syndication

Syndication

This is a simple module that enables the feedparser with Promise. It depends on the following libraries:-

• request
• feedparser

#Installation

For the installation you can get along with the following

npm install syndication --save

The dependencies the above module have is explained below:-

Request A module for making HTTP request. Basically a HTTP client. This helps to fetch the RSS/ATOM/RDF URLS and helps in parsing the same.

Feedparser This module adds methods for RSS, Atom, and RDF feed parsing in node.js using Isaac Schlueter's sax parser.

#Current Features

• Simple Parsing using URL's, the scenario is mentioned below

  var Syndication = require("syndication");
  var feeds = new Syndication();
  var feedPromise = feeds.fetch('http://thing.live/rss');
  feedPromise.then((feed) => {
    console.log(feed);
  }).catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });
  

• Using Promise.all() to resolve multiple Promises for fetching feeds.

  var Syndication = require("syndication");
  var feeds = new Syndication();
  var fetchedFeeds = feeds.fetch('http://thing.live/rss');
  var fetchedFeeds1 = feeds.fetch('http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss');
  
  /*Using Promise.all() to Resolve*/
  Promise.all([
      fetchedFeeds,
      fetchedFeeds1
  ]).then((val) => {
      console.log(val);
  }).catch((error) => {
      console.log(error)
  });
  

• Using fetchAll(options) to get an Array of Promises that can be resolved

  var Syndication = require('syndication');
  
  var feeds = new Syndication();
  var fetchedFeedsPromise=feeds.fetchAll([
      'http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/INtopNews',
      'http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/INbusinessNews',
      'http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/INsouthAsiaNews',
      'http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/INworldNews'
      ]);
  Promise.all(fetchedFeedsPromise).then((item)=>{
      console.log(item);
  }).catch((e)=>{
      console.log(error)
  });
