Rss Pipes

Rss feeds manipulating tool inspired by Yahoo Pipes. It has no pipes editing interface - you just configure them in .yml files and copy their urls to your reader.

Usage

Simplest app

Just create index.php file with content like this.

<?php

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

$pipesDir = __DIR__ . '/../pipes';
\rsspipes\View::run($pipesDir);

Then you create a pipes dir that contains your pipe configs. For example you can create a config named urmaul.yml with content like this.

# urmaul.com without yii
---
-
  type: atom
  url: http://urmaul.com/atom.xml
-
  type: block
  rules:
    title: Yii

Opening index.php?pipe=urmaul you will see rss feed of urmaul.com blog without posts about Yii.

rss-pipes's Issues

Dependency deleted

I'm not able to install because antimattr/xml has been deleted. Is there a different library that can be used in its place?

Ampersands causing error

I am getting this error when I try to filter the Lifehacker RSS feed. It looks to me like the & in the title is causing the problem.
