Adding an RSS Feed

You can add an RSS feed to your Prezet site using Spatie's Laravel Feed package. This site's feed is available at prezet.com/feed.

#Installation

Install the package:

composer require spatie/laravel-feed

Run the installer to publish the configuration:

php artisan feed:install

This creates config/feed.php and publishes views to public/vendor/feed. See the Laravel Feed documentation for configuration options.

#Register Route

Add the feed route to routes/web.php:

Route::feeds();

#Create Feed Model

Create a model that extends Prezet's Document and implements Spatie's Feedable interface.

In app/Models/RssDocument.php:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Prezet\Prezet\Models\Document as DocumentModel;
use Spatie\Feed\Feedable;
use Spatie\Feed\FeedItem;

class RssDocument extends DocumentModel implements Feedable
{
    public $table = 'documents';

    public static function getAllFeedItems()
    {
        return self::query()
            ->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
            ->get();
    }

    public function toFeedItem(): FeedItem
    {
        $authors = config('prezet.authors');
        $author = $authors[$this->frontmatter->author]['name'] ?? 'Unknown';

        return FeedItem::create()
            ->id($this->id)
            ->title($this->frontmatter->title)
            ->summary($this->frontmatter->excerpt)
            ->updated($this->created_at)
            ->link(route('prezet.show', $this->slug))
            ->authorName($author);
    }
}

#Add Feed Link

Add a feed link to your template's <head> section.

In your Prezet template (e.g., resources/views/vendor/prezet/components/template.blade.php):

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="/feed">

This makes your RSS feed discoverable by feed readers and browsers.
