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: '[email protected]'
        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[]

Each item should follow the signature of FeedItem:

const feedImage = new FeedItemImage({
    url: 'https://unsplash.com/photos/EV9_vVMZTcg', // Image url
    width: 1280, // number - image width
    height: 720, // number - image height
    thumbnail: 'https://unsplash.com/photos/EV9_vVMZTcg', // (optional)image thumbnail url (optional)
    description: '', // string (optional) - the image description
    credit: '', // string (optional) - can be something like 'Image couretesy of Unsplash'
})
const feedItem = new FeedItem(
    // Required
    'In the subways, cats and dogs have to play nice', // the item title
    'https://https://cats-v-dogs.com/where-it-all-began', // Link to the item
    'A story of what really happened', // Item Summary/description
    'The story begins', // Content
    // Optional
    new Date(), // (optional) the publication date of the item - defaults to new Date()
    'https://https://cats-v-dogs.com/assets/where-it-all-began.jpg'[author], // (optional) FeedAuthor[] - authors
