Usage

resume --help

Show a list of options and commands for the CLI.

resume init

Creates a new resume.json file in your current working directory.

Complete the resume.json with your text editor. Be sure to follow the schema (available at http://jsonresume.org).

resume validate

Validates your resume.json against our schema tests to ensure it complies with the standard. Tries to identify where any errors may be occurring.

resume export [fileName]

Exports your resume locally in a stylized HTML or PDF format.

A list of available themes can be found here: http://jsonresume.org/themes/

Please npm install the theme you wish to use locally before attempting to export it.

Options:

• --format <file type> Example: --format pdf
• --theme <name> Example: --theme even

resume serve

Starts a web server that serves your local resume.json. It will live reload when you make edits to your resume.json.

Options:

• --port <port>
• --theme <name>

When developing themes, simply change into your theme directory and run resume serve --theme . (which tells it to run the local folder as the specified theme)

supported resume input types

• json: via JSON.parse.
• yaml: via yaml-js
• quaff: if --resume is a directory, then the path is passed to quaff and the resulting json is used as the resume. quaff supports a variety of formats in the directory, including javascript modules.

resume data

• Setting --resume - tells the cli to read resume data from standard input (stdin), and defaults --type to application/json.
• Setting --resume <path> reads resume data from path.
• Leaving --resume unset defaults to reading from resume.json on the current working directory.

resume mime types

Supported resume data mime types are:

• application/json
• text/yaml

Development

to test the cli, run the dev script:

npm run dev -- [cli arguments can be passed after the double-dash]
