This python script creates PDF resumes using variables from a YAML file. You can give it a YAML file to use, or a directory if you want to process multiple YAML files one after another. If no file name, or directory was passed, it will look for vars.yaml as its input YAML file by default.
The script uses pdfkit which depends on wkhtmltopdf.
Install wkhtmltopdf:
Debian/Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
macOS:
$ brew install homebrew/cask/wkhtmltopdf
If you are using Windows, I don't know, search for how to install wkhtmltopdf.
Now, installing the required libraries
pip install -r requirements.txt
or pip3 for python3
- Add the data you want to display in the resume to
vars.yamlor the YAML file you want to use. Some fields are requried and some aren't, depending on the template.
Look in the yamls directory for examples.
