The aim of the project is to help students in the building, creation and storage of their CV. There is a front-end web app, displaying the CVs stored in the database, that allows the user to add a new CV, delete, or edit the JSON file to update their already existing resumes.
The back-end will be a Python API, which will be used to generate the PDF file. We will develop it using the Django framework. To convert the HTML page into a PDF file, we will use selenium, to make a "print" from Chrome. We used the functions from the python-selenium-chrome-html-to-pdf-converter repo.
