AL-ANON Online Meeting Finder

Built with TypeScript, I had to integrate this GitHub repo into AL-ANON's WordPress website with over 30 plugins at the time of implementation. My work replaced almost 10 plugins that were attempting to achieve what I accomplished with one GitHub repo.

Key Features

TypeScript-based Online Meeting Finder

Integrated a custom GitHub-based TypeScript app into the existing WordPress frontend, with dynamic filtering/search against meeting JSON data pulled from the CMS.

Plugin Reduction & Optimization

Replaced the functionality of 10 overlapping plugins by migrating to a single custom front-end component, improving performance and reducing maintenance overhead.

WordPress REST API Integration

Leveraged WP REST API endpoints to pull meeting data into the TypeScript application while maintaining full compatibility with 30+ existing plugins.

Custom Standalone Page Embed

Anchored the meeting finder on its own standalone page using HTML/shortcode and ensured full Elementor Pro compatibility.

Role-Based Access

Implemented scoped access so regional admins can maintain meeting content without affecting other parts of the platform.

Extensibility & Maintainability

Structured the integration to allow future enhancements (new regions, languages, formats) without core code changes.
