ATOM and JSON feeds

I will share my configuration to build ATOM and JSON feeds.

config-file:

disableKinds = ["RSS"]  # kick out RSS

[mediaTypes]
  [mediaTypes."application/atom+xml"]
    suffixes = ["xml"]


[outputFormats.HTML]
baseName              = "index"
NoUgly                = true


[outputFormats.ATOM]
MediaType             = "application/atom+xml"
BaseName              = "feed"
suffix                = "xml"
IsHTML                = false
IsPlainText           = false
noUgly                = true
Rel                   = "alternate"

[outputFormats.JSON]
MediaType             = "application/json"
BaseName              = "feed"
suffix                = "json"
IsHTML                = false
IsPlainText           = true
noUgly                = false
Rel                   = "alternate"

[outputs]
home                  = [ "HTML", "ATOM", "JSON"]
section               = [ "HTML",  ]
page                  = [ "HTML" ]
taxonomy              = [ "HTML" ]
taxonomyTerm          = [ "HTML" ]

layout/_default/home.atom.xml Changed! Updated!

{{ print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\" ?>"| safeHTML }}
{{ print "<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/css\" href=\"/css/atom.css\" ?>"| safeHTML }}
{{ print "<!-- home.atom.xml -->"| safeHTML }}
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
	<title type="text">{{ if .IsHome }}{{ .Site.Title | plainify }}{{ else }}{{ with .Title | plainify }}{{.}} auf {{ end }}{{ .Site.Title | plainify }}{{ end }}</title>
	<subtitle type="text">Alle Beiträge der letzten 24 Monate</subtitle>
	{{ with  .OutputFormats.Get "ATOM" -}}
	<link rel="self"  type="application/atom+xml" href="{{.Permalink}}" />
	{{- end }}
	<link rel="alternate" type="type/html" href="{{.Permalink}}" />
	{{ with .Site.Author.name }}<author>
		<name>{{.}}</name>
		{{ with $.Site.Author.email }}<email>{{.}}</email>{{end}}
	</author>{{end}}
	{{ with .Site.Copyright }}<rights type="text">{{.}}</rights>{{end}}
	<generator url="https://gohugo.io" version="{{.Hugo.Version}}">Hugo</generator>
	{{ if not .Site.LastChange.IsZero }}<updated>{{.Site.LastChange.UTC.Format .Site.Params.dateFormatFeed }}</updated>{{ end }} 
	{{ $uuid := sha1 $.Site.BaseURL }}<id>urn:uuid:{{substr $uuid 0 8}}-{{substr $uuid 8 4}}-5{{substr $uuid 13 3}}-{{substr $uuid 16 1}}9{{substr $uuid 17 2}}-{{substr $uuid 21 12}}</id>
	{{ $start := now.AddDate -1 0 0}}
	{{ range where .Site.Pages "PublishDate" "gt" $start -}}
	{{ if ne .Section ""}}
	<entry> {{ $url := .Permalink }}{{ $uuid := sha1 .Permalink }}{{ $page := .}}
      <title type="text">{{ .Title | plainify }}</title> 
	  <category term="{{$page.Section}}" />
      <link rel='alternate' type='type/html' href='{{ $url }}' />
	  <published>{{ .PublishDate.UTC.Format .Site.Params.dateFormatFeed }}</published>
      <updated>{{ .Lastmod.UTC.Format .Site.Params.dateFormatFeed  }}</updated>
      <id>urn:uuid:{{substr $uuid 0 8}}-{{substr $uuid 8 4}}-5{{substr $uuid 13 3}}-{{substr $uuid 16 1}}9{{substr $uuid 17 2}}-{{substr $uuid 21 12}}</id>
      <summary type="xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">{{ range first 1 (.Resources.Match "**/*.*") -}}{{ $original := . }}{{ $.Scratch.Set "image" ($original.Fit "480x360") }}{{ $image := $.Scratch.Get "image" }}<a href="{{ $url }}"><img src="{{ $image.RelPermalink }}" width="{{ $image.Width }}" height="{{ $image.Height }}" /></a><br/><br/>{{- end }}
{{ .Summary | plainify |chomp }}
	  <br/>{{ if not .Truncated}}<a href="{{ $url }}">[read more]</a>{{ end }}
	  </div></summary>
    </entry>
	
    {{- end }}
	{{- end }}
</feed>

it uses page bundles to add an image to the feed. $start takes alle pages out of the last year. change it to range first .Param.RSSlimit for your need.

layout/index.json

{
    "version": "https://jsonfeed.org/version/1",
    "title": "{{ .Site.Title }}",
    "home_page_url": "{{ .Site.BaseURL }}",
	{{ with  .OutputFormats.Get "JSON" -}}
	"feed_url": "{{.Permalink}}",
	{{- end }}	
	{{ if isset .Site.Params "description" -}}
	"description": "{{ .Site.Params.description }}",
	{{- end }}
	{{ if isset .Site.Params "author" -}}
	"author": { "name": "{{ .Site.Params.author }}" },
	{{- end }}
    "items": [{{ $start := now.AddDate -1 0 0}}
	{{ range where .Site.Pages "PublishDate" "gt" $start -}}
		{ {{ $page := .}}
			"id": "{{ .Permalink }}",
			"title": "{{ .Title | plainify}}",
			"content_text": {{ .Summary | plainify | jsonify }},
			"url": "{{ .Permalink }}",
			"date_published": "{{ $page.PublishDate.UTC.Format .Site.Params.dateFormatFeed  }}",
			"date_modified" : "{{ $page.Lastmod.UTC.Format .Site.Params.dateFormatFeed  }}",
			"tags": ["{{ delimit .Params.tags ", " }}"]
		},{{- end }}
		{ }
    ]
}

works like the ATOM feed.

change it for your needs!

Hello,

I happen to maintain two Hugo theme components: for ATOM feed and JF2 format JSON feeds for single and list pages.

  • If you like, you can colloborate with me on the ATOM feed theme component to make it better.
  • As for the JSON feed, see if you can convert it to a theme component like mine. That way it will be easy to share with people. See the instructions for using the ATOM feed theme component as an example.
