bcdata 0.3.2

bcdata 0.3.1

Added bcdc_get_citation to generate bibliographic entries (via utils::bibentry) for individuals records. #273
Results from bcdc_search() (objects of class "bcdc_recordlist") now print 50 records by default, instead of 10. In addition, there is a new [ method for "bcdc_recordlist" objects, allowing you to subset these lists and still have a nice printout (#288).
Ensure that bcdc_get_data() fails informatively when a given resource doesn’t exist in a record (#290)
Ensure compatibility with upcoming dbplyr 2.2.0 (#297, 82b9defa376ab)

The BC Data Catalogue and its API have been updated, requiring changes to the bcdata package, most of which are internal only (#283). These should be mostly invisible to the user, except for the removal of the type search facet in bcdc_search() and bcdc_search_facets(). If you use an API key (authorized catalogue editors only), you will need to login to the new catalogue and get your updated key and set the value your BCDC_KEY environment variable to the new key.

Add names method for bcdc.promise objects. You can now call names on an object produced by bcdc_query_geodata. This is handy when trying to figure out exact column spelling etc. #278

Fix bug where sticky column were incorrectly identified in bcdc_describe_feature (#279)

Code in .onLoad() that sent a request to the wfs getCapabilities endpoint could cause the package to fail to load. This was moved into an internal function bcdc_get_capabilities() that makes the request the first time it’s required, and stores the result for the remainder of the session (#271)
testthat is now used conditionally to only run tests if the testthat package is installed.

Setting the bcdata.single_download_limit limit dynamically from the getCapabilities endpoint. #256
bcdc_describe_feature now joins an object description column to the returned object to provide more information about a field directly in R. #241, #259
Better documentation and information surrounding the bcdata.max_geom_pred_size option. #243, #258
Add new function bcdc_check_geom_size so users can check prior to submitting a WFS request with filter to see if the request will require a bounding box conversion. #243, #258
Better documentation and messaging about when and why paginated requests are required by bcdc_query_geodata(). #240, #264
Better documentation and print method for what records are suitable for use with bcdc_query_geodata(). #265, #267

Added bcdc_list_groups and bcdc_list_group_records to provide the ability to query on the group endpoint of the catalogue API. #234
Added new option bcdata.single_download_limit to enable setting the maximum number of records an object can be before forcing a paginated download (#252)

Fixed bug in collect.bcdc_promise where the wrong parameter name in crul::Paginator$new() resulted in an error in paginated wfs requests (#250, thanks @meztez)
Fixed a bug where the name of bcdata.chunk_limit option had a typo, so that it was not actually used properly (#252)

Remove link for pipe documentation for simplicity.
Fixed bug where using many as. functions (e.g., as.Date(), as.character(), as.numeric()) in a filter statement would fail. (#218, #219)

Updated internal SQL translation to use DBI S4 generics (DBI::dbQuoteIdentifier() is now used instead of dbplyr::sql_escape_ident() and DBI::dbQuoteString() instead of dbplyr::sql_escape_string()), to comply with upcoming dbplyr 2.0 release (#225, #225; https://github.com/tidyverse/dbplyr/issues/385)
Wrapped all examples that call web resources in try() to avoid spurious check failures (#229).

Rename selectable column from bcdc_describe_feature to sticky and modify corresponding docs and tests (#180).

Add explore-silviculture-data-using-bcdata vignette/article. h/t @hgriesbauer
Add head and tail methods for bcdc.promise objects. Thanks to @hgriesbauer for the suggestion! (#182, #186)
Provide as_tibble as an alias for collect in line with dbplyr behaviour (#166)
Geometry predicates can now take a bbox object as well as an sf* object (#176)
When reading in excel files, bcdc_get_data now outputs a messages indicating the presence and names of any sheets (#190)
bcdc_get_data() & bcdc_query_geodata() will now work with full B.C. data catalogue url including resource (#125, #196)
bcdc_sf objects now have an time_downloaded attribute
Authorized B.C. Data Catalogue editors can now authenticate with the catalogue by setting a BCDC_KEY environment variable with their catalogue API token (https://github.com/bcgov/bcdata#bcdc-authentication; #208).

Fix select, filter and mutate roxygen so that bcdata specific documentation to these methods is available
Add tests for attributes

Add bcdc_tidy_resources for retrieving a data frame containing the metadata for all resources from a single B.C. Data Catalogue record (PR#149, #147)
Add a more decorative record print method (#73)
More reliable detection of layer name for a wfs call in bcdc_query_geodata() (#129, #138, #139)
Add mutate method for bcdc_promise that only fails and suggest an alternative approach. (PR#134)
Add back in querying vignette
Using tidyselect so that select.bcdc_promise behaviour is typical of dplyr::select ($140, #138)
Using GitHub actions for CI.

Remove BEYOND() and RELATE() geometry predicates as they are currently not fully supported by geoserver

Now precompiling vignettes so that queries are submitted locally and no actually requests are made from CRAN (#151)
Fix NOTE: Namespace in Imports field not imported from: ‘methods’ error on CRAN (#145)
Fixed a bug where functions nested inside geometry predicates were not evaluated (#146, #154)
Fixed a bug where DWITHIN wasn’t working because units needed to be unquoted (#154)
Fixed a bug where BBOX() used in a filter() statement combined with bcdc_query_geodata() did not work (#135, #137, #131)
Fixed a bug where layer names with a number in them would not work in bcdc_query_geodata() (#126, #127)

Expand and standardize checking w[ms]f features to make package more resistant to slight warehouse API changes.
Data retrieval functions now work with BCGW name (#106)
Add CITATION file (#104)
Increased test coverage (#112)
Skipping all tests on CRAN that require a web connection
Better and more informative error message when experiencing http failures occur (#121)
Added print methods for show_query
Change examples to donttest
Added verbose argument to bcdc_get_record to enable suppressing console writing
