    ],
]
  • Add a new module in modules section of your application's configuration file, for example:
'modules' => [
    'rss' => [
        'class' => 'himiklab\rss\Rss',
        'feeds' => [

    'rules' => [
        ['pattern' => '<id:rss>', 'route' => 'rss/default/index', 'suffix' => '.xml'],
    ],
],
  • Add a new <link> tag to your <head> tag, for example:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS feed" href="/rss.xml" />

For example:

...
public function beforeSave($insert)
{
    if (parent::beforeSave($insert)) {
        if ($insert) {
            $rss = Yii::$app->getModule('rss');
            $rssItem = $rss->createNewItem();

            $rssItem->title = $this->title;
            $rssItem->description = $this->description;
            $rssItem->link = Url::to($this->url, true);
            $rssItem->pubDate = time();

            return $rss->addItemToFeed('rss', $rssItem);
        }
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

public function afterDelete()
{
    parent::afterDelete();
    $rss = Yii::$app->getModule('rss');
    
    $rss->deleteItems('rss', ['link' => Url::to($this->url, true)]);
}
