Addressed comments after initial CRAN submission (reduce file size and update links to packages/function in the documentation).
Published manuscript describing package in the Journal of Open Source Software
Package was peer reviewed.
Changes the name of the function get_station_metadata()
to get_stations_metadata()
to avoid clashes with {stationaRy}.
Adds new functionality, find_stations_in()
to assist in finding stations in a bounding box or geospatial polygon.
Allows user to pass along a factor as the station_code
when requesting weather data.
This allows for the use of the metadata returned from get_stations_metadata()
to be used directly in queries without changing the class of the station_code
column from factor to character.
Added functionality to get_station_metadata() so that it returns the metadata for only one station if required, commit.
Several enhanced checks for user inputs to ensure that valid requests are made before sending the API queries are now in place.
find_nearby_stations()
Fixes bug where find_forecast_towns()
returned all values, not the proper values.
Fixes bug where BOM and SILO metadata were not properly merged when using find_nearby_stations()
Fixes bug where closed stations are included in the nearest stations when using find_nearby_stations()
and include_closed = FALSE
(default).
Fixes the messages when stations aren't found nearby. In certain cases the message indicated that a station_code
was used when latitude
and longitude
had been provided and vice versa.
Fixes bug when there are no stations that meet the criteria set by the user and an error was emitted that "x" must be a {data.table} object. The function now simply errors if there are no stations from either API that meet the criteria.
get_dpird_extremes()
Fixes example in get_dpird_extremes()
that didn't use "your_api_key" as all other examples did for error checking.
Fixes example for get_dpird_extremes()
that didn't follow the package's standard use of "your_api_key" for the api_key
value in the example.
Fixes the re-export of terra::plot()
where checks indicated that it does not have a documented return value or examples.
Fixes a bug where the package data was not available when this package was called by another, e.g., {extractOz} used get_patched_point()
but could not validate the user-input values
because silo_daily_values
could not be found.
Fixes bug where results from get_dpird_summaries()
were truncated to only a few of the last results requested rather than the full set from start date to end date.
Fixes bug where the DPIRD API would not properly respond to requests from Windows OS machines.
Fixes bug where SILO Data Drill gridded data were not available with enough precision.
Fixes bug where include_closed
wasn't passed along to the API when querying DPIRD station weather data.
All queries now included closed stations by default so that a request for a closed station is not denied due to this not being specified, commit.
