Node resume

This projects helps to generate a PDF resume based on a JSON file. By default two designs are supplied. This is a fork of node-resume by Tibor Szász (https://github.com/tiborsaas/node-resume).

This fork adds the possibility to add your publications from a BiBTeX file.

Check out my CV as an example

Usage

Just edit a json, use the command line and you are ready to go.

Step 1

Install dependenceis with yarn install.

Step 2

Edit the contents of data/cv-empty.json and save it as data/cv.json. Copy the file data/personal_data_empty.json into a new file called data/personal_data.json and fill in your personal data. This file is always merged with the main cv file and it is gitignored so that you don't inadvertently share your personal data with the rest of the world.

Step 2b (optional)

Edit or add your publications to data/bibliography.bib

Step 3

Type yarn start in command line. That will render the default template called "basic". You can render other templates by adding the template name that you can find the the views folder, like npm start classic.

Advanced Usage

Skipping sections

You can skip sections to generate custom CVs for different employers by typing

npm start [template_name] -- --skip=<comma separated section names>

Using different source files

You can specify a JSON file different than data/cv.json by typing

npm start [template_name] -- --cv=<path/to/cv_file>

DONE :)

Making changes to the template

For convinence, I've added a dev server that can be launched with the npm start dev command. npm start dev [templatename] will launch the desired template.

Important

If you make changes to the template, the dev server needs to be re-launched.
