Building an RSS Scully Plugin - Angular
In this article, we will learn how to extend Scully functionality through plugins. We will do this by building an RSS Plugin. This plugin will generate an RSS feed for our blog web app build using Angular and Scully.
For an RSS plugin, we will build a routeDiscoveryDone plugin, which is usually called when all routes have been discovered. This is going to use data discovered during the route discovery process to create an RSS feed. The route discovery process is done by a router plugin, which you can learn more about here.
Scully provides 9 types of plugins which are called at during different stages of Scully build. For more information about different types of plugins, please visit the official documentation here.
If you used schematics to setup your Scully for your Angular project, you should be able to spot a Scully directory at the root of the workspace. This directory contains a tsconfig file for Scully plugins and a plugins directory, which is where our plugin will live.
Inside the plugins directory - scully/plugins - we will create a new file named rss.ts, which is going to contain the source code for our plugin.
