4.0

Version 4

Major Changes

• Library rename (previously called WDWjs)
  • We've expanded way beyond just Walt Disney World Resort parks, so we need a name that reflects that
• Now uses needle for HTTP requests instead of request
  • Fewer dependencies, making library smaller and less constant dependency updating
• Written in modern JavaScript
  • Using ES6 standard, proper inheritance and constructors
  • Neater code base
  • Compiles down to es2015 for compatibility with older NodeJS runtimes
• API method changes
  • Methods can now (optionally) return Promises
• Data caching built-in from the start
  • Ride data and queue times are automatically cached, stopping excessive calls to APIs
  • Optionally supply various caching systems to maintain cached data between program starts
  • Using cache-manager library

TODO (to release 4.0)

• Finish migration from request to needle
• Support Resorts
  • Resorts will also have GetWaitTimes etc, and will return the times of all the parks within the resort
  • This will pave the way for hotels/restaurants data in the API
• Implement calendar/schedule framework for parks
• Re-implement non-Disney parks into the new framework

Future Features in 4.0 (post-release)

• Add hotel information to API
• Add restaurant information to API
