Quick Start

First, add the module:

var Feed = require('feed');

Insert feed-specific information:

var feed = new Feed({
    title:       'Feed Title',
    description: 'This is my personnal feed!',
    link:        'http://example.com/',
    image:       'http://example.com/image.png',
    copyright:   'All rights reserved 2013, John Doe',
    updated:     new Date(2013, 06, 14),                // optional, default = today 
    
    author: {
        name:    'John Doe',
        email:   'johndoe@example.com',
        link:    'https://example.com/johndoe'
    }
});

Insert items using the item function:

for(var key in posts) {
    feed.addItem({
        title:          posts[key].title,
        link:           posts[key].url,
        description:    posts[key].description,
        author: [
            {
                name:   'Jane Doe',
                email:  'janedoe@example.com',
                link:   'https://example.com/janedoe'
            },
            {
                name:   'Joe Smith',
                email:  'joesmith@example.com',
                link:   'https://example.com/joesmith'
            }
        ],
        contributor: [
            {
                name:   'Shawn Kemp',
                email:  'shawnkemp@example.com',
                link:   'https://example.com/shawnkemp'
            },
            {
                name:   'Reggie Miller',
                email:  'reggiemiller@example.com',
                link:   'https://example.com/reggiemiller'
            }
        ],
        date:           posts[key].date,
        image:          posts[key].image
    });
}

Insert categories using:

feed.addCategory('Technologie');

Insert contributors using:

feed.addContributor({
    name:   'Johan Cruyff',
    email:  'johancruyff@example.com',
    link:   'https://example.com/johancruyff'
});
