download_zip_data: Legacy in-place data downloader

In zipcodeR: Data & Functions for Working with US ZIP Codes

Legacy in-place data downloader

Description

This function is retained without behavioral changes for reproducibility with zipcodeR 0.3.5. It attempts to modify files inside an installed package and resolves an upstream "latest" release, so it is unsuitable for a pinned research workflow. New work should use download_zip_data_bundle() or read_zip_data_bundle() and pass the resulting object explicitly to the ⁠_ng⁠ API. No runtime warning is emitted because warnings are part of the frozen legacy contract.

Usage

download_zip_data(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

Boolean, if set to TRUE will force overwrite existing data files with new version

Value

Data files needed for package functionality, stored in data directory of package install

Examples

## Not run: 
download_zip_data()

## End(Not run)
