{{feed}}

Handlebars helper for generating entries for RSS or atom feeds.

If you find a bug or have a feature request, please create an issue.

Installation

Use npm to install the package:

npm i handlebars-helper-feed --save-dev

Use bower to install the package:

bower install handlebars-helper-feed --save-dev

Usage Examples

With the helper registered, you may now begin using it in your templates:

{{#feed src="pages/*.hbs"}}
<entry>
  <title>{{@title}}</title>
  <link href="{{site.homepage}}/{{@slug}}/"/>
  <updated>{{@date}}</updated>
  <id>{{site.homepage}}/{{@slug}}</id>
  <content type="html">{{@content}}</content>
</entry>
{{/feed}}

Example

This example also makes use of handlebars-helper-datetime (npm i handlebars-helper-datetime --save):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <link type="application/atom+xml" href="http://asemble.io/feed/" rel="self"/>
  <link href="{{site.homepage}}/atom.xml" rel="self"/>
  <link href="{{site.homepage}}/"/>

  <title>{{site.title}}</title>
  <updated>{{datetime}}</updated>
  <id>{{site.homepage}}</id>
  <author>
    <name>{{pkg.author.name}}</name>
    <email>{{pkg.author.email}}</email>
  </author>
  <rights>Copyright (c) 2012-{{now '%Y'}}, {{pkg.author.name}}. All rights reserved.</rights>

  <!-- feed entries -->
  {{#feed src="pages/*.hbs"}}
  <entry>
    <title>{{@title}}</title>
    <link href="{{site.homepage}}/{{@slug}}/"/>
    <updated>{{@date}}</updated>
    <id>{{site.homepage}}/{{@slug}}</id>
    <content type="html"></content>
  </entry>
  {{/feed}}
</feed>

Usage with Assemble

The easiest way to register the helper with Assemble is to add the module to both devDependencies and keywords in your project's package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "handlebars-helper-feed": "*"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "handlebars-helper-feed"
  ]
}

Alternatively, to register the helper explicitly in the Gruntfile:

grunt.initConfig({
  assemble: {
    options: {
      // the 'handlebars-helper-feed' npm module must also be listed in
      // devDependencies for assemble to automatically resolve the helper
      helpers: ['handlebars-helper-feed', 'foo/*.js']
    },
    files: {
      'dist/': ['src/templates/*.hbs']
    }
  }
});
