NHS-R Conference 2023 Check In App

This is an app to be used by the event organising team to check users into the conference. It is split into two separate components:

  • the frontend is built in React (JavaScript)
  • the backend is a {plumber} API (R)

both of these are deployed to a Posit Connect server.

Each attendee to the conference is assigned a Version 4 UUID, and a QR code is generated and emailed to the attendees.

At the conference, the event team are able to use this app to scan the QR codes, or search manually by name/email, to check attendees into the conference

The app uses websockets, so the attendees list can be automatically updated on all of the users devices when someone checks an attendee in. This is not yet an officially supported feature of {plumber}, though there are workarounds in an issue which have been used here.
