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 https://jsonresume.org/schema/).

resume validate

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

resume export [fileName]

Exports your resume in a stylized HTML or PDF format.

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

Please npm install the theme you wish to use 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 changes to your resume.json.

Options:

• --port <port>
• --theme <name>

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

This is not intended for production use, it's a convenience for theme development or to visualize changes to your resume while editing it.

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
