Ive received questions from readers wondering about the résumé link on my page. I created the résumé using JSON Resume with the hope that it would make it easier to keep it up-to-date. I also love the idea of an open standard for résumés. So far, I have been very happy with the project and I am very grateful to the awesome team behind JSON Resume.
However, re-publishing the résumé became a manual step that I would sometimes forget when I rebuilt this site. This site is powered by Jekyll and Gulp helps me with some of the other asset related things.
I looked for an existing gulp plugin that would allow me to create HTML from my JSON Resume file. Since nothing existed, I did what anyone who had a few hours to kill would do… I made my own.
Introducing gulp-resume
The usage of this plugin is what you would expect. Make sure you npm install --save-dev gulp-resume and then add the following to your Gulpfile.js:
var resume = require('gulp-resume');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
gulp.task('resume', function() {
return gulp.src('resume.json')
.pipe(resume({
format: 'html',
theme: 'elegant'
}))
.pipe(rename('resume.html'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});
