Hi friends this is sequel of my another article How To Generate Sitemap in PHP Laravel. As I had discussed that for every website SEO
plays key and vital role for Google Page ranking.
If your working on Wordpress, Drupal, October CMS, Joomla or any other CMS then generating RSS
is on tip of your fingers. But it will be bit confusing or difficult to generate in PHP Laravel
. In this article I will show you how easily you can generate RSS
feed in PHP Laravel
.
Hope you guys have a Blog
or CMS
developed in Laravel
where you want to implement this RSS feed. And if your looking to host and play for free credits then you can setup your server with DigitalOcean, Linode or any other cloud platform
spatie/laravel-feed
PackageRun the following composer
command to install the spaite/larvel-feed
package.
composer require spatie/laravel-feed
This will be installed in your vendor
folder and added in require
key of composer.json
which will be as follows
"require": {
"spatie/laravel-feed": "^2.6",
}
web.php
Thanks to the Spatie team this comes all built in. Its as simple as the following command
/** In web.php */
Route::feeds();
feed.php
config fileOnce you run the following command it will generate feed.php
in config/feed.php
where you can do few customisation, which I will explain later.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Feed\FeedServiceProvider" --tag="config"
For example for my Posts
which has Post
model I want to generate the NewsItem
, so first let me generate new model for it via PHP Artisan command
php artisan make:model NewsItem
This creates NewsItem
model in App/NewItem
path.
Now paste the following code in NewsItem
model
<?php
namespace App;
use Post;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Spatie\Feed\Feedable;
use Spatie\Feed\FeedItem;
class NewsItem extends Post implements Feedable
{
public function toFeedItem()
{
/** This is a standard FeedItem which must return collection and I am just passing the data that is required for it. Feel free to changes as per you convince */
return FeedItem::create([
'id' => env('APP_URL').'/posts/'.$this->slug,
'title' => $this->title,
'summary' => $this->summary,
'updated' => $this->published_at,
'link' => env('APP_URL').'/posts/'.$this->slug,
'author' => $this->user->name,
]);
}
/** This function is responsible to get all your NewsItem feeds. This NewsItems gets the data from the previous created feeds. */
public static function getFeedItems()
{
/** I am getting only the published details */
return NewsItem::published()->orderBy('published_at', 'DESC')->get();
}
}
config/feed.php
In config/feed.php
we can configure the feed fetching function
, URL
of feed and views
.
'items' => 'App\NewsItem@getFeedItems', /** This function we can created in Step 4 */
'url' => '/feed', /** We can fetch the feed from APP_URL/feed */
'title' => 'StackCoder',
'description' => 'The description of the feed.',
'language' => 'en-US',
items - Where to get the feed items from
url - From where you need to access the feeds
title, description, language as per you convenience.
Blade
PagesAdd the following line in your blade in head
section
<head>
@include('feed::links')
</head>
Or you can even add the following html link
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="News" href="/feed">
If you have followed the above steps properly and when you go to your http://project_url/feed
then you must be able to see the XML
file

series which I will be releasing soon. Meanwhile if your looking out for generating the sitemap
