CvCreator

Use some JSON data files to generate a CV in many languages with optional entries. Live at https://cvcreator.fly.dev/.

Quick Start

Development

To start the backend

cd backend
CV_CREATOR_CROSS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000 CV_CREATOR_DATA_DIR_PATH=../data/sample lein ring server

and then to start the frontend

cd frontend
REACT_APP_CV_CREATOR_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8080 npm start

The environment variable CV_CREATOR_DATA_DIR_PATH controls the directory searched for JSON data files. It defaults to data/sample.

Packaged

Run ./launchServer.sh.

Command Line

To create a CV from the command line, use the commands

cd backend
lein run -m cv-creator.core/-main <data-directory-path> <language> <tags>...

The data directory needs to contain one or many JSON files (one JSON file per language) that specify the content of the CV. The valid <language> and <tags> are specified in the data files. Tagged sections, items and subitems are excluded unless the tag they contain is passed on the command line.

An example of a valid command is

cd backend && lein run -m cv-creator.core/-main ../data/sample english computerScience

The third party package resources/latexResumeStyleSheet.cls provides, as its name suggests, a LaTeX style sheet for CVs.
