Yaml-to-CV-generator

A project where user is required to provide a yaml containing their resume details and the python3 script will create a CV both html and pdf using jinja2 and pdfkit

A sample yaml input would look like following snippet

Once you have your input_data.yaml ready you need to run the python script resume_gen.py in the same folder as you yaml container. Right now there is one one html format present - format 0. Soon user will be able to choose more formats from template maps.

Working it out pdfkit was a bit of a hassle for me, so I have written a blog in case you face error related to wkhtmltopdf. blog-link-to-wkhtmltopdf-installation

The data will be rendered into resume_template.html using jinja2 and the output should look somehting like below:
