rdhs 0.7.6

• Authentication patch for downloading datasets (#120)

rdhs 0.7.5

• download_boundaries patch (#138) for pause when downloading survey boundaries. Set default sleep to 5 seconds to avoid timeout.

rdhs 0.7.4

• available_datasets patch (#131) for new version of qdapRegex on CRAN

rdhs 0.7.3

• Reference internal access to model_datasets with rdhs::model_datasets to avoid errors if rdhs namespace is not loaded.

rdhs 0.7.2

• available_datasets patch (#115)

rdhs 0.7.1

• Remove class "dhs_dataset" from downloaded micro data sets. This class is not anywhere and it creates an error for dplyr_v1.0.

  Cached datasets will need to be re-downloaded after updating to clear the dhs_dataset clas.

• Replace readLines() with brio::read_lines() to make parsers robust to Windows encoding issues (similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18789330/r-on-windows-character-encoding-hell).

• Use "sf" as default download method for download_boundaries(..., method = "sf"). Add arguments quiet_download and quiet_parse = TRUE to download_boundaries(). quiet_download (default FALSE) controls download.file() messages. quiet_parse (default TRUE) controls messages from sf::st_read() when method = "sf".

• geojson objects can now be requested from the API so that you can return geojson objects for mapping purposes (#28) e.g. :

d <- dhs_data(countryIds = "SN", surveyYearStart = 2014, 
              breakdown = "subnational", returnGeometry = TRUE,
              f = "geojson")
              
# convert to spatial object
sp <- geojsonio::as.json(d) %>% geojsonio::geojson_sp
