Easy RSS

Symfony bundle for managing RSS feed just add items and set limits and bundle handles storing items and deleting old ones automatically.

Installation

Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Applications that use Symfony Flex

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

$ composer require fabricio872/easy-rss-bundle

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require fabricio872/easy-rss-bundle

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

// config/bundles.php
return [
    // ...
    Fabricio872\RandomMessageBundle\EasyRssBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configuration options

# config/services.yaml

# ...

# Default configuration for extension with alias: "easy_rss"
easy_rss:

 # Maximum feeds that would be stored. (0 to unlimited)
 max_feeds:            10

# ...

Usage

First of all we need to create an endpoint on which we can connect RSS reader:

// src/Controller/RssController.php

//...

    #[Route('/rss.xml', name: 'app_rss_feed')]
    public function index(EasyRss $easyRss): Response
    {
        return $easyRss->getResponse('Title for RSS feed');
    }
    
//...

Then you can start adding feeds:

• create Feed object:

// src/any-place-in-your-project

//...

    $feed = new \Fabricio872\EasyRssBundle\DTO\Feed();
    $feed->setTitle('My first post');
    $feed->setDescription('This is my first post.');

//...

• publish feed:

// src/any-place-in-your-project

//...

    public function someMethodWithDependencyInjection(\Fabricio872\EasyRssBundle\EasyRss $easyRss)
    {
        $easyRss->setMaxFeeds(); // OPTIONAL this option is override for what you have set in config
        
        $easyRss->add($feed); // this will put your feed to DB and remove old feeds if there are more than MaxFeeds
    }

//...

And that's it if your page has only one RSS feed channel than you are done.

More than one RSS channel

create more endpoints for each channel

// src/Controller/RssController.php

//...

    #[Route('/rss_one.xml', name: 'app_rss_one_feed')]
    public function rss_one(EasyRss $easyRss): Response
    {
        return $easyRss->getResponse('Title for first RSS feed', 'first'); // second parameter is channel identifier
    }

    #[Route('/rss_two.xml', name: 'app_rss_two_feed')]
    public function rss_two(EasyRss $easyRss): Response
    {
        return $easyRss->getResponse('Title for second RSS feed', 'second'); // second parameter is channel identifier
    }
    
//...

create feed with defined channel

// src/any-place-in-your-project

//...

    $feed = new \Fabricio872\EasyRssBundle\DTO\Feed();
    $feed->setTitle('My first post');
    $feed->setChannel('first'); // name of the channel has to be same as defined in controller
    $feed->setDescription('This is my first post.');

//...

adding feed with defined channel is same as shown above.
