Resume templating app.

Resume

Intro

This is a work in progress of my web app to produce various versions of my resume using templates. The idea is that often times it is beneficial to custom tailor a resume for each potential employer. However, it can be time consuming to re-write or manipulate text in most word processors. This allows the different aspects of the resume data to be saved in a data store and be injected into templates.

Installing and running

1. Clone this repo.
2. Inside of a terminal/command prompt, run npm install from within the cloned directory.
3. Setup data. Either a JSON file can be used or a a Firebase data source. By default, the app looks for a file named data.json in the root of the project. The file dataTemplate.json can be used to create data.json. If a different filename is desired, a new configuration file can be created in the ./config/ directory and the dataSource.location key should specify the name of the other file. If you Firebase is used for the data store, then dataTemplate.json can be imported to setup the data store. Then, the new config file should be updated so that dataSource.type is changed to "firebase" and dataSource.location reflects the root of the Firebase data store, ie https://myfirebaseapp.firebaseio.com/. See https://www.npmjs.com/package/config for more information on environment based configuration.
4. Run npm run watch for development. In a production environment, pm2 or forever can run node app/server.js to keep the site running.
5. Navigate to your browser at http://localhost:3000/

Developing

Run npm run lint:fix to ensure that the JS code matches the existing styles.

Run npm test to run the test specs.
