kava Theme! ☕️+🥛

kava it's a JSON Resume theme based on Theme Boilerplate and Caffeine Theme.

Why?

I wanted to build my own resume theme, so I decided to start from a theme I like a lot and tring to make it a bit more personal.

I also wanted I simple environment, so I used the boilerplate provided by JSON Resume instead of using the awesome work done by kelyvin for it's Caffeine Theme. If you are looking for a more complete environment take a look at the caffine theme.

Currently it doesn't have any major style difference from it's parent Caffeine.

Changes from Caffeine Theme

Environment

• Simpler and less sofisticated development environment, the same as JSON Resume boilerplate. (Caffeine has live re-building and automatic page reloading)

Visual differences

• Add tags to projects and skills
• Switch from UPPERCASE to Capitalize on most text

Usage

1. Download JSON Resume CLI

npm install -g resume-cli

2. Download the theme from npm

npm install -g jsonresume-theme-kava

3. Use resume cli to build your resume

resume export resume.html --theme kava

PDF output

Probably you want a PDF version of your resume...

JSONResume CLI should be able to make a PDF out of your JSON but I always struggled to get it to work, so I switched to a more direct and effective approach.

I use Puppeteer-CLI to make a PDF from my HTML resume.

npm install -g puppeteer-cli
puppeteer --wait-until networkidle0 --margin-top 0 --margin-right 0 --margin-bottom 0 --margin-left 0 --format A4 print resume.html resume.pdf

Obviously you could write a very simple Node script to use the real Puppeteer and the render function to make a PDF without first exporting the HTML version.
