从Active Record 数据中生成 RSS Feesds

从Active Record 数据中生成 RSS Feesds

加入你的数据库中内容如下 ：每条记录都含有经常变化的德销售信息。

db/schema.rb:

ActiveRecord::Schema.define() do
  create_table "books", :force => true do |t|
    t.column "title", :string, :limit => 80
    t.column "sales_pitch", :string 
    t.column "est_release_date", :date
  end
end

在XML控制器中创建一个叫rss 方法，这个方法从Book 模型中提取信息到实例变量。

app/controllers/xml_controller.rb:

class XmlController < ApplicationController

  def rss
    @feed_title = "O'Reilly Books"
    @books = Book.find(:all, :order => "est_release_date desc", 
                             :limit => 2)
  end
end

在rss 动作关联的视图上。使用BUilder 的XML 标记来构建RSS
的XML。

app/views/xml/rss.rxml:

xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0", :encoding=>"UTF-8"
xml.rss('version' => '2.0') do
  xml.channel do
    xml.title @feed_title
    xml.link(request.protocol + 
      request.host_with_port + url_for(:rss => nil))
    xml.description(@feed_title)
    xml.language "en-us"
    xml.ttl "40"
    # RFC-822 dateime example: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 04:00:00 GMT
    xml.pubDate(Time.now.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z"))
    @books.each do |b|
      xml.item do
        xml.title(b.title)
        xml.link(request.protocol + request.host_with_port + 
          url_for(:controller => "posts", :action => "show", :id => b.id))
        xml.description(b.sales_pitch)
        xml.guid(request.protocol + request.host_with_port + 
          url_for(:controller => "posts", :action => "show", :id => b.id))
      end     
    end     
  end
end
