(AOE) Profile Card Generator
A simple Go HTTP Server for handling multipart-form POST
requests and generating a profile card PDF from the provided data.
_Please be advised: This project was merely meant to be an exercise for myself during my introduction to Go and Docker. It is therefore by no means considered a finished project._
## Prerequisites
Make sure you have the following installed on your machine:
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install)
- [wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html)
- optional: [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
## Installation
1. Clone the repository
```shell
git clone https://github.com/nico-i/profile-card-gen
```
2. Navigate to the project directory
```shell
cd profile-card-gen
```
3. Install all dependencies
```shell
go get .
```
4. Run the service
```shell
go run .
```
5. Try it out under [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
## Docker
To run this service inside a docker container,
navigate to the project directory and run the following commands.
```shell
docker build --tag docker-profile-card-gen .
docker run -p 3000:3000 docker-profile-card-gen
```
## Notes
Currently, the design of the form and card is based on the branding
of AOE, but this can be fitted to your individual needs by editing
the CSS & HTML files inside the [public](./public) directory.
