1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/antonyrobin/resume_builder.git

⚙️ Functionalities

• Template Switching: Dynamically swap templates without losing any entered data. The preview updates instantly.
• Image Upload: Upload a profile picture which gets seamlessly embedded into the selected template.
• Rich Text Entry: The summary field uses Summernote, allowing bolding, italicizing, and formatting text easily.
• Dynamic Array Fields: Experience, Education, Projects, Courses, and Certifications sections are fully dynamic. You can add as many items as needed.
• Persistent Data (Export/Import): The application allows exporting the full state (including images as base64) into a .json file, and later importing it to resume work.
• PDF Generation: Captures the DOM of the preview container and exports it as a perfectly scaled standard A4 size PDF.
