= pipe

* http://github.com/drewolson/pipe

== DESCRIPTION:

Pipe lets you aggregate a bunch of RSS feeds based on filters. Tell

pipe the url of the feed, and then give it a hash of xml tag names

plus patterns those tags must fit. Use with sinatra, easy as pie.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Create an aggregate RSS feed with filters

== SYNOPSIS:

 Make a new file called ruby_pipe.rb:

  require 'rubygems'

  require 'pipe'

  require 'sinatra'

  get '/' do

    Pipe.create do

      feed "http://news.ycombinator.com/rss", :title => /ruby/i

      feed "http://reddit.com/r/ruby/.rss"

    end

  end

 Now fire up your new pipe:

  ruby ruby_pipe.rb

 Now enjoy some RSS goodness personally tailored to you at

 http://localhost:4567

 We can get a bit more complicated with pipe in a couple ways. First, if you

 have some information in scope that you want your pipe block to close over,

 you can prevent pipe from doing an instance eval by providing a block

 argument. In this case, the block will yield an instance of the Pipe object:

  get '/' do

    url = "http://foo.com/rss"

 

    Pipe.create do |p|

      p.feed url

    end

  end

 You can also tell pipe to combine your filter criteria with "or" logic 

 instead of the default "and" logic:

  get '/' do

    Pipe.create do

      feed "http://www.foo.com/rss",

           :title => /foo/,

           :description => /bar/,

           :combine_with => :or

    end

  end

 Happy piping!
