Rails Parsing RSS Feed Feedzirra / Feedjira with simple_format

I'm using Feedjira (Feedzirra) https://github.com/feedjira/feedjira to parse rss feeds in rails.

I need a way to remove html tags from the title of the rss feed items before I save to database.

in my create method which saves the feed item to the database 

:title => feed_items_url.title

I tried to add simple_format to this but it didn't work

:name => simple_format(feed_items_url.title)
Solution

  • Use nokogiri and the method text which will strip the HTML tags from your content.

    @doc.title().text
