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

Installation

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

composer require rwslinkman/simple-rss-feed-renderer

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);
