')
    ->setPublicationName('Site Name')
    ->setTitle('Some title');

Then you need to add the subelement to the URL

$url = new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Url('http://www.example.com/1')
$url->addSubelement($subelement);

and rendering is described above.

Advanced Usage

Indenting output

Output is indented by default, can be turned off as follows

echo (new Thepixeldeveloper\Sitemap\Output())
    ->setIndented(false)
    ->getOutput($urlSet);

Configuration

Name	Default	Values
setIndented	true	boolean
setIndentString	4 spaces	string

Why should I use this over cartographer?

• This library has less complexity. All it's going to do is build an object graph and spit it out as XML
• Has support for a growing list of sub elements ie: mobile and images
• No dependencies. A library outputting XML doesn't need to rely on Flysystem
