A React app which allows users to create their own resume using a template and download it in a PDF format. This toy project is to enforce my learnings on React fundamentals (components and state management).
In order to setup and work on this project on your own, you will need to:
-
Clone this project:
git clone https://github.com/GDimitroff/cv-creator.git -
Once you have cloned this project, you can install the required dependencies by using:
npm install -
A live demo of the project can be started by using:
npm start -
Distribution files can be produced using:
npm run build
- Everything is reactive.
- The resume is printable.
- Used useState hook for basic state management.
- Used context and reducer for the global state of the app.
- Used useForwardRef hook for a specific case when I needed the child ref in the parent component.
- Refactored the whole thing at least 3 times.
- Tried to split components and follow the DRY principle.
- Tried to keep file structure as clean as possible.
- Tried to create a stylish and minimalistic look.
- Deepened knowledge of rendering components.
- Deepened knowledge of props and event handlers.
- Deepened knowledge of state management.
- Deepened knowledge of using third party libraries.
- Overall, I have improved my learning abilities A LOT! š§
