$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\PodcastFeed\PodcastFeedServiceProvider"
A configuration file will be publish to config/podcast-feed.php.
Methods
setHeader
The header of the feed can be set in the config file or manually using the setHeader method:
PodcastFeed::setHeader([
'title' => 'All About Everything',
'subtitle' => 'A show about everything',
'description' => 'Great site description',
'link' => 'http://www.example.com/podcasts/everything/index.html',
'image' => 'http://example.com/podcasts/everything/AllAboutEverything.jpg',
'author' => 'John Doe',
'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
'category' => 'Technology',
'language' => 'en-us',
'copyright' => '2016 John Doe & Family',
]);addMedia Adding media to the feed.
foreach($this->podcastRepository->getPublished() as $podcast)
{
PodcastFeed::addMedia([
'title' => $podcast->title,
'description' => $podcast->title,
'publish_at' => $podcast->publish_at,
'guid' => route('podcast.show', $podcast->slug),
'url' => $podcast->media->url(),
'type' => $podcast->media_content_type,
'duration' => $podcast->duration,
'image' => $podcast->image->url(),
]);
}toString Converting feed to a presentable string. The example below was pulled from a controller. In theory you could implement a caching method so that it doesn't have to render each time.
public function index()
{
foreach($this->podcastRepository->getPublished() as $podcast) {
PodcastFeed::addMedia([
'title' => $podcast->title,
'description' => $podcast->title,
'publish_at' => $podcast->publish_at,
'guid' => route('podcast.show', $podcast->slug),
'url' => $podcast->media->url(),
'type' => $podcast->media_content_type,
'duration' => $podcast->duration,
'image' => $podcast->image->url(),
]);
}
return Response::make(PodcastFeed::toString())
->header('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
