## Adjusting stylings and layout
This project uses LESS. Under `/less` global stylings are defined. You will find here imported fonts and the page layout.
Each resume has its own directory. For example 'resume-X' would be under `/resumes/resume-X`. Each resume directory contains a Mustache template and a less-file.
## Generating PDFs
[electroshot](https://github.com/mixu/electroshot) is used to generate PDFs. `convertToPdf()` in `/src/htmlToPdf.js` runs a short bash script for each resume running under `localhost:3000/resumes/resume-X`. By default the PDF size is A4. For more PDF settings check [mixu/electroshot](https://github.com/mixu/electroshot).
## Adding a template
Follow these steps:
- add folder in resumes, convention: 'resume-X'
- add `style.less` and `index.mustache` with same naming inside new folder
Sample content of `index.mustache`:
```html
<page class="a4">
<div id="resume1" class="resume">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
</page>
```
For further reference, check out existing templates.
## Icons
This project contains the [Google Material](https://material.io/icons/) and [fontawesome](http://fontawesome.io/icons/) icon sets.
## CSS3 Box-Shadows
Due to this [Chrome bug](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13975198/text-shadow-and-box-shadow-while-printing-chrome), CSS3 box-shadows are not rendered properly in the PDF files. The solution is to add this styling to elements with box-shadows:
```css
-webkit-print-color-adjust:exact;
-webkit-filter:opacity(1);
```
Unfortunately, fonts and images get blurred and lose quality. Therefore `fixBoxShadows()` in `/src/javascript.js` fixes this bug, by
1. searching for all elements with a box-shadow,
2. removing the box-shadow,
3. adding a new and absolute positioned element (with same size, position, border-radius and box-shadow) to the HTMl body,
4. and adding the stylings for `-webkit-print-color-adjust` and `-webkit-filter` to the new element.
If shadows may be displayed wrong, please check that the element with a box-shadow has a proper height, width and positioning.
## Adding fonts
To add a font to the project, search for the npm-module of the desired font, e.g. [roboto-fontface](https://www.npmjs.com/package/roboto-fontface) for 'Roboto'. Add dependency to `package.json` with `npm i --save`, e.g. `npm i --save roboto-fontface`.
Create a new less file in `/less/fonts`, e.g. 'roboto.less'. `/node_modules` are accessable through localhost:3000. That means if the corresponding woff-file is under `/node_modules/roboto-fontface/anyFont.woff` the source url needs to equal `/roboto-fontface/anyFont.woff`:
```less
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
src: url('/roboto-fontface/fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Thin.eot');
src: local('Roboto Thin'), local('Roboto-Thin'), url('/roboto-fontface/fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Thin.woff') format('woff'), url('/roboto-fontface/fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Thin.ttf') format('truetype')
font-weight: 100;
font-style: normal;
}
```
Import new less file in `/less/fonts.less`:
```less
@import "fonts/opensans.less";
@import "fonts/montserrat.less";
@import "fonts/raleway.less";
@import "fonts/opensans-condensed.less";
@import "fonts/material-design-icons.less";
@import "fonts/roboto.less";
```
