This is an experimental proof of concept set of tools for working with the FlatLake API generated by CloudCannon's Flat. The goal is to easily generate RSS 2.0 feeds from the JSON API as well as generated index blog page(s).
The primary tool is called flt. It is a command line tool supporting a YAML
configuration file and actions for processing the JSON API provided by
FlatLake application. The configuration is combined with
an action and data source path to produce the desired content via standard out.
Here's the basic form of the command.
flt blogit COMMONMARK_FILE
flt rss CHANNEL_NAME JSON_API_FILE
flt markdown CHANNEL_NAME JSON_API_FILE
Here's an example of rendering a RSS 2.0 rss.xml for the "posts" channel.
flt rss posts api/all/page-1.json >rss.xmlHere's an example of rendering a CommonMark index.md file suitable for a blog index using the "posts" channel.
flt markdown posts api/all/page-1.json >index.mdThe flt.yaml file might look something like this.
