set_config: Initialize the Configuration File

In geeLite: Building and Managing Local Databases from 'Google Earth Engine'

Initialize the Configuration File

Description

Creates a configuration file in the specified directory of the generated database (config/config.json). If the specified directory does not exist but its parent directory does, it will be created.

Usage

set_config(
  path,
  regions,
  source,
  start = "2020-01-01",
  resol,
  scale = NULL,
  limit = 10000,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

path	[mandatory] (character) The path to the root directory of the generated database. This must be a writable, non-temporary directory. Avoid using the home directory (~), the current working directory, or the package directory.
regions	[mandatory] (character) ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes or ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes.
source	[mandatory] (list) Description of Google Earth Engine (GEE) datasets of interest (the complete data catalog of GEE is accessible at: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog). It is a nested list with three levels: names (list) Datasets of interest (e.g., "MODIS/061/MOD13A1"). bands (list) Bands of interest (e.g., "NDVI"). zonal_stats (character) Statistics of interest (options: "mean", "median", "min", "max", "sd").
start	[optional] (date) First date of the data collection (default: "2020-01-01").
resol	[mandatory] (integer) Resolution of the H3 bin.
scale	[optional] (integer) Specifies the nominal resolution (in meters) for image processing. If left as NULL (the default), a resolution of 1000 is used.
limit	[optional] (integer) In "local" mode, 'limit / dates' sets batch size; in "drive" mode, 'limit' is the max features per export (default: 10000).
verbose	[optional] (logical) Display messages (default: TRUE).

Value

No return value, called for side effects.
