ancv 0.14.1

Render 'JSON Resume' sources to ANSI-enriched output for terminal clients (cURL, wget, ...) to consume.

ancv

Getting you an CV (ANSI-v 🤡) straight to your and anyone else's terminals.

Be warned though, for this is kinda useless and just for fun:

Getting started

1. Create a resume according to the JSON Resume Schema (see also the schema specification) either:

   • manually (see this sample for a possible starting point),
   • exporting from LinkedIn using Joshua Tzucker's LinkedIn exporter (repo), or
   • exporting from one of the platforms advertised as offering JSON resume integration.

2. Create a public gist named resume.json with those resume contents. See here for a working example from the author.

3. Try it out, using...

   • curl:

     curl -L ancv.io/username
     

     with -L being shorthand for --location, allowing you to follow the redirect from http://ancv.io through to https://ancv.io. It's shorter than its also perfectly viable alternative:

     curl https://ancv.io/username
     

     Lastly, you might want to page the output for easiest reading, top-to-bottom:

     curl -sL ancv.io/username | less
     

   • wget:

     wget -O - --quiet ancv.io/username
     

     where -O is short for --output-document, used here to redirect to stdout.

   • PowerShell (5 and 7):

     (iwr ancv.io/username).Content
     

     where iwr is an alias for Invoke-Webrequest, returning an object.

   For a quick, working example replace username with alexpovel.

Configuration

All configuration is optional.

The CV is constructed as follows:

These components may be controlled using the ancv field in your resume.json:

{
   "basics": {},
   "education": [],
   "meta": {
     "ancv": {
        "template": "Sequential",
        "theme": "basic",
        "ascii_only": false,
        "language": "en"
     }
   }
}

The shown values are the default ones. All fields, including the ancv one itself, are optional, and the above defaults will be set for omitted fields. This means a valid JSON resume (without an ancv section) is also valid here. The currently available options can be printed out:

$ pip install ancv >> /dev/null && ancv list

Installation as a library

For local use, install the package as usual. Note that it's pretty heavy on the dependencies.

pip install ancv
