Source plugin for pulling Meetup.com data about a specific Group and the events associated to it.
npm install --save gatsby-source-meetup
First, you need a way to pass environment variables to the build process, so secrets and other secured data aren't committed to source control. We recommend using dotenv which will then expose environment variables. Read more about dotenv and using environment variables here. Then we can use these environment variables and configure our plugin.
// In your gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: `gatsby-source-meetup`,
options: {
// Learn about environment variables: https://gatsby.app/env-vars
// Your Meetup.com API key can be retrieved here: https://secure.meetup.com/fr-FR/meetup_api/key/
apiKey: process.env.MEETUP_API_KEY,
// Mandatory: the URL name of a Meetup Group.
// See the URL of the group page, e.g. https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/jamstack-paris
groupUrlName: "jamstack-paris",
// Optional parameters for retrieving Events, see full documentation at
// https://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/:urlname/events/?uri=%2Fmeetup_api%2Fdocs%2F%3Aurlname%2Fevents%2F#list
status: "upcoming,past",
desc: "true",
page: 10
},
},
],
}To get data from multiple Groups, you can define the plugin multiple times:
// In your gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: `gatsby-source-meetup`,
options: {
apiKey: process.env.MEETUP_API_KEY,
groupUrlName: "jamstack-paris",
status: "past",
desc: "true",
page: 10
},
},
{
resolve: `gatsby-source-meetup`,
options: {
apiKey: process.env.MEETUP_API_KEY,
groupUrlName: "paris-js",
status: "upcoming,past",
desc: "true",
page: 10
},
},
],
}To get data from the same Group with multiple options (sorting, number of events…) depending on their status, you can use the optional parameter eventsOptions:
// In your gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: `gatsby-source-meetup`,
options: {
apiKey: process.env.MEETUP_API_KEY,
groupUrlName: "jamstack-paris",
status: "past",
desc: "true",
page: 10,
eventsOptions: [
{
status: `upcoming`,
desc: `true`,
page: 1,
},
{
status: `past`,
desc: `true`,
page: 5,
}
],
},
},
],
}With eventsOptions used above, you get the first next event from today and the last 5 events.
You can query the Group node and associated Event nodes created from Meetup like the following:
