Récivi

Building a portfolio

This guide is for people who have a résumé data file that may be hosted online and want to build a portfolio website using the same data file.

Pre-requisites

Section titled “Pre-requisites”
  • Récivi data file

Steps

Section titled “Steps”

  1. Write a Récivi data file for yourself.

  2. Host the Récivi file online somewhere. For example, GitHub Gist is one such suitable place. You can also choose to not host it separately and rather keep it inside the portfolio project itself.

  3. Create a new Astro project with the template.

    Terminal window
    pnpm create astro@latest -- --template recivi/recivi/examples/pf

    You can also use npm if you prefer that.

    Terminal window
    npm create astro@latest -- --template recivi/recivi/examples/pf

  4. Edit the astro.config.ts file and populate the only required option reciviDataFile. It should point to the URL of your Récivi data file. It can also point to a local file using absolute path or path relative to the astro.config.ts file.

  5. Further customise the site with Récivi PF's options or eject and take over the codebase to make it your own.
