rendercv.data.models.curriculum_vitae

The rendercv.data.models.curriculum_vitae module contains the data model of the cv field of the input file.

validate_a_section(sections_input, entry_types)

Validate a list of entries (a section) based on the entry types.

Sections input is a list of entries. Since there are multiple entry types, it is not possible to validate it directly. Firstly, the entry type is determined with the get_entry_type_name_and_section_validator function. If the entry type cannot be determined, an error is raised. If the entry type is determined, the rest of the list is validated with the section validator.

Parameters:

  • sections_input (list[Any]) –

    The sections input to validate.

  • entry_types (list[Type]) –

    The entry types to determine the entry type. These are not instances of the entry types, but the entry types themselves. str type should not be included in this list.

Returns:
