Deno Resume

🦕📄 A Deno resume website builder using tailwind

• On Deno https://deno.land/x/resume
• On Deno Deploy https://deno-resume.deno.dev/
• On Github https://github.com/reggi/deno-resume

I saught out to create a resume website with Deno. My requirments were as follows:

• ✅ To serve a Resume webpage as a route using Deno
• ✅ To generiate a static HTML document with no extenral CSS OR JS dependencies
• ✅ To customize print css clases for people to easily print the page
• ✅ To export create a PDF of the site programatically

This project achieves all of those goals 🎉.

How it works

The resume data is a JSON object. Heres the type definition. Here's an example of the data. This is used as the main props passed into the Resume page component.

• Example HTML Export
• Example PDF Export

I've put some detail into the serveral ways this project can be used and I'll try and document some usages here.

Programmatic Usage

If you want to run your own resume page, say on Deno Deploy this is a single-file that would get you started.

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.188.0/http/server.ts"
import { router } from "https://crux.land/router@0.0.12"
import resume from "https://deno.land/x/resume/mod.ts"
import data from "https://deno.land/x/resume/example/thomas-anderson.json" assert { type: "json" }
import theme from "https://deno.land/x/resume/theme.json" assert { type: "json" }

await serve(router({
  "/": resume({
    theme,
    ...data,
  }),
}))

Theming

The theme is a JSON object where the key is a CSS selector and the value are tailwind classes. twind does not have support for print(), I added the ability to expand that keyword. Anything within the print() paraenthesis will be given the print: prefix. I also added in feature for setting tag attributes using the syntax [width=20] this could be used for setting image sizes and alt text or really any attribute.

{
  "body": "print(text-xs) mx-auto max-w-screen-lg py-10 px-10",
  "a": "font-medium text-blue-600 dark:text-blue-500 hover:underline",
  ".topSection": "mb-3 relative",
  ".name": "print(text-2xl) text-4xl",
  ".downloadLink": "print(hidden) absolute pt-5 top-0 right-0",
  ".job": "flex mb-3",
  ".jobImage": "flex-none pr-3 pt-1",
  ".jobImage img": "rounded-full",
  ".job h2": "print(text-lg) text-xl",
  ".job h3": "print(text-base) inline mr-3 text-lg",
  ".jobSummary": "mb-2",
  ".label": "print(font-normal) text-xs font-semibold inline-block px-1 lowercase rounded text-sky-600 bg-sky-200 last:mr-0 mr-1"
}

CLI Usage

The CLI is broken down into 3 different scripts.

• ./pdf/cmd.ts
• ./serve/cmd.ts
• ./render/cmd.ts

This isolates dependencies for each, meaning if you just wanted to say render you don't need to install the pdf dependencies (puppeteer). All of these files are dynamically imported into the single ./cmd.ts file which will be used for this documentation, but you could call any of these files directly for individual usage.

Serve a JSON file

deno run ./cmd.ts --serve --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json
# or with permissions
deno run --allow-read --allow-net ./cmd.ts --serve --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json

Generate a PDF

deno run ./cmd.ts --pdf ./example/output/resume.pdf --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json
# or with permissions
deno run --allow-read --allow-env --allow-write --allow-run --allow-net ./cmd.ts --pdf ./example/output/resume.pdf --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json

Generate a static HTML File

deno run ./cmd.ts --html ./example/output/index.html --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json
# or with permissions
deno run --allow-read --allow-write ./cmd.ts --html ./example/output/index.html --json ./example/thomas-anderson.json
