set_cache_settings: Set options for the 'rsurvstat' cache

In rsurvstat: Download Infectious Disease Data from 'SurvStat' (Robert Koch Institute)

Set options for the rsurvstat cache

Description

By default successful requests to SurvStat are cached for 7 days to prevent repeated querying of the service. This is stored in the usual R package cache location by default (e.g. "~/.cache/rsurvstat" on mac / linux). Caching can be switched off altogether.

Usage

set_cache_settings(..., active = NULL, dir = NULL, stale = NULL)

Arguments

...	you can also submit the settings as a named list.
active	boolean (optional), set to FALSE to disable caching
dir	file path (optional), the location of the cache
stale	numeric (optional), the number of days before a cached item is considered out of date

Value

the old cache settings as a list

Examples

old_settings = set_cache_settings(active = FALSE)
set_cache_settings(old_settings)
