Install the Package

npm i resume-lite

Implementation

import resume from 'resume-lite';
import { sampleData } from './sampleData';

function generateNewResume() {
    const html = resume.generate(stack, sampleData);
    console.log(html);
}

generateNewResume();

Conversion to PDF Example

We recommend using puppeteer for HTML to PDF conversion

import resume from 'resume-lite';
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

const html = resume.generate(template, testData);

//Launch new puppeteer page
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

//Set page content to generated resume HTML
await page.setContent(html, { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded', timeout: 0 });

//Get resume height
const height = await page.evaluate(() => document.documentElement.scrollHeight);

//Puppeteer built in PDF generator
const pdfBuffer = await page.pdf({
    width: '8.27in',   // A4 width in inches
    height,
    printBackground: true,
});

//Write file locally
fs.writeFileSync(`resume.pdf`, buffer);

await page.close();
await browser.close();
