municipality_search: Search a Kolada municipality metadata table

In rKolada: Access Data from the 'Kolada' Database

Search a Kolada municipality metadata table

Description

Search a Kolada municipality metadata table. Only keep rows that contain the search query. Note that some a quer might be both the name, or part of a name, of a municipality and part of the name of a region. Thus, a search might return rows for both municipalities and regions. To avoid this you can use dplyr::filter to filter the type column to keep only "K" (municipalities) or "L" (regions) rows. See also examples below for an alternative approach avoiding any direct calls to filter.

Usage

municipality_search(munic_df, query, column = NULL)

Arguments

munic_df	A Kolada Municipality metadata table, as created by e.g. get_municipality.
query	A search term or a vector of search terms to filter by. Case insensitive.
column	(Optional) A string or character vector with the names of columns in which to search for query.

Value

A Kolada Municipality metadata table

Examples

# Search for a single search term in a municipality table
munic_df <- get_municipality()
municipality_search(munic_df, "Arboga")

# Only keep columns with type == "K" (keep municipalities, drop regions)
munic_filter <- get_municipality(cache = TRUE) %>%
  municipality_search("K", column = "type")
