Covlet
currently a test for a gofiber and svelte server. Maybe later on it will incorporate other code to create a letter generating site.
covlet
Cover letter templates with a Go backend (Fiber API) and a terminal UI (Bubble Tea). There is no web frontend; run the TUI on your machine.
Layout
backend/— HTTP API (./backend/cmd/covlet): template CRUD, render, PDF export via gopdf with embedded DejaVu Sans fonts (optional custom TTFs via env).frontend/— TUI client (./frontend/cmd/covlet-tui).
Environment
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
COVLET_HOME |
Application data directory (default: ~/.local/share/covlet). Templates live under <home>/templates. |
COVLET_LISTEN / COVLET_PORT |
HTTP listen address (default :8080). |
COVLET_PDF_FONT |
Optional path to a TTF for PDF body text (replaces embedded regular font). |
COVLET_PDF_FONT_BOLD |
Optional path to a TTF for PDF titles. If unset while COVLET_PDF_FONT is set, the same file is used for both. |
COVLET_API |
Default API URL for the TUI (default http://127.0.0.1:8080). |
COVLET_RESUME |
Default resume YAML path for the TUI (-resume overrides). |
Run locally
- Backend:
go run ./backend/cmd/covlet - TUI:
go run ./frontend/cmd/covlet-tui(optional-api,-resume)
POST /api/v1/export/pdf returns application/pdf bytes (Ctrl+P in the TUI; save directory defaults to ~/Downloads).
Docker
docker compose up builds and runs the API image only. Run the TUI from the repo with Go.
