This is everything you have to do to prepare your first static sheet/page collection.
Installation
Home
This will be an example for a simple static page - like your home/front page.
1
touch ./resources/content/static/home.md
2
touch ./views/content/home.blade.php
3
touch ./app/Pages/Home.php
Copied!
These three files will represent your home page. The markdown file will hold the data/content, the view will render it and the PHP class will validate it and provide additional features.

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;
6
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
7
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasContent;
8
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasSlug;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasUrl;

​

class Home extends PageData implements Routable
12
{
13
    use PageHasSlug, PageHasContent, PageHasUrl;
14
​
15
    public function getUrl(): string
16
    {
17
        return route('static.home');
18
    }

}
Copied!

@extends('master')

@section('content')

    {!! $contents !!}

@endsection
Copied!
Now you have to add the route to your routes/web.php
routes/web.php
1
<?php
2
​
3
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Facades\PageFactory;
4
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
5
​
6
Route::get('/', function () {
7
    return PageFactory::makeFromSheetName('static', 'home');
8
})->name('static.home');
Copied!
Content
Sitemap
To add your page to the sitemap and return it if someone access /sitemap.xml you have to do the following.
routes/web.php
1
<?php
2
​
3
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Facades\SitemapFactory;
4
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
5
​
6
Route::get('/sitemap.xml', function () {
7
    return SitemapFactory::makeFromSheetList(['static']);
8
})->name('sitemap');
Copied!
This will add all pages in the static collection to your sitemap.
Sitemap
Blog
One of the most common examples for a page collection is a blog. You need an index page and a detail one for every article.

Now you are done. If you want to add a new post just add a new markdown file to the blog collection and fill all required data.
Feed
After you now have your first collection of same type pages (blog) it's useful to put them in a feed and link it in your HTML.
1
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Feed\FeedServiceProvider" --tag=config
Copied!
config/feed.php
routes/web.php
master.blade.php

<?php

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\FeedFactory;

return [

    'feeds' => [
7
        'blog.atom' => [
8
            'items' => [FeedFactory::class.'@makeFromSheetCollectionName', 'blog'],
9
            'url' => 'feed/blog.atom',
10
            'title' => 'Stancy Blog Feed',

            'description' => 'This is the Stancy Laravel demo blog feed.',

            'language' => 'en-US',

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
7
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
8
use Spatie\Feed\FeedItem;
9
​
10
class Post extends PageData implements Routable
11
{
12
    // ...
13
​
14
    public function toFeedItem(): FeedItem
15
    {
16
        return FeedItem::create()
17
            ->id($this->slug)
18
            ->link($this->getUrl())
19
            ->title($this->title)
20
            ->author('Gummibeer, [email protected]')
21
            ->updated($this->date)
22
            ->summary(Str::words(strip_tags($this->contents), 50, ''));
23
    }
24
​
25
    // ...
26
}
Copied!
And you are done. You will have two feeds (RSS and Atom) now. If you only want one just remove the other one from the config.
Feed Atom/RSS
