taxon	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The taxon table.
dataset_summary	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The dataset_summary table.
observation_ancillary	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The observation_ancillary table.
location_ancillary	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The location_ancillary table.
taxon_ancillary	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The taxon_ancillary table.
variable_mapping	(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The variable_mapping table.

Value

ecocomDP tables as sep delimited files

Examples

# Create directory for the tables
mypath <- paste0(tempdir(), "/data")
dir.create(mypath)

# Create a couple inputs to write_tables()

flat <- ants_L0_flat

observation <- create_observation(
  L0_flat = flat, 
  observation_id = "observation_id", 
  event_id = "event_id", 
  package_id = "package_id",
  location_id = "location_id", 
  datetime = "datetime", 
  taxon_id = "taxon_id", 
  variable_name = "variable_name",
  value = "value",
  unit = "unit")

observation_ancillary <- create_observation_ancillary(
  L0_flat = flat,
  observation_id = "observation_id", 
  variable_name = c("trap.type", "trap.num", "moose.cage"))

# Write tables to file

write_tables(
  path = mypath, 
  observation = observation, 
  observation_ancillary = observation_ancillary)

dir(mypath)

# Clean up
unlink(mypath, recursive = TRUE)
