SeekJob

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 1.7.4 and then powered by Express and Mongo, and obviously Node.js. it's a MEAN project.

The main idea behind this project is to create a simple job platform to post a job and list jobs, though upload candidates resume (from Linkedin PDF) is a good feature that you can experiment here.

Other technologies used here: Bootstrap 4, CORS requests, textract PDF Reader and special thanks to Resume parser

Development server

Client Side

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Server Side

Run node server.js for a server to provide CORS rest api on http://localhost:3000/ if you wish to automatically reload once you made a change on any file run nodemon server.js. For this you need to install nodemon first npm install -g nodemon

Sample PDF file

Navigate to ./uploads to see a sample PDF file here.

Library Requirements and Instruction

• First, go to nodejs site, download and setup it for you platform
• Then, clone this repo git clone https://github.com/aminkh17/seek-job.git [Your New Folder Name]
• Run npm install in terminal from root folder of the new project to setup dependencies
• Install mongodb and prepare a database to connect to the app. (recommended name: dbseekjob). If you like you can change the connection string here
• At this moment application will work fine, but! By default it supports only .TXT and .HTML text formats. For better performance you should install at least support of .PDF (and .DOC). Here is instructions, how to do it from textract README file:
  • PDF extraction requires pdftotext be installed, link. Or you can add following folder to your PATH folder on Windows CMD> PATH %PATH%;[Full PATH OF THE BIN FOLDER]
  • DOC extraction requires catdoc be installed, link, unless on OSX in which case textutil (installed by default) is used.
  • DOCX extraction requires unzip be available (e.g. sudo apt-get install unzip for Ubuntu)

Please, note, that it's not necessary install support of all formats but preferably. As for me, I didn't get setup catdoc for .DOC files under Windows 7, so I played only with .TXT, .HTML, .PDF formats, but I know, it will also work with the rest formats :)

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
