Laravel — create a simple sitemap.xml

Create a Sitemap Controller

php artisan make:controller SitemapController

Open SitemapController.php to generate our index. For this example I used Post model:

public function index()
{
  $posts = Post::orderBy('updated_at', 'desc')->get();

  return response()->view('sitemap', [
      'posts' => $posts,
  ])->header('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
}

Create a blade template for sitemap:

'; ?>

        xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">    
    @foreach ($posts as $post)
        
            https://limitless.pro/blog/{{ $post->slug }}
            {{ $post->published_at->tz('UTC')->toAtomString() }}
            weekly
            0.8
        
    @endforeach

Add routes

Route::get('/sitemap', 'SitemapController@index');
Route::get('/sitemap.xml', 'SitemapController@index');

Done.
