checkNames: Check Attribute Validity

In ecoservR/ecoserv_tool: Natural Capital Mapping Toolkit (UK)

Check Attribute Validity

Description

This function checks that the attribute names supplied by user are indeed present in a dataset without importing it, so that a large object is only read when attributes are valid. This function is not meant to be called directly by user but called before importing data.

Usage

checkNames(folder, layer = NULL, user_names, name = NULL)

Arguments

folder	Folder where spatial file or files are stored
layer	Layer name if several layers present in folder
user_names	A named vector of attributes, names being the target EcoservR name and items being the actual name in dataset
name	The name of the dataset that is being checked, to customise error message if needed

Value

A list of spatial files
