ResuMate

I developed Resumate as a portfolio project for the foundations section at ALX Software Engineering. ResuMate is a web application designed to help individuals craft professional and visually appealing resumes with ease.

Please note that this work is still in progress.

Resumate

A friendly resume builderapplication.

Description 💡

Resumate is a resume builder web application.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. "Build your skills not your resume" - Yes but resume's are required for job applications. Getting all your skills on paper can be stressfull. We have all had those moments, where exclaim - "mm, here is a job oppening, I need a resume" - but know we end not writing a resume to an expectation. Now, instead of getting stuck with ideas, use resumate as your resume builder.

Authentication 🔑

Passwords are no fun. Resumate features a passwordless user authentication process managed by Axios, Google and Apple . The process works as follows:

1. User enters email (for login) or both email + username (for signup). Front-end initially sends email/username to back-end.

   1. If logging in, and an account does not exist with the given email, back-end returns a redirect code, and user is directed to sign-up.
   2. Otherwise, back-end generates and returns a challenge token associated with the email.

2. Front-end temporarily stores challenge token in localStorage, then uses the Axios API to send a login email to the user. The login email includes a random code that user must enter to verify account.

3. Upon entering the verfication code, the user is redirected to the home page of Resumate. The redirect occurs on a URL hashed by Axios which the front-end parses to retrieve the user's Axios profile.

4. Front-end pulls up challenge token from localStorage and returns it to the back-end with the verified email. Back-end generates and returns a bearer token in the form of a cookie.

   1. After being returned to the back-end, the challenge token is cleared from localStorage.

5. The bearer token has been set and the user can fully acccess their profile!
