## Install
|
|
|
|
FluentCV requires a recent version of [Node.js][4] and [NPM][5]. Then:
|
|
|
|
1. (Optional, for PDF support) Install the latest official [wkhtmltopdf][3] binary for your platform.
|
|
2. Install **fluentCV** by running `npm install fluentcv -g`.
|
|
3. You're ready to go.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
Assuming you've got a JSON-formatted resume handy, generating resumes in different formats and combinations easy. Just run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluentcv [inputs] [outputs] [-t theme].
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `[inputs]` is one or more .json resume files, separated by spaces; `[outputs]` is one or more destination resumes, each prefaced with the `-o` option; and `[theme]` is the desired theme. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate all resume formats (HTML, PDF, DOC, TXT, YML, etc.)
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.all -t modern
|
|
|
|
# Generate a specific resume format
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.html
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.pdf
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.md
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.doc
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.json
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.txt
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o out/resume.yml
|
|
|
|
# Specify 2 inputs and 3 outputs
|
|
fluentcv in1.json in2.json -o out.html -o out.doc -o out.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see something to the effect of:
|
|
|
|
```

## Advanced
|
|
|
|
### Applying a theme
|
|
|
|
You can specify a predefined or custom theme via the optional `-t` parameter. For a predefined theme, include the theme name. For a custom theme, include the path to the custom theme's folder.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -t modern
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -t ~/foo/bar/my-custom-theme/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As of v0.7.0, available predefined themes are `modern`, `minimist`, and `hello-world`.
|
|
|
|
### Merging resumes
|
|
|
|
You can **merge multiple resumes together** by specifying them in order from most generic to most specific:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Merge specific.json onto base.json and generate all formats
|
|
fluentcv base.json specific.json -o resume.all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for overriding a base (generic) resume with information from a specific (targeted) resume. For example, you might override your generic catch-all "software developer" resume with specific details from your targeted "game developer" resume, or combine two partial resumes into a "complete" resume. Merging follows conventional [extend()][9]-style behavior and there's no arbitrary limit to how many resumes you can merge:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluentcv in1.json in2.json in3.json in4.json -o out.html -o out.doc
|
|
Reading JSON resume: in1.json
|
|
Reading JSON resume: in2.json
|
|
Reading JSON resume: in3.json
|
|
Reading JSON resume: in4.json
|
|
Merging in4.json onto in3.json onto in2.json onto in1.json
|
|
Generating HTML resume: out.html
|
|
Generating WORD resume: out.doc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multiple targets
|
|
|
|
You can specify **multiple output targets** and FluentCV will build them:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate out1.doc, out1.pdf, and foo.txt from me.json.
|
|
fluentcv me.json -o out1.doc -o out1.pdf -o foo.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also omit the output file(s) and/or theme completely:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Equivalent to "fluentcv resume.json resume.all -t modern"
|
|
fluentcv resume.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using .all
|
|
|
|
The special `.all` extension tells FluentCV to generate all supported output formats for the given resume. For example, this...
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate all resume formats (HTML, PDF, DOC, TXT, etc.)
|
|
fluentcv me.json -o out/resume.all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
..tells FluentCV to read `me.json` and generate `out/resume.md`, `out/resume.doc`, `out/resume.html`, `out/resume.txt`, `out/resume.pdf`, and `out/resume.json`.
|
|
|
|
### Prettifying
|
|
|
|
FluentCV applies [js-beautify][10]-style HTML prettification by default to HTML-formatted resumes. To disable prettification, the `--nopretty` or `-n` flag can be used:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluentcv resume.json out.all --nopretty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Silent Mode
|
|
|
|
Use `-s` or `--silent` to run in silent mode:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o someFile.all -s
|
|
fluentcv resume.json -o someFile.all --silent
|
|
```
