PlainSitemap

PlainSitemap is a simple sitemap generator for Elixir.

Installation

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

def deps do
  [{:plain_sitemap, github: "kenta-aktsk/plain_sitemap"}]
end

Ensure plain_sitemap is started before your application:

def application do
  [applications: [:plain_sitemap]]
end

Usage

(Assume that your app name is my_app, your site url is http://example.com, and you have Entry model)

Add module and define urlset like below:

# web/sitemap.ex
defmodule MyApp.Sitemap do
  use PlainSitemap, app: :my_app, default_host: "http://example.com"
  alias MyApp.{Repo, Entry}

  urlset do
    add "/", changefreq: "hourly", priority: 1.0
    Entry |> Repo.all |> Enum.each(fn(entry) ->
      add "/entries/#{entry.id}", lastmod: entry.updated_at, changefreq: "daily", priority: 0.5
    end)
  end
end

Now You can generate sitemap on iex like below: (output path is priv/static/sitemap.xml.gz)

MyApp.Sitemap.refresh

And you can generate sitemap by using rpc call to compiled package: (output path is lib/my_app-{version}/priv/static/sitemap.xml.gz)

bin/my_app rpc Elixir.MyApp.Sitemap refresh

Generated sitemap example is below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset xmlns=...>
  <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-04-10T10:10:10+00:00</lastmod>
    <changefreq>hourly</changefreq>
    <priority>1.0</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/entries/1</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-04-20T02:02:02+00:00</lastmod>
    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
  </url>
  ...
</urlset>
