This GitHub Action is used by me to generate my Resume PDF using web-scraping (puppeteer) and then update my Resume pdf present in the Resume Repository. After Updating my Resume PDF, I can share my Resume PDF to anyone.
This GitHub action will work everytime I update and push my Resume to my Resume Repository.
The workflow.yml file I use in Resume Repo:
name: GeneratePDF
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
generate_pdf:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Use Node.js v15.x
uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: 15.x
- name: Generate PDF Action
uses: ashuvssut/generatePdf-GHA@v1
with:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
As of now, this Action can't be used by other people.
But to use this action to generate you own PDF, you need to fork this, edit four variables present in src/action.js. Those four variables are:
- OWNER
- REPO
- BRANCH
- PDF_PATH
after doing this, you have created your own action that only works for your repo.
I am really sorry I was very lazy to put code to get these variable automatically and through workflow env variables.
If you want to contribute to this issue: It is very easy:
- use @action/core for OWNER and REPO variables
- we can use workflow env variables for BRANCH and PDF_PATH variables
Make the PR! I will be ready to help you out if you get stuck :)
Thankyou for reading this out!
