Examples

tmp <- file.path(tempdir(), "testexample")
dest_files <- esp_siane_bulk_download(cache_dir = tmp)

# Read one
library(sf)
read_sf(dest_files[1]) |> head()

# Now we can connect the function with the downloaded data like:

connect <- esp_get_munic_siane(cache_dir = tmp, verbose = TRUE)

# Message shows that file is already cached ;)

# Clean
unlink(tmp, force = TRUE, recursive = TRUE)
