MongoDB & Firebase Storage needs to be configured before you can start using ResumeBuilder Application.
ResumeBuilder uses MongoDB as its database. Application.yaml has already been configured. If you don't have it installed you can download it from here.
You may need this for editing data on the database directly so i strongly suggest having this installed on your local environment as well. You can download the application from here.
ResumeBuilder Application uses Firebase for storing images like profile pictures & project photos.
To configure Firebase Storage:
-
Create a new project from Firebase Console.
-
Go to Project Settings -> Service Accounts -> Firebase Admin SDK -> Generate new private key.
-
Replace src/main/resources/cloud/firebase.json with your downloaded JSON file. Keep in mind that it should be named as "firebase.json".
-
Enable Firebase Storage.
-
From src/main/java/com/sefaunal/resumebuilder/Utils/ImageUtils.java change the following field's value with your own Bucket Address.
private static final String BUCKET_NAME = "resumebuilder-f10a4. appspot.com";If you would like to access admin panel you will need to:
