eleventy-plugin-rss

A pack of Eleventy plugins for generating Atom and JSON feeds using the Nunjucks templating engine.

Note: the plugin is called RSS but does not technically include an example of an RSS feed. Generally feed readers that support RSS also support Atom. If you’d like to contribute an example, a pull request would be welcome!

Installation

Available on npm.

npm install @ransomware/eleventy-plugin-rss --save-dev

Open up your Eleventy config file (probably .eleventy.js) and use addPlugin:

const pluginRss = require("@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss");
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(pluginRss);
};

Usage

See sample/feed.njk for an example Atom feed template or sample/feed.json for an example JSON feed template.
