Fetch what's new from AWS

Install

go get "github.com/circa10a/go-aws-news"

Usage

Methods return a slice of structs which include the announcement title, a link, and the date it was posted as well an error. This allows you to manipulate the data in whichever way you please, or simply use Print() to print a nice ASCII table to the console.

package main

import (
	"log"
	awsNews "github.com/circa10a/go-aws-news"
)

func main() {
	// Today's news
	news, _ := awsNews.Today()
	news.Print()
	// Yesterday's news
	news, _:= awsNews.Yesterday()
	news.Print()
	// Current news
	news, _ := awsNews.ThisMonth()
	news.Print()
	// Custom timeframe(June 2019)
	news, err := awsNews.Fetch(2019, 06)
	// Handle errors as well
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	news.Print()
	// Console output
	// +--------------------------------+--------------+
	// |          ANNOUNCEMENT          |     DATE     |

	// Loop slice of stucts of announcements
	// For your own data manipulation
	news, _ := awsNews.Fetch(time.Now().Year(), int(time.Now().Month()))
	for _, v := range news {
		fmt.Printf("Title: %v\n", v.Title)
		fmt.Printf("Link: %v\n", v.Link)
		fmt.Printf("Date: %v\n", v.PostDate)
	}
	// Even get all the Announcements as JSON
	news, err := Fetch(2019, 12)
	json, jsonErr := news.JSON()
}
