Using AngularJS to fetch images from RSS feed description

I'm currently learning AngularJS by creating a simple RSS feed. I have successfully made a JSON request and fetched all the data including title, link, description, and images from the RSS feed I parsed. The code snippet for extracting images looks like this:

angular.forEach(feed.entries, function(value){
        value.myImage = $(value.content).find('img').eq(0).attr('src');
        console.log('image' + value.myImage);
}

However, some feeds have a different structure where images are placed inside 

<description> </description>
, such as in this example. I am trying to retrieve images from these feeds using the following method:

angular.forEach(feed.entries, function(value){
    value.myImage = $(value.description).find('img').eq(0).attr('src');
    console.log('no image' + " " + value.myImage);
});

Unfortunately, I keep getting 'undefined' when trying to display the image from these feeds. I've tried various approaches but seem to be stuck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

Below is the JSON object I receive:

Object {feedUrl: "https://www.behance.net/rss", title: "Behance Featured Projects", link: "http://www.behance.net", author: "", description: "The latest projects featured on Behance"...}
$$hashKey: "027"
author: ""

Answer №1

Ah, I believe I have discovered the solution :)

It appears that the HTML obtained from the query resembles this:

<img src="..."> Some text <br/> Some text ...

The find method is designed to locate child nodes. In this scenario, the img element is not a child of value.content, causing it to return nothing.

To work around this issue, you can try the following approach:

angular.forEach(feed.entries, function(value){
  // Create a root node to ensure the find method works in all cases
  var content = '<div>'+value.content+'</div>';
  value.myImage = $(content).find('img').eq(0).attr('src');
  console.log('image' + value.myImage);
}
