node-red-contrib-rss

library0.1.6jsnpmunverified

A Node-RED node that converts incoming message payloads (arrays of objects) into an RSS or Atom feed. Version 0.1.6 wraps the popular 'rss' npm package and maps feed- and item-level options from msg properties or node configuration. Useful for creating dynamic feeds within Node-RED flows. Limited release history. Simpler than full-featured feed generators but tightly integrated with Node-RED's message-based paradigm.

RSS

✓ Install via npm in Node-RED user directory; no explicit import required.

This is a Node-RED contrib node, not a standard module. It is loaded automatically by Node-RED when installed. No import statement is needed.

Install the node and configure it in Node-RED to convert incoming arrays into RSS feed XML.

// No code example needed; the node is configured via Node-RED UI. // 1. Install: cd ~/.node-red && npm i node-red-contrib-rss // 2. Reload Node-RED. // 3. Add an 'rss' node from the palette. // 4. Connect an input node that outputs msg.payload (array of objects). // 5. Configure feed options and item mappings in the node's settings. // 6. Deploy. The node outputs a string RSS feed.

Debug

Known issues

gotchamsg.payload must be an array of objects; non-array payloads will cause the node to fail silently or produce invalid output.

fix

Ensure the input node outputs an array, or add a function node to transform data into the expected format.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaFeed and item option mappings are taken from msg properties; if a property is missing the node may crash or omit the option.

fix

Verify that all required properties (e.g., title, description, url) are set on msg before the rss node.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe node uses the 'rss' npm package which has limited maintenance; may not support latest RSS/Atom standards.

fix

Consider switching to a more up-to-date RSS library if advanced features are needed.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: Cannot read property 'feedOptions' of undefined

Node configuration not properly initialized; missing feed options in settings.

fix

Double-click the rss node and ensure feed options (title, link, etc.) are filled in or mapped correctly.

msg.payload is not iterable

msg.payload is not an array.

fix

Use a function node to convert the payload to an array before sending to the rss node, e.g., msg.payload = [msg.payload]; return msg;
