CV Generator

My implementation of the CV application project for The Odin Project. Try it here!

Description:

This is a small react app where users can input their information and generate a CV/résumé. I set up the application using Vite and deployed it using Vercel.

• When you have finished writing your resume, press the Generate my CV! button, print preview the page (cmd-p, ctrl-p), and save to PDF.

Features:

• Button to automatically fill out input fields so that users can preview a generated example CV
• Button to clear all input fields
• Buttons for adding and deleting educational and work experiences

Future Features:

• Add a Technical Skills and Projects section to the form.
• Incorporate AI to proof read and suggest improvements to your resume.

What I learned:

• How to use Vite to set up a new React project
• Basics of writing JSX
• Basics of React, including:
  • Writing, rendering, importing and exporting components
  • Rendering lists of components using the map() method of Array
  • Conditionally rendering UI
  • Using keys appropriately so that React can handle the DOM effectively and efficiently
  • Passing data between components using props
  • Managing state and sharing state between components
  • Controlling components such as input fields
