Syndication

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

1. request
2. 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

1. 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);
   });

2. 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)
   });

3. 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)
   });
