Getting started
1. Download and install dependencies
Clone this repository:
git clone [email protected]:michaelclemens/resume-builder-app.git
Install npm dependencies:
cd resume-builder-app
npm ci
2. Create and seed the database
If you're using Docker on your computer, the following script will set up a PostgreSQL database using the docker-compose.yml file at the root of
your project:
npm run db:up
Run the following command to create your PostgreSQL database:
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
When npx prisma migrate dev is executed against a newly created database, seeding is also triggered. The seed file in
prisma/seed.ts will be executed and your database will be populated with a sample resume.
3. Configuring your environment
cp .env.example .env
Ensure these variables are correct. The CHROME_EXECUTABLE_PATH is used by Puppeteer when downloading a PDF of the resume. To find this locally go to
chrome://version/ in a Chrome browser and copy the Executable Path value
4. Start the app
npm run dev
The app is now running, navigate to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to explore its UI.
