LinkedIn based CV site

The idea behind this project came after updating my LinkedIn profile. I also needed to update my CV at the same time and realized that it was all the same information anyway and why not just share the data. I looked into the LinkedIn APIs and realized that it should be possible.

Technology

• Gulp > javascript based build tool
• Babel > es6/7 and jsx transpiling and polyfills
• React > javascript view components/templates
• Koa > web framework for node js

Initially this site is completely rendered server side. This allows the site to work without javascript enabled and speeds up initial page loads.

Usage

Create a config.js file in the node working directory.

Note: Make sure this config is not published anywhere public like github It contains data that should be kept private

module.exports = {
  "app_name": "My name",
  "app_port": 8080,
  "app_secret": "unique private string",
  "linkedIn": {
    "username": "linkedIn username",
    "password": "linkedIn password",
    "clientId": "linkedIn api client id",
    "clientSecret": "linkeIn api client secret",
    "redirectUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/linkedin/redirect"
  },
  "mongodb": {
    "connectionString": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/linkedin-cv"
  }
};

Start the server

require('linkedIn-cv').init();
