Plain text endpoint:
- Add /text route for plain text CV (for curl/AI crawlers)
- Use k3a/html2text library for HTML-to-text conversion
- Add Plain Text button to hamburger menu with UI translations
Contact form feature:
- Add ContactHandler with proper email service integration
- Add CSRF protection middleware
- Add rate limiting (5 submissions/hour per IP)
- Add honeypot and timing-based bot protection
- Add input validation with detailed error messages
- Add security logging middleware
- Add browser-only middleware for API protection
Code quality:
- Fix all golangci-lint errcheck warnings for w.Write calls
- Remove duplicate getClientIP functions
- Wire up ContactHandler in routes.Setup
- Move all bilingual text from templates to UI JSON (labels, buttons, modals)
- Move skills summary paragraph to CV JSON with HTML support
- Add new UI sections: navigation, viewControls, sections, footer, portfolio,
pdfModal, shortcutsModal, infoModal, widgets
- Update Go structs to match expanded JSON structure
- Add template.HTML type for CV.SkillsSummary field
- Add JSON content validation test (70-json-content-validation.test.mjs)
Templates now contain only structural logic (CSS classes, HTML attributes)
while all user-visible text loads from JSON files for proper i18n support.
Part 1: Shared Utilities
- Create internal/fileutil package with FindDataFile() and LoadJSON()
- Create internal/lang package with language constants and validation
- Eliminate 46 lines of code duplication between cv/loader.go and ui/loader.go
- Simplify cv/loader.go from 69 to 36 lines (-48%)
- Simplify ui/loader.go from 56 to 24 lines (-57%)
Part 2: Validation Layer
- Add comprehensive validation in internal/models/cv/validation.go
- Validate Personal (name, email format, URLs)
- Validate Experience (required fields, dates)
- Validate Education (required fields)
- Validate Skills (proficiency ranges 1-5, categories)
- Validate Languages (proficiency levels 1-5)
- Validate Projects (title, URLs)
- Validate Meta (version, language)
- Integrate validation into LoadCV() - automatic on load
- Create ValidationError and ValidationErrors types for clear error reporting
- Report all validation errors at once (better UX)
Testing:
- Add comprehensive tests for fileutil package (FindDataFile, LoadJSON)
- Add tests for lang package (IsValid, Validate, All)
- Add 280+ validation test cases covering edge cases
- All tests pass with real CV data (cv-en.json, cv-es.json)
- Fixed validation to allow both URLs and local paths for gitRepoUrl
Documentation:
- Create _go-learning/refactorings/002-shared-utilities-validation.md
- Document architecture, benefits, testing, and interview talking points
- Explain WHY decisions were made (DRY, type safety, data integrity)
Benefits:
- DRY: Single source of truth for utilities
- Type safety: Language constants instead of magic strings
- Data integrity: Validation catches errors at load time
- Better errors: Clear messages showing all issues at once
- Maintainability: Centralized utilities easier to update
