Loading CV...

In case you are curious, my CV has an automated release pipeline. Once the content gets an update, GitHub Actions will automatically tag and release a new version. This page fetches the latest release and displays a preview link (using Google Drive's PDF viewer) and a download link. I opted not to redirect to the asset link since GitHub uses Content-Disposition header to force a file download.

Implementation:

<p id="cv">Loading CV...</p>

<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", async () => {
  try {
    const res = await fetch(
      "https://api.github.com/repos/stepbrobd/cv/releases/latest",
    );
    if (!res.ok) throw new Error("fetch failed");
    const rel = await res.json();
    const date = new Date(rel.published_at).toLocaleDateString("en-US", {
      year: "numeric",
      month: "long",
      day: "numeric",
    });
    const tgt = document.getElementById("cv");
    tgt.innerHTML =
      `Last updated on ${date}: <a href="https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=${
        encodeURIComponent(rel.assets[0].browser_download_url)
      }" target="_blank">preview</a> | <a href="${
        rel.assets[0].browser_download_url
      }" target="_blank">download</a>`;
  } catch (err) {
    document.getElementById("cv").innerHTML =
      `Error loading CV: ${err.message}`;
  }
});
</script>
