Generate your CV
To generate your CV, you need to create a YAML file with your data and use the theme to generate the CV.
Generate your data with the theme
When your YAML CV file is ready, you can generate your CV using the following command:
cvwonder generate --input=cv.yml --output=generated/
Your CV will be generated in the generated/ directory.
The generated HTML file name is based on the input YAML file name. For example, if your input YAML file is germain.yml, the generated HTML file will be germain.html.
It allows you to generate multiple CVs from different YAML files without overwriting the generated HTML file.
Watch the changes
You can automatically regenerate your CV when updating either the YAML file or the theme by adding the --watch flag to the generate command:
cvwonder generate --input=cv.yml --output=generated/ --watch
To enable the watch feature on CV Wonder, you have to inject an internal js script in the template. This script will automatically reload the page when the CV data or the Theme is updated.
<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js"></script>
Starting CV WOnder version 0.3.0, the live reload script is automatically injected in the template.
Serve the generated CV
You can render and serve your CV on a simple HTTP server which will automatically refresh the page when updating either the YAML file or the theme.
cvwonder serve --input=cv.yml --output=generated/ --watch
The serve command will open your default browser and display the rendered CV.
Serving your CV will help you to see the changes in real-time.
