This release includes:

  • The addition of automated coercion of data classes.
    • By default, fetch_ldc() will now attempt to coerce data returned from the Landscape Data Commons into the expected classes using fetch_metadata_ldc() and coerce_ldc().
    • coerce_ldc() now uses fetch_ldc_metadata() to accurately transform values but can also skip the metadata and simply convert variables to numeric where no NA values would be introduced.
  • The new function fetch_ldc_metadata() will retrieve the schema for tables in the Landscape Data Commons which includes information about each variable like the data class (e.g., date, logical, numeric) and number of significant figures.
  • fetch_ldc() now reports the total amount of time elapsed during server requests when verbose is TRUE.
