hm_build_generic: Load native data files automatically

hm_build_genericR Documentation

Load native data files automatically

Description

The method allows you to automatically load your native data inside the hydromet_station slots.

Usage

hm_build_generic(
  obj,
  path,
  file_name,
  slot_name,
  by = "none",
  out_name = NULL,
  sheet = NULL,
  FUN,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'hydromet_station'
hm_build_generic(
  obj,
  path,
  file_name,
  slot_name,
  by = "none",
  out_name = NULL,
  sheet = NULL,
  FUN,
  ...
)

Arguments

obj

a valid hydromet_station class object.

path

string vector with the path(s) to the file_name argument. If you set a single string it will be recycled for all the files.

file_name

string vector with the native file(s) name(s).

slot_name

string vector with the slot(s) where to set the file(s) or sheet(s).

by

string vector with the time step of the series (e.g.: 'month', day', '6 hour', '3 hour', '1 hour', '15 min' ). If you set it as "none", the function will ignore automatic gap filling. If you set a single string, it will be recycled for all the files.

out_name

optional. A list containing string vectors with user defined variable(s) column(s) name(s). The list length should be equal to the slot_name length.

sheet

Sheet to read (only excel files). Either a string vector (the name of a sheet) or an integer vector (the position of the sheet). This argument just make sense for excel files.

FUN

function name for reading the data (e.g.: read_csv()). The method will always use the path + file as first argument(s) to FUN.

...

FUN arguments to pass.

Value

A hydromet_station object with the required data loaded inside.
