Feedr Plugin for DocPad

This plugin is able to pull in remote json and xml feeds, convert them to JSON data, and expose them to @feedr.feeds[feedName] for your templates, via the Feedr module.

Install

docpad install feedr

Usage

Setup

First we have to tell Feedr which feeds it should retrieve, you can do this by adding the following to your website's docpad configuration file:

plugins:
	feedr:
		feeds:
			twitter:
				url: "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=balupton&count=20&include_entities=true&include_rts=true"

			someOtherFeedName:
				url: "someOtherFeedUrl"

Feedr can also clean up responses like "key": {"_content": "the actual value"} (as used on Flickr) to the cleaner "key": 'the actual value". To enable this set clean to true inside your feed configuration like so:

flickrUser:
	url: "http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.people.getInfo&api_key=#{FLICKR_API_KEY}&user_id=#{FLICKR_USER_ID}&format=json&nojsoncallback=1"
	clean: true

Rendering

Then inside your templates, we would do something like the following to render the items:

• Using Eco

  <ul>
  	<% for tweet in @feedr.feeds.twitter: %>
  		<% continue  if tweet.in_reply_to_user_id %>
  		<li datetime="<%=tweet.created_at%>">
  			<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/<%=tweet.user.screen_name%>/status/<%=tweet.id_str%>" title="View on Twitter">
  				<%=tweet.text%>
  			</a>
  		</li>
  	<% end %>
  </ul>

• Using CoffeeKup

  ul ->
  	for tweet in @feedr.feeds.twitter
  		continue  if tweet.in_reply_to_user_id
  		li datetime: tweet.created_at, ->
  			a href: "https://twitter.com/#!/#{tweet.user.screen_name}/status/#{tweet.id_str}", title: "View on Twitter", ->
  				tweet.text
