Resume PHP

JSON Résumé is a specification that was created as a way to structure résumé data. By using this specification, you can essentially write your résumé in a structured format and then export it into other formats. PHP Résumé, created by Steve McDougall, is a library that provides a type-safe way to build and work with résumés following the JSON Résumé schema.

#Features

• Type-Safe Builder Pattern: Fluent interface for building résumés
• Data Validation: Built-in validation for emails, URLs, and other fields
• JSON Resume Schema Compliance: Ensures output follows the JSON Resume standard
• Comprehensive Data Objects: Structured classes for all resume components
• Enums for Common Values: Pre-defined enums for skill levels, education types, and social networks
• Performance Optimized: Efficiently handles large résumés with many entries
• Summary Generation: Generate summaries of resume content

#Basic Example using PHP Résumé

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require juststeveking/resume-php

And then to build a basic résumé:

use JustSteveKing\Resume\Builders\ResumeBuilder;
use JustSteveKing\Resume\DataObjects\Basics;
use JustSteveKing\Resume\DataObjects\Location;
use JustSteveKing\Resume\DataObjects\Profile;
use JustSteveKing\Resume\DataObjects\Work;
use JustSteveKing\Resume\Enums\Network;
 
// Create the basics section
$basics = new Basics(
    name: 'Luke Skywalker',
    label: 'Jedi Knight',
    email: 'luke.skywalker@rebellion.org',
    url: 'https://jediarchives.org/luke-skywalker',
    summary: 'Farm boy turned Jedi Knight who played a pivotal role in the defeat of the Galactic Empire. Experienced pilot, Force-sensitive individual, and leader in the Rebel Alliance. Committed to restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.',
    location: new Location(
        address: 'Lars Homestead',
        postalCode: 'N/A',
        city: 'Anchorhead',
        countryCode: 'N/A',
        region: 'Tatooine',
    ),
    profiles: [
        new Profile(Network::GitHub, 'luke_skywalker', 'https://github.com/luke_skywalker'),
        new Profile(Network::LinkedIn, 'luke_skywalker', 'https://linkedin.com/in/luke_skywalker'),
    ],
);
 
// Build the résumé
$resume = (new ResumeBuilder())
    ->basics($basics)
    ->addWork(new Work(
        name: 'Rebel Alliance',
        position: 'Commander',
        startDate: '0000-05-25',
        endDate: '0004-05-04',
        summary: 'Key military leader in the fight against the Galactic Empire, specializing in starfighter operations and special missions.',
        highlights: ['Destroyed the first Death Star', 'Led Rogue Squadron', 'Helped defeat Emperor Palpatine'],
    ))
    ->build();
 
// Convert to JSON
$json = json_encode($resume, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

This package also provides a method to transform your résumé data into JSON-LD format using the toJsonLd() method, which is ideal for structuring data that is easily understood by search engines and web services. You can also export to Markdown using toMarkdown().

$resume->toJsonLd();
$resume->toMarkdown();

There is also a JobDescriptionBuilder for creating structured job descriptions following the JSON Job Description schema.
