Recovery Meeting Finder
Recovery Meeting Finder is a 12-step program meeting finder application I developed as a research project for a masters degree in Software Engineering. The aim of the project was to build a website and mobile phone application which allows people to search for recovery meetings using their location.
I first imported the meeting details from CSV format into a SQL Server database and normalized the data set. The meeting locations were stored in the database using geospatial data types ready to display on a map. With the data I built a REST Web API which was used to share the data between the different components in the system.
After this I created a website front-end with a homepage where the user can select meetings types, input a location and select the days of the week to search for meetings. The search results are then displayed on an interactive Open Street Map using the Leaflet library to place markers with spatial clustering.
The website was created as an ASP.NET project using the Angular framework and TypeScript language. This allowed me to separate different parts of the website into reusable components and take advantage of features such as resolvers to preload API data before navigating to a route. I also made use of Bootstrap for a responsive mobile-friendly layout and Material Design components for the input fields to give the website a modern look and feel.
