How to use

• Create an API key on Google Cloud for Google Spreadsheets
• Create a file called .env.local on the project root and add your secret key on it:

REACT_APP_API_KEY=YourSecretKey

• Clone the example spreadsheet on this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wLQ-nwaZcGZtafRrYnJi02huqao4YULmfU3m03m43U4/edit#gid=0
• Set the sharing options on the newly cloned spreadsheet to "anyone with the link".
• Get the id from your spreadsheet. The id comes after the /d/ in the url.
• Go to your .env.local file and add that spreadsheet id:

REACT_APP_SPREADSHEET_KEY=YourSpreadsheetId

• Run yarn install and then yarn start

That should be it. You should have your CV/CoverLetter generator running on your localhost. :)
