Sitemap

Generating sitemap.xml

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

Add sitemap to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:sitemap, "~> 1.1"}]
end

Ensure sitemap is started before your application:

def application do
  [extra_applications: [:sitemap]]
end

Usage

sitemap helps you define a module with a generate function which will build a sitemap for your site. You must decide how to call generate - via a manual Mix task, a recurring background job, or whatever you choose.

The resulting sitemap is currently written to a file. Because some web hosts do not support writing to the filesystem, we plan to support uploading to S3 in the future.

You can always specify your own adapter module with a write/2 function and persist the sitemaps wherever you like.

Basic

defmodule Sitemaps do
  use Sitemap

  def generate do
    create do
      # list each URL that should be included
      add "path1", priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly", expires: nil, mobile: true
      # ...
    end

    # notify search engines (currently Google and Bing) of the updated sitemap
    ping()
  end
end

With Phoenix

defmodule Sitemaps do
  alias MyAppWeb.{Endpoint, Router.Helpers}

  use Sitemap,
    host: "http://#{Application.get_env(:myapp, Endpoint)[:url][:host]}",
    files_path: "priv/static/sitemaps/",
    public_path: "sitemaps/"

  def generate do
    create do
      # list each URL that should be included, using your application's routes
      add Helpers.entry_path(Endpoint, :index), priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly", expires: nil
      add Helpers.entry_path(Endpoint, :about), priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly", expires: nil
      # ...
    end

    # notify search engines (currently Google and Bing) of the updated sitemap
    ping()
  end
end

Ways to set sitemap's options

Set options via the `use` statement

defmodule Sitemaps do
  use Sitemap, compress: false, host: "http://example.com"

  def generate do
    create do
      add "path1", priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly"
      add "path2", priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly"
    end

    ping()
  end
end

Set options via arguments to `create`

defmodule Sitemaps do
  use Sitemap

  def generate do
    create compress: false, host: "http://example.com" do
      add "path1", priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly"
      add "path2", priority: 0.5, changefreq: "hourly"
    end

    ping()
  end
end

Set options via `Mix` config

use Mix.Config

config :sitemap, [
  compress: false,
  host: "http://example.com",
]

Set options via environment variables

SITEMAP_COMPRESS=false SITEMAP_HOST=http://example.com mix run ./sitemap.exs

And you guys should follow mix task documents, here:
