custom-keystonev4-rss v1.0.4

README

This package provides simple RSS Feed generation for your KeystoneJS data models.

What is this repository for?

This is a first crude implementation of creating RSS feeds for models within Keystone. KeystoneJS is a powerful CMS/Web App platform, which can be used to create blog-esq content feeds.

Inside index.js add the following:

```
var keystone = require('keystone');
var rss = require('keystone-rss');

/* Setup Route Bindings */
exports = module.exports = function (app) {

    // Your other middleware/dependencies go here

    /* RSS Feeds */
    app.get('/feed/url.xml', function (req, res) {
        rss.create(keystone, req, res, {
            /* The model that is the subject of the feed */
            model: 'Post',
            
            /* The category that is being displayed in this feed */
		    category: 'categoryname',

            /* RSS Feed meta data */
            meta: {
                title: 'Feed Title',
                description: 'Description of feed',
                feed_url: 'https://feed.url',
                site_url: 'https://site.url',
                image_url: 'https://feed.image.url',
                managingEditor: 'someone',
                webMaster: 'someone else',
                copyright: '2017 You',
                language: 'en',
                categories: ['Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3'],
                pubDate: 'Jan 1, 2017 12:00:00 GMT',
            },

            /* The url prefix for posts within the feed (the post slug is appended to this) */
            url: 'http://site.url/post/',
        });
    });

    /* You can repeat the above code to create multiple, separate feeds */

};
```

3. For each feed item it expects:
   • title
   • content.extended
   • slug
   • publishedDate
   • state
   • author(s)
   • image.secure_url

state is used to filter drafts, and the rest are parsed into xml as:

title:  post.title,
description: post.content.brief,
url: feedUrl + post.slug,
date: post.publishedDate,
author: post.name[1].first + ' ' + post.name[1].last + ', ' + post.name[2].first + ' ' + post.name[2].last ...
enclosure: post.image.secure_url
