🏗️ Run locally

In order to run this project, Node.js v16.15.0+ is required.

The following lines can be used to serve the resume to a built-in development server:

git clone https://github.com/poterekq/resume-generator.git
cd resume-generator
npm install
npm run dev

If you wish to create a custom resume, the following files must be modified: data/general.js and data/resume.js.

In order to convert the resume from HTML to PDF, you can either:

• Run npm run convert, which executes html2pdf.js. No other argument is passed. In this case, the tool assumes that the resume is currently running locally on http://localhost:3000. The output in written under output/resume.pdf.
• Run node html2pdf.js with two optional arguments. The first corresponds to the filename used when creating the PDF output. The second is the url of the target webpage where the resume is currently being displayed.
