I am developing a web application aimed at creating polished resumes, leveraging React, React Bootstrap, TypeScript, and CSS. My focus is on crafting a user-centric interface with controlled forms, dynamic components, and responsive design. Currently in development, the goal is to integrate AI, using the Cohere API, to suggest role-specific responsibilities and optimize resume formatting for specific job applications.
- Developed a class to create form groups for text, date, and URL inputs, utilized across components like contact, education, experience, and projects.
- Implementing validation functions for text, URL, and email inputs, with ongoing development for date validation.
- The application includes reusable components for education, experience, and projects, managed using a
useStatearray approach.
- Integrated react-pdf for resume rendering, ensuring automatic updates with state changes.
- Developing a method to dynamically store user data and reflect changes in the main App.tsx.
- Future plans include user data storage in an external database with authentication and a structured schema.
- Resolved button-related issues using lodash/debounce for smoother user interactions.
- Utilizing React's useState and mapping functionalities to dynamically render and manage form components.
-
Initial Large Prompt Approach: Initially tried using a single, extensive prompt for bullet point generation.
-
STAR Component Splitting: Experimented with breaking down prompts into STAR components for structured AI responses.
-
Prompt with Examples: Currently using prompts with examples, achieving around a 50% success rate.
