## some utility functions used internally within the NBN4R library: not exported 

##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
is.notempty.string <- function(x) {
  
   ALA4R:::is.notempty.string(x)
  
}
##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## internal function for converting chr data types to numeric or logical
convert_dt <- function(x,test_numeric=TRUE) {
  
  ALA4R:::convert_dt(x,test_numeric)
  
}
##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

clean_string <- function(x) {
  
  ALA4R:::clean_string(x)
 
}

##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##convert to camel case ... modified from help forum example
## not exported for users: internal NBN4R use only

tocamel <- function(x, delim = "[^[:alnum:]]", upper = FALSE, sep = "") {
  
  ALA4R:::tocamel(x, delim, upper, sep)
}

##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## define column names that we will remove from the results because we don't think they will be useful in the NBN4R context

unwanted_columns <- function(type) {
  ALA4R:::unwanted_columns(type)

##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rename_variables <- function(varnames,type,verbose=nbn_config()$verbose) {

## construct url path, taking care to remove multiple forward slashes, leading slash
clean_path <- function(...,sep="/") {

}

##---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## convenience function for building urls
## pass path in one of several ways
##  as single string: build_url_from_parts(base_url,"path/to/thing")
##  as a character vector or list: build_url_from_parts(base_url,c("path","to","thing"))
##  or a combination

build_url_from_parts <- function(base_url,path=NULL,query=list()) {

## wrapper around read.csv but suppressing "incomplete final line" warning
