Getting Started

  1. Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/ryanbalieiro/vue-resume-template
  1. Navigate to the root directory of the project and install all dependencies with npm:

 "preloaderEnabled": false

Template Customization

1. Changing the content

The application content, including texts and images, is conveniently stored within the public/ folder. Inside this directory, you’ll come across two folders:

  • public/data ➔ This directory hosts a collection of JSON files that house the entirety of the application’s content.
  • public/images➔ Here, you’ll find a collection of icons and photos that the application utilizes.

You can personalize the app’s content by modifying the data within these two folders according to your preferences.

2. Quickly customizing the colors

Adjusting the theme colors can be done quickly by editing the variables found in src/scss/_variables.scss. To illustrate, a variation of the theme featuring shades of green can be created by modifying the following variables:

$primary: #13a452; /** changing the 'primary' color to green **/
$dark: #021307; /** changing the 'dark' color to a dark shade of green **/
$background-color: #f8fff8;

Resulting in:

alt green

3. Adding and removing languages

To add or remove languages, open public/data/settings.json and modify the supportedLanguages field as needed. Use the default property to specify the fallback language that should be used if the application doesn’t support the user’s preferred language.

{
    "supportedLanguages": [
        {
            "name": "English",
            "id": "en",
            "flagUrl": "images/flags/en.png",
            "default": true
        },

        {
            "name": "日本語",
            "id": "ja",
            "flagUrl": "images/flags/ja.png"
        }
    ]
}

The public/images/flags/ folder already contains a collection of flags for commonly used languages. If you require a specific flag icon that isn’t there, you can download it at no cost from this source.

To deactivate support for multiple languages, keep only a single language within the array. This will automatically hide the language picker menu.

4. Adding, removing and reordering sections

Inside the public/data/sections.json file, you will come across two arrays: one for sections and the other for categories. Every section in the application should be linked to a corresponding category. These categories are used in grouping sections within the mobile navigation.

Adding, removing or reordering the portfolio sections and categories can be achieved by making modifications to these arrays as needed.

For localizing the section and category titles, ensure that the id of each section and category has a corresponding translation in public/data/strings.json.

public/data/strings.json

{
    "en": {
        "section1_id": "Section 1 ID",
        "section2_id": "Section 2 ID",
        "section3_id": "Section 3 ID"
    },
    
    "ja": {
        "section1_id": "セクション1 ID",
        "section2_id": "セクション2 ID",
        "section3_id": "セクション3 ID"
    }
}

5. Customizing a section

Each section entry in public/data/sections.json comprises the following fields:

{
    "id": "experience",
    "categoryId": "background",
    "component": "TimelineSection",
    "jsonPath": "data/sections/experience.json",
    "faIcon": "fa-solid fa-briefcase"
}
  • id ➔ A unique identifier for the section, also used as a key to fetch the section’s name within strings.json
  • categoryId ➔ Specifies the category to which the section belongs.
  • component ➔ Indicates the Vue component responsible for rendering the section.
  • jsonPath ➔ A reference pointing to the JSON file containing the section’s content.
  • faIcon ➔ The FontAwesome icon associated with the section.

To modify the content of a section, open and edit its respective JSON file. Keep in mind that each Vue component may require a specific JSON structure. For proper structuring of section JSON files, refer to the existing ones as a guide.

6. Localizing fields

To stay in line with the project’s guidelines, put the translations for your static texts into the public/data/strings.json file. This file acts as a hub for all your global localization needs. For section and component-specific content, create a locales field to encapsulate the corresponding translations.

Each localizable object adheres to the following structure:

{
    "locales": {
        "en": {
            "hello": "Hello!",
            "age: "Age"
        },
        
        "es": {
            "hello": "Hola!",
            "age": "Edad"
        },
        
        (...)
    }
}

7. Adding functionality to the contact form

Making the contact form functional requires the creation of your own server-side implementation within the ContactForm.vue file. Please note that the current template only includes the client-side implementation, accompanied by a simulated delay using a placeholder timeout to mimic the waiting period for requests:

const _sendMessage = (values) => {
    const feedbackView = layout.getFeedbackView()
    feedbackView.showActivitySpinner(data.getString("sendingMessage") + "...")
    submitAttempts++

    /** The message sending logic goes here... **/
    //setTimeout(() => {
    //    if(submitAttempts % 2 !== 0) {
    //        _onMessageSent()
    //    }
    //    else {
    //        _onMessageError()
    //    }
    //}, 1000)
    /** ************************************** **/
}

Building for production

Open the vite.config.js file and set the base directory for your application. This setting defines the main path that your website will be hosted under.

export default defineConfig({
  base: '/vue-resume-template',
  plugins: [vue()],
})

In simple terms, if you consider GitHub hosting the GitHub Pages site for this repo at the URL https://ryanbalieiro.github.io/vue-resume-template/, the correct base directory to set is /vue-resume-template. This ensures that the application’s resources are correctly loaded and linked when accessed from this URL.

To compile your project for production, execute:

npm run build

This command triggers a series of processes that package your code, assets, and other necessary files, ultimately creating a production-ready version of your project. After running the command, you’ll find the compiled files within the dist folder. This is the folder you should use for deploying your application to a live server or hosting platform.
