Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

rss-node-mongo

see module on NPM

RNM is a Node JS module to request and parse RSS feeds and save the contents to Mongo DB. It makes sure only the new content is appended to your collection. You only provide the RSS URI and your database connection string and it is done.

Important Note: This module is only for version 8 of Node JS. We are working on a new version with backward compatibility

Usage

const RSSToMongo = require('rss-node-mongo');

const rss = new RSSToMongo(properties)

rss.work(function (err, success) {
    if (!err) {
         console.log(success.saved + " items were inserted")
    } else {
         console.error(err)
    }
})

properties

This parameter can have the following properties:

  • rss: The RSS URL

  • db: The mongo db connection string (if not provided it creates a database named "rss" under mongodb://localhost:27017)

  • collection: Name for the collection where items will be saved (if not provided then it creates a collection named "feeds")

success

This object has the following properties:

  • saved: Number of items that were inserted to database

  • total: Total number of items from the RSS

  • ignored: Number of items that were ignored because they were already in the database collection

Further

You can also pass a function as a second parameter of the class that will be called for each retrieved item.

const rss = new RSSToMongo(properties, function(item) { 
	// The item will be inserted with the changes you make here to the database. 

	item._id = item.link; // For example, you might want your _id to be something else
	item["PutNewPropertyNameHere"] = "I'm additional": // Or Add an additional property
	// Or remove special characters from the item content
})

Installation

Install the dependency

npm install rss-node-mongo
