Example: custom section order with meta fields

await client.callTool('pdf-resume', { resume: { basics: { name: 'Jane Doe', email: 'jane@example.com' }, work: [{ / ... / }], meta: { valueProp: 'Full-stack engineer with 10+ years experience...' } }, sections: { sections: [ { source: 'basics', render: 'header' }, { source: 'meta.valueProp', title: 'Value Proposition' }, { source: 'work', title: 'Experience' } ] } });

- degree-{{ studyType }}{% if area %}, {{ area }}{% endif %}
- credential-{{ title | default: name }}{% if awarder %}, {{ awarder }}{% endif %}
- language-{{ language }}{% if fluency %} ({{ fluency }}){% endif %}
- skill-{{ name }}: {{ keywords | join: ', ' }}

- YYYY,YY,MMMM,MMM,MM,M,DD,D

- date- Format a date string
- default- Fallback for empty values
- tenure- Calculate duration
- join- Join array elements

await client.callTool('pdf-resume', { filename: 'cv-francais.pdf', resume: { / JSON Resume data / }, sections: { fieldTemplates: { dateRange: "{{ start | date: 'MM/YYYY' }} - {{ end | date: 'MM/YYYY' | default: 'Present' }}", location: '{{ city }}' } } });

await client.callTool('pdf-resume', { filename: 'resume.pdf', resume: { / JSON Resume data / }, sections: { fieldTemplates: { dateRange: "{{ start | date: 'MMMM YYYY' }} to {{ end | date: 'MMMM YYYY' | default: 'Present' }}" } } });
