Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Usage

$robots = Spatie\Robots\Robots::create();

$robots->mayIndex('https://www.spatie.be/nl/admin');

$robots->mayFollowOn('https://www.spatie.be/nl/admin');

$robotsTxt = new RobotsTxt('
  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /admin
  Crawl-delay: 1.5
');
$robotsTxt->allows('/admin', 'google'); // false
$robotsTxt->whyDisallows('/admin', 'google')[0]->userAgent; // '*'
$robotsTxt->crawlDelay('/admin', '*'); // '1.5'

You can also specify a user agent:

$robots = Spatie\Robots\Robots::create('UserAgent007');

By default, Robots will look for a robots.txt file on https://host.com/robots.txt. Another location can be specified like so:

$robots = Spatie\Robots\Robots::create()
    ->withTxt('https://www.spatie.be/robots-custom.txt');

$robots = Spatie\Robots\Robots::create()
    ->withTxt(__DIR__ . '/public/robots.txt');
