A simple Laravel 5 service provider for including the SimplePie library.
The Laravel 5 Feeds Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the
willvincent/feeds
package in your project's composer.json
.
{
"require": {
"willvincent/feeds": "1.0.*"
}
}
To use the Feeds Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application.
Find the providers
key in your config/app.php
and register the Service Provider.
'providers' => [
// ...
willvincent\Feeds\FeedsServiceProvider::class,
],
Find the aliases
key in your config/app.php
and register the Facade.
'aliases' => [
// ...
'Feeds' => willvincent\Feeds\Facades\FeedsFacade::class,
],
Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="willvincent\Feeds\FeedsServiceProvider"
to publish the default config file, edit caching setting withing the resulting config/feeds.php
file as desired.
See SimplePie Documentation for full API usage documentation.
The make() accepts 3 paramaters, the first parameter is an array of feed URLs, the second parameter is the max number of items to be returned per feed, and while the third parameter is a boolean which you can set to force to read unless content type not a valid RSS.
$feed = Feeds::make('http://feed/url/goes/here');
Note: In Laravel 5, Facades must either be prefixed with a backslash, or brought into scope with a use [facadeName]
declaration.
