When do I use this plugin?

This plugin was created for managing a community group website. The next three events were fetched and displayed on the site so members were kept up to date with upcoming events. They could then navigate to the Meetup event and RSVP.

How to query for data

You can query the next three events by doing the following

query EventsQuery {
  allEvent(limit: 3) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        link
        date: local_date(formatString: "dddd, MMMM D")
        month: local_date(formatString: "MMMM")
      }
    }
  }
}
