Modification of Kendall jsonresume scheme. The primary goal was to reorganize categories to fit on one single PDF printed page. Also add multilingual approach.

JSON Resume based on the kendall-gren theme

A theme for JSONResume, that relies on Bootstrap and FontAwesome, added with some personal flair.

Rendering overview

Usage

To first get started with this JSONResume theme, you’ll need to have the JSONResume CLI installed. If you haven’t already install it with npm install -g resume-cli.

After this, you can get your resume.json ready by typing resume init. After hitting enter, your resume will be initialized and you can edit it and fill in the neccessary fields. Check out the official resume-schema repository for more information on filling these fields.

When you are finished with your resume, you may test it by yet again opening the command line and typing resume serve --theme kendall to see how it looks with this theme. You can replace the word kendall with other theme names too.

Install the command line

We’re going to use the official resume-cli to run our development server.

Go ahead and install it:

npm install -g resume-cli

Install npm packages

We need to install the dependencies. cd into the theme folder we just downloaded and run:

npm install

This will read the local package.json and install the packages listed under dependencies.

Serve theme

While inside the theme folder, simply run:

node export.js ~/path/to/your/resume.json

e.g.

node export.js resume_demo.json

ℹ️	You could also place your resume.json in the root folder of this project and run: node export.js

You should now be able to render your html with a local server, for instance for VSCode:

code --install-extension ritwickdey.LiveServer

💡	Right click on the newly generated index.html Congratulations, you’ve made it!

The theme development can now begin.

Print a PDF version

To print the resume in pdf in a 100% fidelity mode use web browser OPERA. Respectively it’s built-in capture feature.

Before each print you can tweak the rendering by manipulating the rendered HTML code trough opera’s code inspector.

Multiple languages support

The categories are actually translated in:

• English (default)

• French

To switch languages, simply add the following lines at the bottom of your resume.json:

"meta": {
    "language": "fr"
}

Mention of contract type

To display a mention besides job dates, simply add the following lines at the bottom of your specific work position:

"meta": {
    "contractType": "Fixed-term contract"
}

NB: Fixed-term contract can be replaced by anything

Block layout flexibility

The following blocks can either be printed on right or left side or relative to another:

• languages

• volunteer

• certifications

To switch sides, simply add the following lines at the bottom of your resume.json:

"meta": {
    "languagesSide": "left",
    "volunteerSide": "right",
    "certificationsBeforeEducation": "true"
}

Tips

As of now, the theme supports the following profiles in the basics.profiles array.

• Facebook

• Github

• Twitter

• Google Plus

• YouTube

• Vimeo

• Linkedin

• Pinterest

• Flickr

• Behance

• Dribbble

• CodePen

• Soundcloud

• Steam

• Reddit

• Tumblr

• Stack Overflow

• Bitbucket

• Gitlab

Every single one of these is optional, and every field in the basics.profiles array must be entered without spaces. This theme will try to use the matching -square version of the icon from FontAwesome if it doesn’t already have support for one of your profiles. If you want support for more social networks, feel free to leave an issue, or even better, submit a pull request. Thanks.

If you want to keep your resume mobile-friendly, please limit the number of profiles to 10, please. No one should have over 10 profiles on their resume anyway.

Every section is optional also. If per se, you do not include the publications array in your resume.json, no publications section will appear.

If you find any other problems with this theme in specified, do feel free to leave an issue. Thanks.
