XmlSitemap is a ruby library that provides an easy way to generate XML sitemaps and indexes.
It does not have any web-framework dependencies and could be used in any ruby-based application.
Install via rubygems:
gem install xml-sitemap
Or using latest source code:
rake install
Add gem to your Gemfile and you're ready to go:
gem 'xml-sitemap'Simple usage:
map = XmlSitemap::Map.new('domain.com') do |m|
# Adds a simple page
m.add '/page1'
# You can drop leading slash, it will be automatically added
m.add 'page2'
# Set the page priority
m.add 'page3', :priority => 0.2
# Specify last modification date and update frequiency
m.add 'page4', :updated => Date.today, :period => :never
endRender map output:
# Render the sitemap XML
map.render
# Render and save XML to the output file
map.render_to('/path/to/file.xml')
# You can also use compression
map.render_to('/path/to/file.xml.gz', :gzip => true)
# If you didnt specify .gz extension to the filename,
# XmlSitemap will automatically append it
# => content will be saved to /path/to/file.xml.gz
map.render_to('/path/to/file.xml', :gzip => true)You can also create a map via shortcut:
map = XmlSitemap.new('foobar.com')
map = XmlSitemap.map('foobar.com')By default XmlSitemap creates a map with link to homepage of your domain.
Homepage priority is 1.0.
List of available update periods:
:none:always:hourly:daily:weekly:monthly:yearly:never
When creating a new map object, you can specify a set of options.
map = XmlSitemap::Map.new('mydomain.com', options)Available options:
:secure- Will add all sitemap items with https prefix. (default: false):home- Disable homepage autocreation, but you still can do that manually. (default: true):root- Force all links to fall under the main domain. You can add full urls (not paths) if set to false. (default: true):time- Provide a creation time for the sitemap. (default: current time):group- Group name for sitemap index. (default: sitemap)
XmlSitemap has a few different rendering engines. You can select one passing argument to render method.
Available engines:
:string- Uses plain strings (for performance). Default.:builder- Uses Builder::XmlMarkup.:nokogiri- Uses Nokogiri library. Requiresnokogirigem.
Regular sitemap does not support more than 50k records, so if you're generating a huge sitemap you need to use XmlSitemap::Index.
Index is just a collection of links to all the website's sitemaps.
Usage:
map = XmlSitemap::Map.new('domain.com')
map.add 'page'
index = XmlSitemap::Index.new
# or if you want the URLs to use HTTPS
index = XmlSitemap::Index.new(:secure => true)
# or via shortcut
index = XmlSitemap.index
# Add a map to the index
index.add(map)
# Render as XML
index.render
# Render XML to the output file
index.render_to('/path/to/file.xml')To execute test suite run:
bundle exec rake test
