v0.3.4

idaifieldR 0.3.4 2023-12-17

• Make get_field_index() more efficient by utilizing vectors instead of lapply().
• Adding liesWithinLayer in get_field_index() and simplify_idaifield() is now an option. This way, in get_field_index() the "shortDescription" can be added without the more time intensive recursive layer search that comes with the now available option find_layers = TRUE. For info on what this does, see documentation of find_layer().
• simplify_idaifield() is now slightly faster as it uses find_layer() differently.
• find_layer() can now handle a vector of multiple ids.
• The project/projectname-argument will be removed soon, and project needs to be specified in connect_idaifield(). Relevant functions currently issue a warning to that effect.

Full Changelog: v0.3.2...v0.3.4

v0.3.3

idaifieldR 0.3.3 2023-11-25

New features

• Add idf_last_changed(connection, n = n): Returns a vector with the last n changed resources in the database.
• Add idf_get_changes(connection, ids = c(...)): Returns a data.frame in which each change to one of the resources listed in ids (can be either their 'identifier' or 'UUID') corresponds to one row separated by creation or modification.
• remove_config_names() issues a message about duplicate field or category names if it is appropriate. Functions may override data when multiple columns with the same name would otherwise exist, as e.g. 'diameter' and 'projectName:diameter'. Attaches an attribute that lists the duplicate field/category names.

Minor changes

• Notify of new / different version on GitHub on attaching the package (check_idaifieldr_version()).

Fixes

• Fix problem in reformat_geometry() (MultiPolygons have to be unnested before processing). (Imported Polygons may be formatted improperly, unnest if necessary (reformat_geometry()). Geometry is still a work in progress.)
• Fix a bug in get_field_index(), where it would return an empty data.frame if there was no configuration-resource.

v0.3.1

idaifieldR 0.3.1 2023-04-02

• of course, I missed half of it.
• fix idf_query()/idf_index_query(): rename "type" to "category" in resource lists

• fix missed type/category issue convert_to_onehot()
• "solve" minor problem with spreading checkbox fields (#TODO)

Full Changelog: v0.2.4...v0.3.1

idaifieldR 0.3.0

idaifieldR 0.3.0 2023-04-02

• remove sofa as dependency and add custom interface with reduced functionality
• restructure unnesting (unnest_docs() & find_resource())
• add get_field_index() - getting the uidlist/index directly from the database
• exchange type with category everywhere (Attention: This may very well break previous scripts)
• speed up find_layer() significantly
• check if project exists before attempting to query the database

Breaking changes:

• "type" does not refer to the type of resource (Find, Layer, Place etc.) any more and is renamed to category, as this is the current structure of the database. The uidlist-column "type" is renamed to "category" along with any reference to this information anywhere else (I hope ;) ).

What's Changed

• Add CouchDB to test-coverage workflow to test (almost) everything by @lsteinmann in #6

Full Changelog: v0.2.4...v0.3.0

idaifieldR 0.2.4

idaifieldR 0.2.4 2023-03-31

new:

• handle / reformat dating fields by getting min and max date

fixes:

• get type OR category if type is empty in for get_uid_list()
• multiple queries for idf_query() with type & category
• in simplify_idaifield(), category is currently switched to type,
  but this will be changed later -> #TODO: rename type everywhere to
  category to reflect actual db structure

What's Changed

• handle dating fields and fix type/category issue by @lsteinmann in #4

Full Changelog: v0.2.3...v0.2.4

idaifieldR 0.2.3

idaifieldR 0.2.3 2023-03-16

• add language management for multi-language input fields when project has more than one project language
• add language list lookup preparation (get_language_lookup()) for custom config fields
• add download_language_list() to get current translations from GitHub
• add ping-checks for all database-related functions to supply custom error messages
• get_idaifield_docs() will now remove the Configuration as a doc and attach it as attribute to all custom classes, thus simplify_idaifield() will use the config-attribute directly and works without a connection.
• simplify_idaifield() now allows to keep checkbox-fields etc. as-is
• change idf_query() and idf_index_query() to return docs instead of simplified list to allow choice
• all idaifield_...-lists are now named (with the identifier of each resource)
• new demodata for future use (data("idaifieldr_demodata"))
• rewritten vignettes and generally updated documentation
• Notice: The changes may have created problems for iDAI.field 2, and I did not test using the package with iDAI.field 2, as I assume it is not used anymore. get_idaifield_docs() should still work.

Full Changelog: v0.2.2...v0.2.3

idaifieldR 0.2.2

idaifieldR 0.2.2 2023-02-18

• config specific names now removed everywhere
• fixed problem with if-condition when config exists
• fixed problem with the calculation of means for ranged measurements
• comments in the code in some places
• speed up find_layer(), replace_uid() and check_if_uid()
• more tests

idaifieldR 0.2.1

idaifieldR 0.2.1 2022-10-23

• Fixed find_layer() (internal), seems to work as intended now.
• With the editor for the project configuration in iDAI.field 3, new fields and objects started to be named according to their configurations, e.g. "milet:temperType" etc., if the fields have been newly created. From now on those config specific names are removed from all fields, so that only the part after the double dot remains (e.g. "milet:temperType" becomes "temperType").
• check_if_uid() now handles vectors
• Speed up get_uid_list(), replace_uid(), convert_to_onehot(), and fix_relations() (a lot)
• split up import with get_idaifield_docs() and processing to be more usable with simplify_idaifield(), with advice to use the latter only on subsets so the time is more manageable.
• add check_and_unnest() to export

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1

idaifieldR 0.2.0

idaifieldR 0.2.0 2022-05-15

The changes are a bit dramatic, and scripts using the older versions will probably not work anymore without intereference.

• Faster get_uid_list() using lapply()
• Added idf_query() to specifically query the db for field values without first downloading everything
• Added idf_index_query() to specifically query the database for things that are only available via the uidlist (the function needs a uidlist to do that)
• simplified = TRUE (simplify_idaifield()) will now convert checkbox fields to multiple columns. This should probably be an option in the future, not the default, but the function itself needs cleaning up first.
• it is now possible to import the configuration file, and it is needed for some functions; however, this will only work with idaifield3; connection and projectname are now attributes of the "idaifield_docs" and "idaifield_resources" objects.
• idaifield_as_matrix() now returns a matrix with character values, not lists
• dimension lists will be imported as a single value - this is still a work in progress, actually, but it has to suffice for the moment.
• There are now two vignettes: Demo.Rmd with essential workflow, about.Rmd explaining the package functions a bit more.
