tw_write_item_to_cache: Writes item to cache

In giocomai/tidywikidatar: Explore 'Wikidata' Through Tidy Data Frames

Writes item to cache

Description

Writes item to cache. Typically used internally, but exported to enable custom caching solutions.

Usage

tw_write_item_to_cache(
  item_df,
  language = tidywikidatar::tw_get_language(),
  cache = NULL,
  overwrite_cache = FALSE,
  cache_connection = NULL,
  disconnect_db = TRUE
)

Arguments

item_df	A data frame with three columns typically generated with tw_get().
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 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all
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 first deletes all rows associated with the item(s) included in item_df. 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

Nothing, used for its side effects.

Examples

tw_set_cache_folder(path = fs::path(tempdir(), paste(sample(letters, 24), collapse = "")))
tw_create_cache_folder(ask = FALSE)
tw_disable_cache()

df_from_api <- tw_get(id = "Q180099", language = "en")

df_from_cache <- tw_get_cached_item(
  id = "Q180099",
  language = "en"
)

is.null(df_from_cache) # expect TRUE, as nothing has yet been stored in cache

tw_write_item_to_cache(
  item_df = df_from_api,
  language = "en",
  cache = TRUE
)

df_from_cache <- tw_get_cached_item(
  id = "Q180099",
  language = "en",
  cache = TRUE
)

is.null(df_from_cache) # expect a data frame, same as df_from_api
