html-to-rss

This project aims to parse HTML page and generate a RSS feed from it. That's it. RSS is a great thing to have, whenever something changes in a website you will be notified. I don't want to go and check websites regularly. A computer/mobile device should do this, not me.

Installation

Get the latest release.

Usage

Environment variables:

• KEMAL_ENV: (Optional) It's because this project uses Kemal. Options; development, production, test.
• HTMLTORSS_HOST: (Optional) Hostname for generated urls. Example; HTMLTORSS_HOST='https://mywebsite.com'

You can use --help to get command line arguments.

Development

A new scraper needs to be in RssScrapers module, based on RssScrapers::BaseScraper and should be in src/scrapers/. After that, It needs to be registered in HtmlToRss::SCRAPER_TREE constant.

Testing

Scraper test scripts needs to be in spec/scrapers/. A new folder can be created for a scraper. One or more HTML examples can be located in this folder.

This project uses Kemal, so you need to test this with a environment variable:

$ KEMAL_ENV=test crystal spec
