CV Generation Tool

Source data YAML files should go inside the source_data folder.

Outputs will be generated in the output folder:

• CV-[Name].html
• json folder

Tip

To save the HTML CV as a PDF, print it using Chrome and uncheck the header and footer options.

Setup

Important

You need Python and Poetry.

After cloning the repository, navigate to the project's folder and run:

poetry install

Usage

Options:

• --html: Generate the CV in HTML format using the template.
• --json: Generate JSON files with the CV data.
• --full: Include optional details (e.g., driving license). Corresponds to fullCV in the HTML template.
• --filename: Specify the name of the YAML file under source_data you want to process (leave blank to process all).

Examples:

Generate the CV with HTML and JSON outputs:

cd cv_generator
poetry run python main.py --html --json [--full] [--filename cv-x.yml]

cd cv_generator
poetry run python main.py --html --full --filename cv-example.yml
