Gatsby Plugin Feed

A plugin for GatsbyJS to generate an RSS, Atom and JSON feeds.

Why use this instead of the official one?

It generates more feeds than just plain RSS. It also attempts to follow a similar API to the official one to make it easier to transition.

Uses Feed to generate the feeds.

API based on the original gatsby-plugin-feed

Installation

npm i @darth-knoppix/gatsby-plugin-feed

or

yarn add @darth-knoppix/gatsby-plugin-feed
