Using AngularJS for RSS feed viewing.

I searched these days for a nice solution how to display a RSS feed with the help of JavaScript. Then I came across this nice page

http://www.jdev.it/a-very-simple-rss-reader-with-angularjs-and-google-feed-api/

But sadly it does not work in every single piece. The row {{item.publishedDate | date:’d-MM-yyyy HH:mm’}} does not work, because publishedDate is a “String” rather than a “Date”. That means the formatting does not work.

But with the following simple modification in the feeds.js file it’s converted to a “Date”:

FeedLoader.fetch({q: feedSources[i].url, num: 30}, {}, function (data) {
                        var feed = data.responseData.feed;
                        for (var j=0; j<feed.entries.length; j++) {
                            var eventDateStr = feed.entries[j].publishedDate;
                            var eventDate = new Date(eventDateStr);
                            feed.entries[j]["eventDate"] = eventDate;
                        }
                        feeds.push(feed);
                    });

Now you’ve “eventDate” which is the same than “publishedDate”, but from the type “Date”.
