mapmetadata 3.0.0 (2025-01-06)

Thanks in part to helpful rOpenSci editor comments (ropensci/software-review#674) this release makes some improvements to the package, making it more suitable for the rOpenSci software review process, which will be based on this new release going forward.

BREAKING CHANGES

  • The package name has changed from browseMetadata to mapmetadata. mapmetadata better reflects the function of this package and complies with formatting best practice for R package naming
  • Combined the browse function into the map function to simplify package use for the user
  • Changed some function names to match object_verb convention
  • Now using csv (not json) as the the metadata input to reflect the new structure from Health Data Research Gateway
  • Removed some custom functions, because utils already offered these! (or very similar)

NEW FEATURES

  • Clearer and more detailed user documentation in README and package website

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Logo has been replaced to reflect new package name
  • Updated DESCRIPTION file to directly mention Health Data Research Gateway as a data source for this package, normalised the DESCRIPTION file formatting
  • Open up the html output file automatically in the user's browser, insteading of prompting the user to do this manually
  • Internal functions no longer listed on the package website, only user functions
  • Handle temp directories better in unit tests, by using withr::local_tempdir()
  • Improved unit tests by using testthat::local_mocked_bindings
