The Laravel 5/6/7/8/9/10 Feeds Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the
willvincent/feeds package in your project's composer.json.

Find the providers key in your config/app.php and register the Service Provider.

// ...
willvincent\Feeds\FeedsServiceProvider::class,
],Find the aliases key in your config/app.php and register the Facade.
'aliases' => [
// ...
'Feeds' => willvincent\Feeds\Facades\FeedsFacade::class,
],Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="willvincent\Feeds\FeedsServiceProvider" to publish the default config file, edit caching setting withing the resulting config/feeds.php file as desired.

The make() accepts 3 paramaters, the first parameter is an array of feed URLs, the second parameter is the max number of items to be returned per feed, and while the third parameter is a boolean which you can set to force to read unless content type not a valid RSS.
$feed = \Feeds::make('http://feed/url/goes/here');Note: In Laravel 5 and newer, Facades must either be prefixed with a backslash, or brought into scope with a use [facadeName] declaration.
