Script I use to sync my HEY World posts with my Jekyll-powered personal site

sync_hey_world_posts_with_jekyll.rb

require "rss"
require "ostruct"

RSS_FEED_URL = "https://world.hey.com/jorge/feed.atom"

def sync_posts
  feed = RSS::Parser.parse(RSS_FEED_URL, false)

  feed.items.each do |item|
    post = OpenStruct.new title: item.title.content, date: item.published.content.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"), link: item.link.href
    sync_post post
  end
end

def sync_post(post)
  file_name = file_name_for(post)
  file_path = "../_posts/#{file_name}"

  unless File.exists?(file_path)
    puts "Syncing #{file_name}..."
    File.open(file_path, "w") { |file| file.write content_for(post) }
  end
end

def file_name_for(post)
  slug = post.title.downcase.strip.gsub(' ', '-').gsub(/[^\w-]/, '')
  "#{post.date}-#{slug}.md"
end

def content_for(post)
  <<~MD
    ---
    title: #{post.title.gsub(":", "&#58;")}
    layout: post
    external_url: #{post.link}
    ---
  MD
end
