Defines functions get_boundary set_boundary

Documented in get_boundary set_boundary

#' Store and retrieve boundary geometries
#'
#' Boundary information is stored as serialized 'BLOB' objects in the 'boundary'
#' table.
#'
#' NOTE: This function requires the `sf` package to be installed.
#'
#' This function takes a named list of sf objects and stores them in the
#' database. If a location boundary (default "county") is provided, then the
#' non-geometry fields will be added to the 'location' table and replaced with a
#' 'location_id' value so they can be linked to data in the 'sample' table.
#'
#' @param GT GeoTox object.
#' @param df_list Named list of data frames containing boundary geometries as sf
#'   objects.
#' @param location Name of element in `df_list` that contains location boundary
#'   information (default "county").
#' @param overwrite Logical indicating whether to overwrite existing 'boundary'
#'   table.
#'
#' @returns For `set_boundary()`, the same GeoTox object, invisibly. For
#'   `get_boundary()`, a data frame with columns 'id' (boundary name) and 'data'
#'   (sf object).
