xml-feed-generator

an RSS/atom feed generator for my personal site 🐱

disclaimer

this script is not meant to be used as is.

expect to do a lot of modification to fit your needs, as this was created specifically for my site structure and blog markup.

how it basically works

  1. match files in a specificied directory.
  2. load the DOM of each file.
  3. parse values retrieved from the following strings/HTML elements, as children of a feed <entry>:
    • <h2> as <title>
    • the datetime attribute of <time> as <updated>
    • <element class="p-summary"> as <summary>
    • <element class="e-content"> (or <element class="entry" for older markup) as <content>
    • /path/to/blog/entry as <id>/<link>
  4. output all of the above in a new file (named articles.xml).

usage

configure a cron job on your server to run this script automatically every now and then, and voila~
