| 1 | +## Creating Feeds |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This guide uses the `JSON Lines` feed as an example. |
| 4 | +When creating a new feed, follow these steps by analogy. Do not modify the actual Json Lines feed. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +### Core functionality |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +1. Decide on the feed type and format (for example, `JSON Lines`). |
| 9 | +2. Add the format to `Enums\FeedFormatEnum`: |
| 10 | + - The enum key must be in PascalCase (e.g., `JsonLines`). |
| 11 | + - The enum value must be the feed format in camelCase (e.g., `jsonl`). |
| 12 | +3. Create a converter in `src/Converters` using the `stubs/converter.stub` template. In that stub: |
| 13 | + - Replace `DummyNamespace` with `DragonCode\LaravelFeed\Converters`. |
| 14 | + - Replace `DummyClass` with the feed class name, e.g., `JsonLinesConverter`. The `Converter` suffix is required. |
| 15 | + - The file name must match the class name, e.g., `JsonLinesConverter.php`. |
| 16 | +4. Register your converter in `\DragonCode\LaravelFeed\Helpers\ConverterHelper::get` by analogy with the existing entries. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Tests |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +1. Create example feeds under `workbench/app/Feeds`, mirroring the Json Lines example. |
| 21 | +2. Reference the newly created feed classes in `workbench/database/seeders/FeedSeeder.php`. |
| 22 | +3. Create four tests — `DefaultTest`, `InfoTest`, `RootInfoTest`, and `RootTest` — inside `tests/Feature/Feeds/Formats/*`, following the JsonLines tests as a template. |
| 23 | +4. When calling `expectFeedSnapshot` in your tests, pass the reference to your feed class and the corresponding format from `FeedFormatEnum`. |
| 24 | +5. Add a new expectation extension in `tests/Expectations.php` to validate the feed. |
| 25 | +6. Update the `expectFeedSnapshot` helper in `tests/Helpers/expects.php` to handle your new type by calling the extension method you created. |
| 26 | +7. Run the tests with `php vendor/bin/pest --filter JsonLines`, replacing `JsonLines` with the name of the folder where your tests live. |
| 27 | +8. Fix any failing tests. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +### Adding the feed to the documentation |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +1. Add a new label in `docs/labels.list`. The key used in the `ref` parameter must follow the `format-*` pattern, where `*` is the feed format in camelCase (e.g., `jsonl`). |
| 32 | +2. Include this label in `docs/topics/supported-formats.topic`. |
| 33 | +3. Add the label to the `information` chapter in `docs/topics/elements.topic`. |
