CV Maker :rocket:

LucidCV

LucidCV is a simple CV maker which collects data from the user and creates a CV for the user. You can select the CV theme that you need and after creating the CV you can download a copy of it. Those who wish to contribute are welcome 😄 .

How to setup locally

• Install nodejs and npm
• run git clone https://github.com/aswinzz/LucidCV.git
• Enter into the cloned folder
• run sudo npm install
• run sudo npm start
• Go to localhost:3000 in your browser

How It Works

The user enters the data and after the form is submitted a json file is created and depending on the selected theme and the json data CV is prepared.

• File Structure :
  • The folder Public contains the css,javascripts and images needed for the website
  • The folder Views contains the code of homepage and cv templates,they are in ejs format(embedded javascript).
    • index.ejs : contains the code for homepage which contains the form that takes the details of the users.I have used materialize css as the frontend framework.
    • resume.ejs : What this code does is, format the json data obtained from the user into a CV.
  • The folder routes contains a file index.js this file creates the json file when the user submits the form using a POST request and formats the resume.ejs file.
