Usage

The two main types provided are RSSFeed and FeedItem

Constructing a Feed

To create a new RSS feed, the RSSFeed class can be used and takes the following parameters:

const feed = new RSSFeed({
    title: 'Awesome Feed about Cats and Dogs',
    description: 'This is a feed about Cats vs Dogs',
    link: 'https://cats-v-dogs.com/rss',
})

The rest of the feed properties that can be set are:

feedAuthor: FeedAuthor:

    const author = new FeedAuthor({
      name: 'Giomari Martinez',
      email: 'gigi@example.com'
      link: 'giomari-m.com'
    })
    feed.feedAuthor = author

categories: string[]:
```
feed.categories = ['cats', 'dogs']
```
updatedAt: Date:
```
feed.updatedAt = new Date()
```
language: string
```
feed.language = 'en'
```
image: string This represents the image url for the feed:
```
feed.image = 'https://example.com/cat-v-dogs.jpg'
```

Adding Feed Items

Feed can be added to a feed's items property - an array of type FeedItem[]

    description: '', // string (optional) - the image description
    credit: '', // string (optional) - can be something like 'Image couretesy of Unsplash'
})
const feedItem = new FeedItem(
    // Required
