README

StackRobots is a middleware for StackPHP. It provides a default robots.txt for non-production environments.

Install Via Composer

{
    "require": {
        "league/stack-robots": "~1.0"
    }
}

Usage

StackRobots is a very simple middleware. By default it looks at the SERVER_ENV environment variable, and if the SERVER_ENV does not equal production, it captures the response and sets an X-Robots-Tag header with a value of noindex, nofollow, noarchive.

When you push the middleware on to the stack, you can pass 2 additional parameters, $env and $envVar. The $env parameter is the environment in which you want this middleware to not do anything, typically production. The $envVar parameter is the environment variable that holds the environment of the current server; it defaults to SERVER_ENV.

If the value of SERVER_ENV matches the value that is passed, this middleware will just pass control on to the next middleware. However, if it does not match, then StackRobots will set the X-Robots-Tag. Additionally, if the incoming request is for your /robots.txt file, then StackRobots will stop the request and send the following response.

return new Response("User-Agent: *\nDisallow: /", 200, array('Content-Type' => 'text/plain'));

And this is what the browser receives.

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

More info on the X-Robots-Tag is available here.

Example

include_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use League\StackRobots\Robots;

$app = new Stack\CallableHttpKernel(function (Request $request) {
    return new Response('Hello World!');
});

putenv('SERVER_ENV=dev');

$app = (new Stack\Builder)
    ->push('League\\StackRobots\\Robots')
    ->resolve($app);

Stack\run($app);
