🧠 Resume Management System

FastAPI-based resume management backend

🚀 Quick Start

1️⃣ Clone the repo

2️⃣ Set up a virtual environment

Windows:

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

macOS / Linux:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

---

3️⃣ Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you get email_validator errors:

pip install email-validator

---

4️⃣ Configure environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

DATABASE_URL=mysql+pymysql://root:<YOUR_PASSWORD>@localhost:3306/resume_system
JWT_SECRET=super_secret_key
JWT_ALGORITHM=HS256

💡 Make sure the database exists! If not, create it manually in MySQL:

CREATE DATABASE resume_system CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;

---

5️⃣ Launch the FastAPI app

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

🧹 Notes

• Don’t push your .venv — it’s in .gitignore for a reason.
• Don’t commit .env either — that’s how you leak passwords.
• Use pip freeze > requirements.txt if you install new packages.
• Always run git pull before you start editing.
