A simple lottery application for Meetup.com.
Meetup.com is a popular website to organize local community events. Sometimes it would be fun if there is a lucky draw for attendees at the end of the meetup. So I developed this tool to set a lucky draw.
I hope you have installed the Node.js and Angular CLI. For more information about Angular, please visit https://angular.io, or open this link.
First, get the attendees data from meetup.com. Use Chrome and open your event page. On this page, you can find a section called Attendees. Click the link Manage to open the attendees page. The url is like this: https://www.meetup.com/{your-organization-name}/events/{event-id}/attendees/. You can see all the attendees here.
Press F12 to enable developer tools and navigate to Network tab. Then press F5 to refresh the page. In the Network window, you can find requests about attendees data. Find the correct one. Usually, it should start with https://www.meetup.com/mu_api/urlname/events/eventId/attendees?queries=%28endpoint%3A{you-organization-name}.... Click Response tab, now you can get all attendees data. Copy the content and save it as a json file called attendees.json;
It would be better if I integrate the meetup login system and publish it as a website. But it is also very easy to use it on your laptop. Clone the project and navigate to the tiny-lottery folder. Copy the attendees.json file and paste it into the assets folder.
Run this command to install the packages:
npm installThen use the command below to run it:
ng run --openThat's it!
