# Rudibridge
A rudimentary RSS bridge for changing web pages that don't have an RSS feed.
## Architecture and usage
This (personal side-) project can be used to build an RSS feed from webpages that don't have any.
This project consists of two parts :
- a back-end, written in Flask, that responds an RSS feed to GET requests with specific parameters
- a front-end, written in Vue.js, a simple wrapper/helper to write the GET requests
### Parameters
- `**url**` (required): the URL of the page
- `**article**` (required): the HTML tag encapsulating a feed item
- `**title**` (required): the HTML tag of the article title
- `**articleClass**`: a class name helping to filter the article element
- `**titleClass**`: a class name helping to filter the title element
- `**section**`: the HTML tag encapsulating the group of items. If not given, the entire page will be used
- `**content**`: the HTML tag encapsulating the content, or description, of the item. The default is `p`
- `**contentClass**`: a class name helping to filter the content element
- `**link**`: the HTML tag encapsulating the link to the item. The default is `a`.
- `**linkClass**`: a class name helping to filter the link element
- `**datetime**`: the HTML tag encapsulating the date and time of the item. Any date and time format can be used, the parser will try to understand the format.
- `**datetimeClass**`: a class name helping to filter the datetime element
- `**author**`: the HTML tag encapsulating the author of the item
- `**authorClass**`: a class name helping to filter the author element
## Installation
### Using Docker, for development purposes
You will need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed.
Clone the repository, go to its root and run `docker-compose up -d`.
To use the backend directly, go to the page [http://localhost:8080/api/feed/](http://localhost:8080/api/feed/) and start adding parameters!
### For production
*To do*
## Examples
(as of May 2024, the web pages can change over time and break the generated feeds)
- [http://localhost:8080/api/feed/?url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/bretagne/rennes-35000/&title=h2&titleClass=titre&article=article&datetime=time&link=a&linkClass=titre-lien&section=section&sectionClass=liste-articles&content=p&contentClass=chapeau&datetime=time&datetimeClass=meta-time](http://localhost:8080/api/feed/?url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/bretagne/rennes-35000/&title=h2&titleClass=titre&article=article&datetime=time&link=a&linkClass=titre-lien&section=section&sectionClass=liste-articles&content=p&contentClass=chapeau&datetime=time&datetimeClass=meta-time)
- [http://localhost:8080/api/feed/?url=ewen.korr.bzh/fr/cv/&article=div&articleClass=card&title=h4&content=div&contentClass=details&link=None](http://localhost:8080/api/feed/?url=ewen.korr.bzh/fr/cv/&article=div&articleClass=card&title=h4&content=div&contentClass=details&link=None)
