Create JSON feed #173
Create JSON feed #173
Conversation

@hugmanrique This is awesome! Great work here. Per the discussion in #172, I’m not sure that we are ready to support JSON Feed just yet. That said, I wonder if it would be worthwhile for us to have a branch that supports JSON. Kind of a just in case operation. This way, anybody who wanted to work with JSON Feed and Jekyll could have a common place to do so. @benbalter Thoughts? |

Huge 👍 on this. |

I believe "limmit" needs to be with one "m" to work correctly.

File.expand_path("feed.xml", __dir__)There was a problem hiding this comment.
The feed_source_path function used that same format and I just changed the file path. Please note that I don't know any Ruby and I might be wrong.

absolute_url is a filter not a value. It needs something as input.

@bogdanvlviv suggested this

i think content_html should have a full content of post

i can't find json filter there https://jekyllrb.com/docs/templates/ may be jsonify

This is a cool proof of concept but honestly, if we were to produce a JSON feed, I think doing it in pure Ruby would be a better approach then using Liquid templates. |
The original spec for JSON Feeds has been published this morning (Spec), and as my first Ruby exercise, I tried to create JSON feeds for Jekyll.
By default, the JSON feed will be written to feed.json, but a config option is also available. The JSON code should be valid, and I perform sanitization of strings by using the
jsonLiquid operator.Please note that this is the first time I've modified some Ruby code, and some things could be totally wrong (I'm not too sure about this return)
