Feature: Check Links

Open TannerBaldus opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

Creating an issue to see if there's any interest/ in the scope of the project.

Since we all probably have a lot of links on our resumes I think a command to make sure none of them are broken. Some use cases might be a link to an external site changing or maybe accidentally using https to your free github pages site. But I don't know anyone that'd do that 😅.

If we made a top level command something e.g. hackmyresume check resume.json it perhaps could eventually be expanded to check other things than links like grammar or spelling. Although I could see an argument for putting the feature in the analyze function.

I think not only it would be more useful to have such a check(er) as a standalone project/binary/resource to use on any relevant document, but it's well outside the scope of HackMyResume. Just my $.2, though, I'm not affiliated with the project. :)

:+1: to the general idea, but I think incorporating this functionality into the existing VALIDATE subcommand might make more sense than adding a new subcommand. To @mfukar's point though, perhaps there should be a plugin interface for custom/third party validators.

Oh, most definitely.

a plugin interface for custom/third party validators.

@mfukar is correct about scope OTOH VALIDATE was created to allow for this kind of stuff.
