Export data into a csv and/or rds file

Usage

ss_export_county_files(
  dat,
  county = "",
  output_path = NULL,
  export_csv = TRUE,
  export_rds = TRUE
)

Arguments

dat

Dataframe to be exported, e.g., output from export_county_data().

county

County name. Will be appended with today's date as the name of the output file.

output_path

Path to where there assembled file(s) will be exported. The default will export the csv file to the open_data folder and the rds file to the processed_data/assembled_data folder (both on the R drive). For custom output_path entries, the csv and rds files will be exported to the same folder.

export_csv

Logical argument indicating whether the data should be exported as a csv file. File name will be county_todays-date.csv. Default is TRUE.

Note: timestamp_utc is converted to a character before exporting to remove UTC formatting (2018-12-23T05:00:00Z). When re-imported into R, the UTC timezone can be added using lubridate::force_tz().

NAs are exported as blank cells at the request of the Open Data Portal.

export_rds

Logical argument indicating whether the assembled data should be exported as a *.rds file. File name will be county_todays-date.rds. Default is TRUE.

Value

Exports dat as a csv and/or rds file.
