tw_write_qualifiers_to_cache: Write qualifiers to cache

Write qualifiers to cache

Description

Mostly to be used internally by tidywikidatar, use with caution to keep caching consistent.

Usage

tw_write_qualifiers_to_cache(
  qualifiers_df,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE
)

Arguments

qualifiers_df	A data frame typically generated with tw_get_qualifiers().
language	Defaults to language set with tw_set_language(); if not set, "en". Use "all_available" to keep all languages. For available language values, see the dedicated Wikimedia page.
cache	Defaults to NULL. If given, it should be given either TRUE or FALSE. Typically set with tw_enable_cache() or tw_disable_cache().
overwrite_cache	Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, it overwrites the table in the local sqlite database. Useful if the original Wikidata object has been updated.
cache_connection	Defaults to NULL. If NULL, and caching is enabled, tidywikidatar will use a local sqlite database. A custom connection to other databases can be given (see vignette caching for details).
disconnect_db	Defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, leaves the connection to cache open.

Value

Silently returns the same data frame provided as input. Mostly used internally for its side effects.

Examples

q_df <- tw_get_qualifiers(
  id = "Q180099",
  p = "P26",
  language = "en",
  cache = FALSE
)

tw_write_qualifiers_to_cache(
  qualifiers_df = q_df,
  language = "en",
  cache = TRUE
)
