SilverStripe XML Feed helper
============================

[](#silverstripe-xml-feed-helper)

Helper functions to retrieve external XML feed, cache and render into templates.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- silverstripe/cms ^4.3.x
- silverstripe/framework ^4.3.x

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require toastnz/xmlfeed
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configure the default Cache Lifetime or default feed URL:

```
Toast\XMLFeed\Feed:
  CacheLifetime: 3600
  URL: "https://external.feed.url/feed.xml"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Toast\XMLFeed;

$feed = Feed::get($url = null, $xmlPath = null, $cacheLifetime = 300, $asArray = false, $flushCache = false);
```

By default an ArrayList will be returned, which can be rendered directly into a template.

Note: you must check the raw contents of the XML feed to identify fields names.

Example
-------

[](#example)

XML:

```

      Sed in viverra dui. Nullam vel congue massa.
      Ut id nisi vitae massa consectetur dictum quis sed sapien. At euismod turpis

      Aliquam dictum finibus magna
      Cras mattis non elit sit amet vulputate. Nunc at metus sed sapien eros.

```

PHP:

```
use Toast\XMLFeed;

...

class PageController extends ContentController
{
  public function getNewsFeed()
  {
    return Feed::get('https://newswebsite.url/news-feed.xml', 'RSS.Items');
  }
}
```

Template:

```

  $Headline.XML
  $Summary.XML

```
