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.

Generated HTML file name

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

Only on supported themes

The watch feature is available on themes that have included the livereload.js script.

<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js"></script>

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

Serving the CV

The serve command will open your default browser and display the rendered CV.
