read_sfn_metadata | R Documentation |
Read metadata from all sites in folder and write it to disk to cache the info for easy and fast access
read_sfn_metadata(folder = ".", .write_cache = FALSE)
folder |
Route to the folder containing the data. Default to working directory |
.write_cache |
Logical indicating if a cached copy of the metadata must
be written in |
Load all data in memory to collect metadata info can be resource limiting. For easy and quick access to metadata, this function stores an .RData file in the specified folder along the data with all the metadata preloaded. Also it return it as an object to use in filtering and selecting sites.
A list of tibbles with the five metadata classes (site, stand, species, plant and environmental)
# Let's access the data in "folder". This typically is the folder where the # sapflow data at the desired unit level is (i.e. "RData/plant"), but in this # example we will create a temporal folder with some data to test the function folder <- tempdir() save(ARG_TRE, file = file.path(folder, 'ARG_TRE.RData')) save(ARG_MAZ, file = file.path(folder, 'ARG_MAZ.RData')) # create and load the metadata. The first time we use .write_cache = TRUE, # to ensure creating a file containing the metadata for speed the process # for the next times read_sfn_metadata( folder = folder, .write_cache = TRUE ) # a cached copy must have been written to "folder" file.exists(paste0(folder, '.metadata_cache.RData')) # TRUE # after that, we only need to especify the folder sites_metadata <- read_sfn_metadata(folder = folder) # quicker than before sites_metadata
