# @push.rocks/smartfeed
create and parse feeds
## Install
To install `@push.rocks/smartfeed`, you need to have Node.js installed on your machine. After setting up Node.js, run the following command in your terminal:
```bash
npm install @push.rocks/smartfeed --save
```
## Usage
`@push.rocks/smartfeed` is a powerful library for creating and parsing RSS and Atom feeds with ease. It leverages TypeScript for type safety and improved developer experience. Let's explore how you can utilize this library in your projects.
### Creating Feeds
You can create feeds by instantiating a `Smartfeed` object and configuring feed options and items. Heres an example of how to create an RSS feed:
```typescript
import { Smartfeed, IFeedOptions, IFeedItem } from '@push.rocks/smartfeed';
// Create a new Smartfeed instance
const mySmartfeed = new Smartfeed();
// Define feed options
const feedOptions: IFeedOptions = {
domain: 'example.com',
title: 'Example News',
description: 'Latest news from Example',
category: 'News',
company: 'Example Company',
companyEmail: 'contact@example.com',
companyDomain: 'https://example.com',
};
// Create a new feed with options
const myFeed = mySmartfeed.createFeed(feedOptions);
// Add items to the feed
const feedItem: IFeedItem = {
title: 'Breaking News: TypeScript Adoption Soars!',
timestamp: Date.now(), // Use current timestamp
url: 'https://example.com/news/typescript-adoption',
authorName: 'Jane Doe',
imageUrl: 'https://example.com/images/typescript-news.jpg',
content: 'In a recent survey, TypeScript has seen a significant increase in adoption among developers...',
};
// Add the item to the feed
myFeed.addItem(feedItem);
// Export the feed as an RSS string
const rssFeedString = myFeed.exportRssFeedString();
console.log(rssFeedString);
```
This code snippet creates an RSS feed for a news article. You can customize the `IFeedOptions` and `IFeedItem` objects to match your content.
### Parsing Feeds
`@push.rocks/smartfeed` also allows parsing of RSS and Atom feeds from a string or URL. Heres how you can parse a feed:
```typescript
import { Smartfeed } from '@push.rocks/smartfeed';
// Create a new Smartfeed instance
const mySmartfeed = new Smartfeed();
// Parsing a feed from a string
const rssString = `your RSS feed string here`;
mySmartfeed.parseFeedFromString(rssString).then(feed => {
console.log(feed);
});
// Parsing a feed from a URL
const feedUrl = 'https://example.com/rss';
mySmartfeed.parseFeedFromUrl(feedUrl).then(feed => {
console.log(feed);
});
```
This example demonstrates how to parse an RSS feed from a given string or URL. The `parseFeedFromString` and `parseFeedFromUrl` methods return a Promise that resolves to the parsed feed object.
### Comprehensive Feed Management
With `@push.rocks/smartfeed`, you have full control over creating and managing feeds. Beyond basic scenarios shown above, you can create feeds from arrays of articles, customize feed and item properties extensively, and export feeds in different formats (RSS, Atom, JSON).
For instance, to create a feed from an array of article objects conforming to `@tsclass/tsclass`'s `IArticle` interface, you can use the `createFeedFromArticleArray` method. Additionally, explore different export options available on the `Feed` class to suit your needs, whether it's RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0, or JSON Feed 1.0.
Remember, `@push.rocks/smartfeed` is designed to streamline feed creation and parsing with a focus on type safety and developer experience. Explore its comprehensive API to leverage the full potential of feed management in your applications.
For complete usage and all available methods, refer to the TypeScript declarations and source code available in the package. Happy coding!
