CV Builder

Use ChatGPT to write your CV for you

You enter some basic info on a web form and ChatGPT (OpenAI) creates your CV, outputting it as a PDF file

Prerequisites

• The .env file. npm start will touch the .env file at the root of the server app, which is the ./server/ directory (it creates it if it is not there). Then, add an API key from OpenAI's website to the .env file. The format is:

  OPENAI_API_SECRET_KEY=enter-your-actual-key-here
  

  You can also add in PORT and HOST keys like this:

  HOST=localhost
  PORT=4000
  

  If you do not add these HOST and PORT keys the code will default to localhost and 4000, respectively. If you do not add the OpenAI API secret key then Nodemon, which runs the server, will fail to start properly but will not exit. If you put the key into the .env file and save the index.js file, Nodemon will restart successfully.
• npm start will create a new, empty ./server/uploads/ directory where your pictures will be uploaded.

Running the app

Start the server first by cd'ing into the ./server/ directory:

cd ./server/
npm start

... and then start the client:

cd ../client/
npm run build
serve -s build

Then head over to HTTP://localhost:3000 in your browser.
