Angerwhale::View::Feed - Common class that abstracts a "feed" of some sort
This class serializes Angerwhale::ContentItems,
presumably to generate an RSS or YAML feed.
Here's what this class knows how to deal with:
ItemIf we get a single article or comment, we get the tree of children, flatten it, and return the result as an array of serialized items.
ArticlesIf we get multiple articles, then we assume we're doing the main 'RSS feed', and return a list of those articles serialized without children.
Takes the stash and outputs an array of "items" that go in the feed. It's then up to the subclass to turn that into something readable
Serialize $item by converting it into a hashref. Normally Articles/Comments are lazy loaded, but this forces everything to be evaluated and added to a hashref.
Attributes in the retured hashref are: title,
type,
summary,
signed,
xhtml,
text,
raw,
guid,
uri,
date (Created),
modified,
tags,
categories the article is in (if possible),
and an arrayref of comments (if $recursive).
