(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
• wkhtmltopdf
• optional: Docker

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/nico-i/profile-card-gen

2. Navigate to the project directory

cd profile-card-gen

3. Install all dependencies

go get .

4. Run the service

go run .

5. Try it out under localhost:3000

Docker

To run this service inside a docker container, navigate to the project directory and run the following commands.

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 directory.
