Let's use the News module that offers easy to (re)use "porcelain" helpers /methods
that hide the "plumbing" for
building your own newsreader or newsfeeds in minutes.
Install the News module packaged up in the
newscast gem / library with ruby's gem package manager. Example:
$ gem install newscast
Use the News.subscribe( *feeds ) method to subscribe to news feeds / channels.
Example:
News.subscribe(
'http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/feeds/news.rss', # Ruby Lang News
'http://www.jruby.org/atom.xml', # JRuby Lang News

)Note: If you call News.subscribe the method will setup a single-file SQLite database,
that is, ./news.db and auto-migrate the schema, that is, database tables and so on.
Use the News.update method to fetch from the internets all news feeds / channels
and update the ./news.db database. Example:
News.updateProfit! Now you can query the ./news.db database with any of the many
pre-made / ready-to-use query helpers. Example:
puts ":::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
puts ":: #{News.items.count} news items from #{News.channels.count} channels:"
puts
puts "100 Latest News Items"
News.latest.limit( 100 ).each do |item|
print "%4dd " % (Date.today.jd-item.updated.to_date.jd)
print " #{item.updated}"
print " - #{item.title}"
print " - #{URI(item.feed.feed_url).host}"
print "\n"
endUse the news.rb sample script:
$ ruby ./news.rb
This will result in:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: 793 news items from 21 channels:
100 Latest News Items
