Svelte Resume

Flexible, customizable template for creating a printed pdf resume.

Built with Svelte. Design inspired by enhancv.

npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
cd svelte-app

Note that you will need to have Node.js installed.

Get started

Clone to your local computer using

git clone https://github.com/theresamorelli/svelte-resume.git

Install the dependencies...

cd svelte-resume
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. You should see the app running! Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.

Using Svelte Resume

Get started by replacing the dummy data with your info! Name and summary go in Header.svelte, and everything else goes in Body.svelte (both located in src/components/structural).

Adjust the appearance and fit your unique content by changing global css variables for color, spacing, and other appearance items. These are located in the :root selector at the top of global.css (example: --link-color). This particular configuration is designed to adapt to different content and maintain alignment.

Just a note: the particular settings optimize for my current version of Google Chrome (80.0.3987.132) with 8.5 x 11"-size PDF and Print Settings margins set to 'none'. Might look funky with other browsers or settings.

Preview how your resume will look in the browser with Print Preview. Create a PDF using your computer's print to PDF functionality.

Change styles and add your own components based on your resume's specific needs!

Production Mode

Should you need to host on the web:

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json:

"start": "sirv public --single"

Deploying to the web

With now

Install now if you haven't already:

npm install -g now

Then, from within your project folder:

cd public
now deploy --name my-project

As an alternative, use the Now desktop client and simply drag the unzipped project folder to the taskbar icon.

With surge

Install surge if you haven't already:

npm install -g surge
