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)
   });
