Producing Feeds

To actually be able to produce any feeds, your models must implement ScubaClick\Feeder\Contracts\FeedInterface. It consists of only one method, getFeedItem($format), which should return the following array:

[
    'title'       => $title,
    'author'      => $author,
    'link'        => $link,
    'pubDate'     => $pubdate,
    'description' => $description,
];

Usage

You can use the feeder class like so, e.g. in a controller:

$items = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
	->take(10)
	->get();

return Feeder::setChannel([
	    'title'       => 'Feed title',
	    'description' => 'Feed description',
	])
	->setFormat('atom')
	->setItems($items)
	->fetch();
