Manual Entries

Add a single, or multiple items to the sitemap, using code similar to the following in a service provider's boot() (e.g. AppServiceProvider) method.

Using registerItem() to register a single item.

$this->callAfterResolving(
    AltSitemapController::class,
    function ($altSitemapController) {
        $altSitemapController->registerItem(
            [
                '/url-1',
            ]
        );
    }
);

Using registerItems() to register multiple items at once.

$this->callAfterResolving(
     AltSitemapController::class,
     function ($altSitemapController) {
         $altSitemapController->registerItems(
             [
                 [
                     '/url-1',
                 ],
                 [
                     '/url-2',
                     Carbon::create(2024,10,23,12,20,0, 'UTC'),
                 ],
                 [
                     '/url-3',
                     Carbon::create(2024,10,23,12,20,0, 'UTC'),
                     0.8
                 ],
             ]
         );
