In statnipokladna: Use Data from the Czech Public Finance Database

statnipokladna 0.7.2

statnipokladna 0.7.1

Minor improvements

• switched messaging to {cli} package, dropping the {usethis} dependency
• improve naming of output columns (additional column code translated into readable scheme)

Bug fixes

• fixed a bug in sp_load_table() which caused the vykaz_date column in its output to be all NA
• loading data on state funds now works, IDs and details are newly listed in sp_tables

statnipokladna 0.7.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• sp_get_dataset() no longer unzips the downloaded archive. It therefore returns the path to the downloaded zip file, not to the unzipped files. This is needed to support a more modular workflow (see below and vignette("workflow", package = "statnipokladna")).
• The year param in sp_get_table() and sp_get_dataset() now has no default. This is more sensible when there is no easy way to determine the latest available table/dataset and in any case better for reproducibility. The new sp_get_dataset_url() also has this updated behaviour.
• the columns signifying the time period of the result of sp_get_table() have been renamed for more clarity and consistency:
• period_vykaz to vykaz_date
• per_m to vykaz_month
• per_yr to vykaz_year
• sp_add_codelist() no longer creates messy column names in the form of [codelist name]_nazev_nazev

New features

• the core functions have been rewritten into a more modular architecture and their constituent modules exported. This allows more fine-grained control over workflows using lower-level functions to accommodate caching and reproducibility e.g. via {targets} or {drake}.
• sp_get_[dataset|table|codelist] are now effectively wrappers around several lower-level functions
• those previously using these core functions should see no change except for one breaking change in sp_get_dataset() (see above).
• the lower-level functions enable step-by-step workflows with transparency of intermediate steps (URLs, downloaded ZIP archives, pointers to specific CSV files, etc.) See vignette("workflow", package = "statnipokladna")

Improvements

• better error messages around mismatches between table ID and file in archive
• more informative errors when online files are not available
• improve date parsing in sp_get_codelist() to handle inconsistent date formats in some codelists
• faster loading of tables from previously downloaded and unzipped datasets
• empty strings in codelists are now returned as NA
• more columns are now properly named in the output so they can be linked to codelists, incl. columns related to programme spend and rifngfenced ('purpose'-marked) spend
• rozprog (programme spend ID) as well as nastroj and nastrojanal codelists are now recognised

Bug fixes

• when setting dest_dir in sp_get_*() functions, files are now put into the right directory even if dest_dir does not contain a trailing slash
• sp_get_dataset_doc() now creates dest_dir if it does not exist, as advertised in the documentation
• upgrade dplyr dependency to aviod mysterious "unused argument" error in codelist functions
• balance sheets of city districts can now be loaded for all years where they are available
• examples are now safe to run on CRAN

statnipokladna 0.6.0

Improvements

• directory for downloading raw data and documentation in all sp_get_*() functions can now be set in the option statnipokladna.dest_dir. Set this at the beginning of your script or once per session, or in your .Rprofile (e.g. setOption(statnipokladna.dest_dir = "~/sp_data") for cross-session storage or setOption(statnipokladna.dest_dir = "sp_data") for storing all data downloaded by statnipokladna in an sp_data subfolder of the current project.)
• downloaded data is no longer nested in a statnipokladna directory inside dest_dir.
• minor improvements and updates in vignettes.
• properly included the tibble package to ensure correct print methods for output tibbles
• sp_get_dataset() and sp_get_dataset_doc() now return their outputs invisibly and provide better messages

Bug fixes

• adapt sp_get_table() to a new structure of some data dumps on the part of the data provider
• sp_get_codelist() no longer issues a tibble-related warning
• sp_get_codelist() now parses all dates correctly

Deprecations

Functions with names not starting with sp_ are deprecated and emit a warning. Use equivalent functions named sp_*.

statnipokladna 0.5.7

Bug fixes

• adapt to new URL scheme for data exports at statnipokladna.cz, fixes #74
• simple codelists with no *_date columns now work in sp_add_codelist(), fixes #66

Minor improvements

• sp_add_codelist() returns a message if joining by multiple columns
• sp_add_codelist() gains a by parameter

Documentation updates

• fixed all outdated links to statnipokladna.cz
• nicer vignette index entries
• vignette and functions now document working with multiple time periods, which differs between datasets/tables
• several clarifications on how to use codelists

statnipokladna 0.5.6

• CRAN fix: replace \dontrun{} with \donttest{} and T/F with TRUE/FALSE
• updated examples so they do not use deprecated functions
• fixed bug in sp_get_table() - missing usethis::
• changed default in sp_get_dataset()
• update examples so nothing breaks
• fixed bug in sp_add_codelist introduced when fixing CRAN note

statnipokladna 0.5.5

Fixes for CRAN

• fix last URL in README by making it absolute

statnipokladna 0.5.4

Fixes for CRAN

• added URL into Description field in DESCRIPTION
• fixed URLs in README

statnipokladna 0.5.3

Changes in documentation

• There is now a basic Get Started vignette, which is complementary to the README and contains basic background to the data
• the original Czech data vignette was renamed to "how-the-data-works-cz.Rmd/html" and the data gotchas part was hived off into "data-issues-cz.Rmd/html"

Bug fixes and minor improvements

• deprecation warnings now show correct package name
• added informative error messages when internet is unavailable
• sp_get_dataset_doc() now checks that dataset exists before pointing/downloading.
• updated README with a bit more detail

Prepare for CRAN release

• added CRAN notes
• updated LICENSE to work for CRAN
• added cran-comments.md

statnipokladna 0.5.2

• all exported functions renamed to sp_* to avoid conflicts with other packages and for better discoverability via autocomplete; original functions are soft-deprecated.

statnipokladna 0.5.1

Improvements

• get_table() now provides access to changes-in-equity data (přehled o změnách vlastního kapitálu, use "changes-in-equity" table id) and cash flow statements (přehled o peněžních tocích, use "cash-flow" id)

statnipokladna 0.5.0

New features

• all functions downloading data now have dest_dir parameter which allows you to store the downloaded files anywhere, not just in temp dir; this in effect enables cross-session storage and avoids unnecessary redownloads

Improvements

• adapt month parameter check to upgrade in the published data which now contains monthly releases for some reports
• argument force_redownload in get_[table|dataset|codelist]() renamed to redownload
• improved UI: messaging and guidance

statnipokladna 0.4.2

• added examples to documentation
• get_table() now fully documents the columns in its output, see help("get_table")

statnipokladna 0.4.1

• fixed bug where get_codelist() did not create the right temp directory

statnipokladna 0.4.0

Breaking changes

• value columns (previously starting with ZU_) now renamed to human-readable English names

New features

• all key tables, except state funds (FINSF) now included in sp_tables and thus available in get_table()

Improvements

• improved documentation - added details to explain what each function assumes and does
• updated README
• fixed issue so package now also handles pre-2014 data
• minor improvement to messages
• speed improvement to data processing by get_table() when ico is set
• codelists downloaded by *_codelist() are now stored in tempdir

statnipokladna 0.3.0

Breaking changes

• the ico parameter in get_table() now directly follows the key parameters; this will break cases where the function was called with unnamed parameters but will make use more straighforward.
• the table_id parameter in get_table() is now a human-readable alphanumeric code, not a meaningless number. This will break all uses of get_table but make future use more sensible.

New features

• new add_codelist() function for joining codelists to core financial data
• get_codelist() gains n parameter, allowing only a limited number of rows of a codelist to be retrieved (to save time)
• get_codelist() has a new paramater which opens the online codelist viewer
• filtering using ico parameter in get_table() now works

Improvements

• updated table of tables (now covers all key tables, includes notes)
• get_codelist() now returns a codelist df ready to join to core data

statnipokladna 0.2.3
