podcast

Package podcast generates a fully compliant iTunes and RSS 2.0 podcast feed for GoLang using a simple API.

Full documentation with detailed examples located at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast

Usage

To use, go get and import the package like your typical GoLang library.

$ go get -u github.com/eduncan911/podcast

import "github.com/eduncan911/podcast"

The API exposes a number of method receivers on structs that implements the logic required to comply with the specifications and ensure a compliant feed. A number of overrides occur to help with iTunes visibility of your episodes.

Notably, the Podcast.AddItem(i Item) function performs most of the heavy lifting by taking the Item input and performing validation, overrides and duplicate setters through the feed.

See the detailed Examples of the API at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast.

Extensibility

In no way are you restricted in having full control over your feeds. You may choose to skip the API methods and instead use the structs directly. The fields have been grouped by RSS 2.0 and iTunes fields.

iTunes specific fields are all prefixed with the letter I.

Article minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Link

Audio minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Enclosure (HREF, Type and Length all required)

Recommendations:

  • Setting the minimal fields sets most of other fields, including iTunes.
  • Use the Published time.Time setting instead of PubDate.
  • Always set an Enclosure.Length, to be nice to your downloaders.
  • Use Enclosure.Type instead of setting TypeFormatted for valid extensions.
func (*Item) AddDuration
func (i *Item) AddDuration(durationInSeconds int64)

Podcast represents a podcast.

func New
func New(title, link, description string,
    pubDate, lastBuildDate *time.Time) Podcast

New instantiates a Podcast with required parameters.

Nil-able fields are optional but recommended as they are formatted to the expected proper formats.

func (*Podcast) AddAuthor
func (p *Podcast) AddAuthor(name, email string)

AddAuthor adds the specified Author to the podcast.

func (*Podcast) AddCategory
func (p *Podcast) AddCategory(category string, subCategories []string)

AddCategory adds the categories to the Podcast in comma delimited format.

subCategories are optional.

func (*Podcast) AddImage

To optimize images for mobile devices, Apple recommends compressing your image files.

func (*Podcast) AddItem
func (p *Podcast) AddItem(i Item) (int, error)

AddItem adds the podcast episode. It returns a count of Items added or any errors in validation that may have occurred.

This method takes the "itunes overrides" approach to populating itunes tags according to the overrides rules in the specification. This not only complies completely with iTunes parsing rules; but, it also displays what is possible to be set on an individual episode level - if you wish to have more fine grain control over your content.

This method imposes strict validation of the Item being added to confirm to Podcast and iTunes specifications.

Article minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Link

Audio, Video and Downloads minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Enclosure (HREF, Type and Length all required)

The following fields are always overwritten (don't set them):

  • GUID
  • PubDateFormatted
  • AuthorFormatted
  • Enclosure.TypeFormatted
  • Enclosure.LengthFormatted

Recommendations:

func (*Podcast) AddLastBuildDate
func (p *Podcast) AddLastBuildDate(datetime *time.Time)

AddLastBuildDate adds the datetime as a parsed PubDate.

UTC time is used by default.

func (*Podcast) AddPubDate
func (p *Podcast) AddPubDate(datetime *time.Time)

AddPubDate adds the datetime as a parsed PubDate.

UTC time is used by default.

func (*Podcast) AddSubTitle
func (p *Podcast) AddSubTitle(subTitle string)

AddSubTitle adds the iTunes subtitle that is displayed with the title in iTunes.

Note that this field should be just a few words long according to Apple. This method will truncate the string to 64 chars if too long with "..."

func (*Podcast) AddSummary
func (p *Podcast) AddSummary(summary string)

AddSummary adds the iTunes summary.

Limit: 4000 characters

Note that this field is a CDATA encoded field which allows for rich text such as html links: <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple.

func (*Podcast) Bytes
func (p *Podcast) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns an encoded []byte slice.

func (*Podcast) Encode
func (p *Podcast) Encode(w io.Writer) error

Encode writes the bytes to the io.Writer stream in RSS 2.0 specification.

func (*Podcast) String
func (p *Podcast) String() string

String encodes the Podcast state to a string.

type TextInput

type TextInput struct {
    XMLName     xml.Name `xml:"textInput"`
    Title       string   `xml:"title"`
    Description string   `xml:"description"`
    Name        string   `xml:"name"`
    Link        string   `xml:"link"`
}

TextInput represents text inputs.

Documentation

Overview

Package podcast generates a fully compliant iTunes and RSS 2.0 podcast feed for GoLang using a simple API.

Full documentation with detailed examples located at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast

Usage

To use, `go get` and `import` the package like your typical GoLang library. 

$ go get -u github.com/eduncan911/podcast

import "github.com/eduncan911/podcast"

The API exposes a number of method receivers on structs that implements the logic required to comply with the specifications and ensure a compliant feed. A number of overrides occur to help with iTunes visibility of your episodes.

Notably, the [Podcast.AddItem(i Item)](#Podcast.AddItem) function performs most of the heavy lifting by taking the Item(#Item) input and performing validation, overrides and duplicate setters through the feed.

See the detailed Examples of the API at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast.

Extensibility

In no way are you restricted in having full control over your feeds. You may choose to skip the API methods and instead use the structs directly. The fields have been grouped by RSS 2.0 and iTunes fields.

iTunes specific fields are all prefixed with the letter `I`.

func (*Podcast) AddItem 

func (p *Podcast) AddItem(i Item) (int, error)

AddItem adds the podcast episode. It returns a count of Items added or any errors in validation that may have occurred.

This method takes the "itunes overrides" approach to populating itunes tags according to the overrides rules in the specification. This not only complies completely with iTunes parsing rules; but, it also displays what is possible to be set on an individual episode level - if you wish to have more fine grain control over your content.

This method imposes strict validation of the Item being added to confirm to Podcast and iTunes specifications.

Article minimal requirements are:

* Title * Description * Link

Audio, Video and Downloads minimal requirements are:

* Title * Description * Enclosure (HREF, Type and Length all required)

The following fields are always overwritten (don't set them):

* GUID * PubDateFormatted * AuthorFormatted * Enclosure.TypeFormatted * Enclosure.LengthFormatted

Recommendations:

Example 
p := podcast.New("title", "link", "description", &pubDate, &updatedDate)
p.AddAuthor("the name", "me@test.com")
p.AddImage("http://example.com/image.jpg")

// create an Item
date := pubDate.AddDate(0, 0, 77)
item := podcast.Item{
	Title:       "Episode 1",
	Description: "Description for Episode 1",
	ISubtitle:   "A simple episode 1",
	PubDate:     &date,
}
item.AddEnclosure(
	"http://example.com/1.mp3",
	podcast.MP3,
	183,
)
item.AddSummary("See more at <a href=\"http://example.com\">Here</a>")

// add the Item
if _, err := p.AddItem(item); err != nil {
	fmt.Println("item validation error: " + err.Error())
}

if len(p.Items) != 1 {
	fmt.Println("expected 1 item in the collection")
}
pp := p.Items[0]
fmt.Println(
	pp.GUID, pp.Title, pp.Link, pp.Description, pp.Author,
	pp.AuthorFormatted, pp.Category, pp.Comments, pp.Source,
	pp.PubDate, pp.PubDateFormatted, *pp.Enclosure,
	pp.IAuthor, pp.IDuration, pp.IExplicit, pp.IIsClosedCaptioned,
	pp.IOrder, pp.ISubtitle, pp.ISummary)

Output:

http://example.com/1.mp3 Episode 1 http://example.com/1.mp3 Description for Episode 1 &{{ }  me@test.com (the name)}     2017-04-22 08:21:52 +0000 UTC Sat, 22 Apr 2017 08:21:52 +0000 {{ } http://example.com/1.mp3 183 183 audio/mpeg audio/mpeg} me@test.com (the name)     A simple episode 1 &{{ } See more at <a href="http://example.com">Here</a>}
