read_sf_zip: Read shapefile(s) inside a ZIP archive via GDAL /vsizip/
In misc: Miscellaneous Functions for Data and Geospatial Work
read_sf_zip R Documentation
Read shapefile(s) inside a ZIP archive via GDAL /vsizip/
Description
Uses zip::zip_list() to find .shp members, then reads each with
sf::read_sf() on a /vsizip/... path. Multiple shapefiles become one row
each (list-column data), so differing CRS are not merged.
Usage
read_sf_zip(path, quiet = TRUE, ...)
Arguments
path
Path to a .zip file.
quiet
Passed to sf::read_sf().
...
Additional arguments passed to sf::read_sf().
Value
A tibble with fpath (the /vsizip/... dsn), file_type, metadata
from sf::st_layers(), and data (list-column of sf). See read_gdb().
Examples
z <- system.file("extdata", "misc_example.zip", package = "misc")
if (nzchar(z) && file.exists(z)) read_sf_zip(z)
