Technology

This app also serves as a great example of using Shiny Mediator At the time of this publishing, we used v4's new persistent cache that is updated in the background via a Shiny Background Job

The HTTP API to themeparks wiki is generated using Shiny Mediators OpenAPI source generator. Look in the csproj for the following

<ItemGroup>
    <MediatorHttp Include="OpenApiRemote"
                  Uri="https://api.themeparks.wiki/docs/v1.yaml"
                  Namespace="ShinyWonderland.ThemeParksApi"
                  ContractPostfix="HttpRequest"
                  Visible="false" />
</ItemGroup>
