punch-rss-generator

Generate your RSS file along with Punch blog content handler.

This plugin is intended to work with punch blog content handler.

Installation

npm install punch-rss-generator

Note about dependencies

This will install following packages as peer dependencies (directly in your node_modules directory):

• punch as it will use its default content handler
• punch-blog-content-handler as it's a side-kick for this plugin

Usage

In your config.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "generator_hooks": {
      "rss_generator": "punch-rss-generator"
    }
  },
 
  "blog": {
    "rss": {
      // RSS configuration
    }
  }
}

The RSS file will be created at generation time. As generators are not called by punch server you'll have to call punch generate to see it built.

Configuration

Here are the different options you can set in config.blog.rss:

{
  // If set to true, this will embed a parsed version of your blog contents
  // If false, it will simply take the brut markdown
