Creating feeds for blog posts

Django has a built-in syndication feed framework that you can use to dynamically generate RSS or Atom feeds in a similar manner to creating sitemaps using the site’s framework. A web feed is a data format (usually XML) that provides users with the most recently updated content. Users can subscribe to the feed using a feed aggregator, a software that is used to read feeds and get new content notifications.

Create a new file in your blog application directory and name it feeds.py. Add the following lines to it:

import markdown
from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
from django.template.defaultfilters import truncatewords_html
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from .models import Post
class LatestPostsFeed(Feed):
    title = 'My blog'
    link = reverse_lazy('blog:post_list')
    description = 'New posts of my blog.'
    def items(self):
        return Post.published.all()[:5]
    def item_title...
