I’m going to learn how to create a sitemap in this tutorial. I’ll explain how to create a dynamic sitemap using laravel 9 in this tutorial.
SitemapController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Sitemap;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Url;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Tag;
use DOMDocument;
use Log;
class SitemapController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('sitemap');
}
public function generateSitemapXML($url)
{
log::info("generateSitemapXML");
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . PHP_EOL;
$xml .= '<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1">' . PHP_EOL;
// Add the homepage URL

$xml .= '<url>' . PHP_EOL;
$xml .= '<loc>' . $homepageUrl . '</loc>' . PHP_EOL;

public function getTotalImages($url)

}
public function generateSitemap(Request $request)
{

This is sitemap.blade.php
<div class="container-wrapper">

@csrf
<input type="text" name="url" placeholder="Enter Website URL">
<button type="submit">Generate Sitemap</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>And this table.blade.php
<h1>Sitemap of "{{ $websiteUrl }}" </h1>
