Usage

Development

To run the project in development mode with auto-reloading using nodemon, run:

pnpm dev

This will start the server and automatically reload it on file changes.

How It Works

1. Data: Edit the CV content in inputs/lorem.ts.

2. Markdown templates: Stored in views. layouts is reserved for meta data. Use Handlebars variables to insert data into the CV. For example, in your markdown file:

   # {{me.name}}
   
   **Job Title**: {{me.job}}
   
   ## Contact Information
   
   - Email: {{contact.email}}

3. Rendering: The Handlebars templates are dynamically rendered into HTML. You can preview your CV in a web browser and print it as a PDF with control p.
