# RSS for Node
Fast and simple Javascript-based RSS generator/builder for Node projects.
## Install
$ npm install rss
## Tests
Use [nodeunit](https://github.com/caolan/nodeunit) to run the tests.
$ npm install nodeunit
$ nodeunit test
## Usage
var RSS = require('rss');
// new feed
var feed = new RSS(feed_options);
// add your items/entries/articles.
feed.item(item_options)
.item(item_options);
// cache the result
var xml = feed.xml();
### feed_options
var RSS = require('rss');
// new feed
var rss = new RSS({
title: 'title',
description: 'description',
feed_url: 'http://example.com/rss.xml',
site_url: 'http://example.com',
image_url: 'http://example.com/icon.png',
author: 'Dylan Greene'
});
### item_options
rss.item({
title: 'item title',
description: 'use this for the content. It can include html.',
url: 'http://example.com/article4?this&that', // link to the item
guid: '1123', // optional - defaults to url
author: 'Guest Author', // optional - defaults to feed author property
date: 'May 27, 2012' // any format that js Date can parse.
});
### Methods
* _item(item_options)_ - add an rss item, article, entry etc.
* _xml([indent])_ - return the xml. If you pass in true it will use four spaces for indenting. If you prefer
tabs use \t instead of true.
## Notes
* You do not need to escape anything. This module will escape characters when necessary.
## Upcoming features
* Atom support
* Feed validation
* More customization
