[roslynwythe]

Dependency

• Refactor JavaScript so that Events page sources meeting data from vrms_data.json #6023
• Removing instances of "test" as a substring in the events page #6369

Overview

As developers we need to refactor the JavaScript behind the Project Meetings page, so that it retrieves meeting data from the file data/external/vrms_data.json, in order to reduce the latency and improve the reliability of the webpage.

Action Items

• For reference, view the code in assets/js/right-col-content.js and understand how the event data is retrieved from assets/js/utility/vrms-events.js
• Refactor the code in assets/js/project-meetings.js to source data from data/external/vrms_data.json, using function(s) in assets/js/utility/vrms-events.js and perform testing to confirm that functionality on the Project Meetings webpage ¹ is unchanged.
• Note that events from all projects should be displayed, except for events with the project name "test" or "Hack4LA".
• Open the file assets/js/right-col-content.js and refactor the code to reference the function(s) in assets/js/utility/vrms-events.js and perform testing to confirm that functionality on the Project pages[^2] is unchanged.
