Resume Generator

This is a resume generator application that allows you to generate a professional resume using customizable templates and data sources.

Features

• Generate resumes in PDF and HTML formats
• Customize resume content using JSON and Markdown files
• Modular components for easy editing and extension
• Built with React (JSX), Rollup, and Node.js

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• OPENAI_API_KEY should be set in environment variables

Direct Installation (Have bugs, use the other installation route)

Run npm install resumeagen

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bsaranga/resume-generator.git
   cd resume-generator

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Usage

1. Edit Resume Data

• Update the files in the data/ directory (e.g., header.json, context.json, job_description.md) to customize your resume content.
• You can also modify templates in src/ and src/components/ for layout and style changes.

2. Generate a Resume (CLI Usage)

To generate a resume using the command-line interface, use:

node resumeagen.js generate <contextPath> <jobDescriptionPath>

• <contextPath>: Path to your context file (e.g., data/context.json)
• <jobDescriptionPath>: Path to your job description file (e.g., data/job_description.md)

This will generate a new resume and output a PDF (resume.pdf) in your current directory.

3. Regenerate PDF Only (CLI Usage)

If you have already generated your resume and want to tweak or regenerate the PDF (for example, after editing resume.mdx or making layout changes), use:

node ./resumeagen.js regen-pdf

You can also specify a custom scale factor for the PDF:

node ./resumeagen.js regen-pdf --scale 1.5

This will regenerate resume.pdf from the current HTML output.

3. Development Workflow

During development, you may want to build or preview the resume manually:

• To build the resume (HTML, PDF, etc.):

  npm run build

• To start bundle watch:

  npm start

• Open src/index.html in your browser to preview the resume.

4. Customization

• Modify src/index.jsx and components in src/components/ to change the look and feel.

• Update or add prompts in src/agents/prompts/ for AI-driven resume rewriting.

• For custom scripts, check the package.json scripts section.
