RenderCV is a Python application that creates a $\LaTeX$ CV as a PDF from a JSON/YAML input file. Currently, it only supports one theme (*classic*). An example PDF can be seen [here](https://github.com/sinaatalay/rendercv/blob/main/John_Doe_CV.pdf?raw=true). More themes are planned to be supported in the future.
|
|
|
|
**What does it do?**
|
|
|
|
- It parses a YAML (or JSON) file that looks like this:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
cv:
|

|
|

highlights:
|
|
- AmIACompany is a **technology** (markdown is
|
|
supported) company that provides web-based
|
|
engineering applications that enable the
|
|
simulation and optimization of products and
|
|
manufacturing tools.
|
|
- Modeled and simulated a metal-forming process deep
|
|
drawing using finite element analysis with
|
|
open-source software called CalculiX.
|
|
```
|
|
- Then, it validates the input, such as checking if the dates are consistent, checking if the URLs are correct, etc.
|
|
- Then, it creates a $\LaTeX$ file.
|
|
- Finally, it renders the $\LaTeX$ file to generate the PDF, and you don't need $\LaTeX$ installed on your PC because RenderCV comes with [TinyTeX](https://yihui.org/tinytex/).

## Quick Start Guide
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (3.10 or newer).
|
|
2. Run the command below to install RenderCV.
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install rendercv
|
|
```
|
|
3. Run the command below to generate a sample input file (`Full_Name_CV.yaml`). The file will be generated in the current working directory.
|
|
```bash
|
|
rendercv new "Full Name"
|
|
```
|
|
4. Edit the contents of the `Full_Name_CV.yaml` file.
|
|
5. Run the command below to generate your $\LaTeX$ CV.
|
|
```bash
|
|
rendercv render Full_Name_CV.yaml
|
|
```

A more detailed user guide can be found [here](https://sinaatalay.github.io/rendercv/user_guide).

I documented the whole code with docstrings and used comments throughout the code. The code documentation can be found [here](https://sinaatalay.github.io/rendercv/documentation/).
