About The Project

This project contains my CV application based on JSONResume. Furthermore, variants of the CV are generated automatically as .html (using resumed) and .pdf (using puppeteer). Tons of themes are supported. Custom build scripts allow generation for multiple languages (which is a missing feature in JSONSchema itself). Deployment is automated using GitHub Actions to GitHub Pages.

You can use this repository as a starting point and inspiration to write your own CV with JSONResume.

Notice: However, please provide your own json files and do not reuse my files without modification as those contain personal information as described in the LICENSE.

Features

• Auto-generated HTML content for the CV based on JSONResume and resumed
• Auto-generated PDF content for the CV based on puppeteer
• Support for thousands of themes and custom ones
• Vue-based Single Page Application (SPA) for dynamically viewing the CV
• Easily extensible Multi-language support
• Dark mode support
• Progressive Web App Support (App installation, Offline usage)
• PWA installation notification (Chromium-based browsers only)
• Accessibility tested

Built With

This project is built as a monorepo. Currently, it only contains the following packages

• cv-content: Generation for multiple static html files using JSONSchema and resumed
• cv-wrapper: Vue based SPA used as entrypoint to dynamically serve cv-content and provide additional features

The following lists contain the important technologies used to implement this application.

cv-content:

• JSONResume (to define JSON content for CV)
• resumed (to generate .html files of CV and validate JSON Schema)
• html-minifier-terser (to optimize .html files)
• puppeteer (to generate .pdf file of CV)
• prettier (to format .json files)
• concurrently (to allow for parallel build execution and speed increase)

cv-wrapper:

• Vue (JavaScript framework used to implement the application)
• vue-i18n (Internationalization support for Vue)
• PrimeVue (UI components library)
• PrimeIcons (Icon set used for PrimeVue)
• PrimeFlex (CSS utility library)
• Pinia (State management solution for Vue)
• VueUse (Collection of useful Vue Composition API helpers)
• flag-icons (Predefined flag icons based on ISO standard)

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

This project requires Node.js to run. It uses bun to manage dependencies. You need to have both tools installed.

Info: If you want to use npm as alternative to bun, just replace all commands in this guide with npm instead of bun.

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/devtobi/cv.git

2. Install dependencies

bun install

3. Optional: Install puppeteer Chrome browser on your machine (only required .pdf generation)

bun run prepare

Usage

To get started using this repository, you need to edit the .json files inside the data directory for your own CV.

Tip: Each file represents the data for generation a CV in a specific language. You can create as many .json files as you want. The build tools will automatically handle them. Keep in mind that the filename is used as a path inside the generated assets for web deployment.

Example: es.json will generate a file index.html under the es directory and thus be served under /es/index.html.

Local Usage

Info: Please note your .json files need to be written in JSONResume schema. You can use bun run format to format your files and bun run validate to check if your edits are valid, according to JSONResume.

If you want to build your CV locally, you need to install a theme onto your system, as this repository does not come with one by default. Themes are published as npm packages in the format jsonresume-theme-*. Take a look at the available themes here.

Install your desired theme as development dependency using bun install -D jsonresume-theme-* (or npm install -D jsonresume-theme-*). Then set your theme by exporting an environment variable named THEME to the name of your theme (e.g. export THEME=jsonresume-theme-basic).

Info: Keep in note the commands for exporting environment variables might differ depending on your operating system.

To build the whole monorepo use the command bun run build. The command builds an .html version and a .pdf version and places those files into specific subdirectories for each language your CV was written in. On top of that, it builds the Vue based wrapper application. In the end both build folders are combined into a single dist folder. This folder can be served as is.

Usage with GitHub actions

This repository provides custom workflows to validate or build and deploy your CV. You can find the workflows under .github/workflows.

The validation will run on every push to any branch. Build and deployment can only be triggered on your main branch via a manual trigger through the GitHub Actions GUI.

The workflows use a custom action to set up required tooling for running inside CI/CD environments. It uses caching to speed up execution time when no changes inside bun.lockb were found.

Info: As you will not change any dependencies as a normal user of this repository, you will greatly benefit from the caching mechanism.

You can set run options via the GUI for the workflow execution like:

• theme: Theme to use for building website and/or PDF document (jsonresume-theme-<theme>), required
• deploy: Whether to deploy the website or not, default false
• node-version: NodeJS version to use, default is lts/*
• bun-version: Bun version to use, default is latest
• chrome-version: Chrome version to use, default is stable

Note: To deploy as GitHub Pages, you need to have it correctly configured and enabled. See GitHub documentation for more information.
