SimpleRssFeedRenderer
=====================

[](#simplerssfeedrenderer)

Basic object-to-RSS renderer for hosting an RSS feed

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Add `simple-rss-feed-renderer` to your dependencies using Composer:

```
composer require rwslinkman/simple-rss-feed-renderer
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Please find below an example of how to use `SimpleXmlFeedRenderer`.
The `FeedBuilder` can be used to create data objects.
Most properties in the RSS 2.0 specification are configurable.
Not all configurable properties are shown in the example below.

```
// Article content loaded in a way preferred by you
$articlesList = array(...);

$feedBuilder = (new FeedBuilder())
    ->withChannelTitle("Fun facts")
    ->withChannelDescription("Daily fun facts for you to read")
    ->withChannelUrl("https://funfacts.nl/articles");

foreach ($articlesList as $article) {
    $feedBuilder
        ->addItem()
        ->withTitle($article->getTitle())
        ->withDescription($article->getSubtitle())
        ->withLink("https://funfacts.nl/articles/" . $article->getId())
        ->withPubDate($article->getCreatedAt())
        ->buildItem();
}
$rssFeed = $feedBuilder->build();

// Don't forget to set "application/rss+xml" for the "Content-Type" header
$renderer = new SimpleRssFeedRenderer();
$renderer->configurePrettyPrint(true);
$renderer->configureValidateBeforeRender(true);
$rssXml = $renderer->render($rssFeed);
```

When configured, the renderer will perform RSS 2.0 validations on all provided data in the `RssFeed` object.
The `RssValidator` can also be run separately:

```
$feedBuilder = (new FeedBuilder())
    ->withChannelTitle("Fun facts")
    ->withChannelDescription("Daily fun facts for you to read")
    ->withChannelUrl("https://funfacts.nl/articles");
$rssFeed = $feedBuilder->build();

// it will throw InvalidRssException containing the ValdationReport in case of errors
$validator = new RssValidator();
$validator->validate($rssFeed);
```

Other
=====

[](#other)

Run `phpunit` tests with or without coverage:

```
./scripts/run_phpunit.sh
./scripts/run_phpunit_coverage.sh
```

Mutation tests can be run using the [Infection](https://infection.github.io/guide/installation.html) framework.
Install the framework locally as described on the website.
After installing, run the following command from the project root folder:

```
infection --threads=10
```
