Deployment

This is a guide on how to build the source from scratch, along with setting up Firebase and related cloud functions to be able to export PDFs just like the original deployment of rxresu.me.

Requirements

• A Firebase project
• Works on both Linux, macOS and Windows
• Requires Node.js & NPM installed on the machine

Setting up Firebase

1. Create a new Firebase project by visiting Firebase Console and clicking on Add Project

2. Disable Google Analytics, or keep it enabled as per your requirements. Most people wouldn't need it.

3. Wait until Project is created, then click on Continue

4. Navigate to Realtime Database, and click on Create Database

5. Select any location that's nearby to you, and most importantly, create the database in Test Mode and click on Enable

6. Go back to Project Overview and click on Web and skip through every other step by clicking Next.

7. Copy configuration variables of your project, or keep this page open as you will need it later

Cloning the Repository

1. Run this command on your machine's terminal or Command Prompt

git clone git@github.com:AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume.git

2. Copy the file .env.example to .env and start editing the file

cp .env.example .env

3. Copy configuration variables from last step to the .env file, it's fine to have FIREBASE_MEASUREMENTID empty if you had Google Analytics disabled.

4. Run npm install on the terminal/command prompt

5. After that's done, run npm run build and allow some time for the process to build
