Set user-agent for arcgisutils

Description

Override the default user-agent set by httr2 to indicate that a request came from arcgisutils.

Usage

arc_agent(req)

Arguments

req

an httr2 request

Value

an httr2 request object

Examples

req <- httr2::request("http://example.com")
arc_agent(req)

Generate base request

Description

This function takes a url and creates a basic httr2 request that adds the user-agent and adds an authorization token to the X-Esri-Authorization header.

Usage

arc_base_req(
  url,
  token = NULL,
  path = NULL,
  query = NULL,
  error_call = rlang::caller_env()
)

Arguments

url

a valid url that is passed to httr2::request()

token

an object of class httr2_token as generated by auth_code() or related function

path

a character vector of paths to be appended to url using httr2::req_url_path_append()

query

a named vector or named list of query parameters to be appended to the url using httr2::req_url_query()

error_call

the caller environment to be used when propagating errors.

Examples

arc_base_req("https://arcgis.com")

Determines Portal Host

Description

Returns a scalar character indicating the host to make requests to.

Usage

arc_host()

Details

By default, the host is ArcGIS Online <⁠https://www.arcgis.com⁠>. If the environment variable ARCGIS_HOST is set, it will be returned.

Value

A scalar character, "https://www.arcgis.com" by default.

Examples

arc_host()

Access the Self Resource

Description

The function returns the ⁠/self⁠ resource from the ArcGIS REST API. The ⁠/self⁠ endpoint returns the view of the portal as seen by the current user, whether anonymous or signed in.

Usage

arc_self_meta(token = arc_token(), error_call = rlang::current_call())

Arguments

token

an object of class httr2_token as generated by auth_code() or related function

error_call

the caller environment to be used when propagating errors.

Details

See the endpoint documentation for more details.

The Portal Self response can vary based on whether it's called by a user, an app, or both.

The response includes user and appinfo properties, and the variations in responses are primarily related to these two properties. As the names indicate, the user property includes information about the user making the call, and the appinfo property includes information pertaining to the app that made the call.

Value

A named list.

Examples

## Not run: 
set_arc_token(auth_code())
self <- arc_self_meta()
names(self)

## End(Not run)

Manage authorization tokens

Description

These functions are used to set, fetch, and check authorization tokens.

Usage

arc_token(token = "ARCGIS_TOKEN")

set_arc_token(token, ...)

unset_arc_token(token = NULL)

obj_check_token(token, call = rlang::caller_env())

check_token_has_user(token, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

token

for arc_token(), the name of a token to fetch. For set_arc_token(), it is an httr2_token that will be set. For unset_arc_token(), a character vector of token names to be unset.

...

named arguments to set httr2_token. Must be valid names and must be an httr2_token.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Details

It is possible to have multiple authorization tokens in one session. These functions assist you in managing them.

arc_token() is used to fetch tokens by name. The default token is ARCGIS_TOKEN. However, they can be any valid character scalar. set_arc_token() will create store a token with the name ARCGIS_TOKEN. However, you can alternatively set the tokens by name using a key-value pair. The key is what you would pass to arc_token() to fetch the httr2_token object. To remove a token that has been set, use unset_arc_token().

obj_check_token() is a developer oriented function that can be used to check if an object is indeed an httr2_token. To check if a token has expired, validate_or_refresh_token() will do so.

check_token_has_user() is a developer oriented function that checks to see if a token has a username field associated with it.

For developers:

set_arc_token() uses a package level environment to store the tokens. The tokens are fetched from the environment using arc_token().

Examples

# create fake tokens
token_a <- httr2::oauth_token("1234", arcgis_host = arc_host())
token_b <- httr2::oauth_token("abcd", arcgis_host = arc_host())

# set token to the default location
set_arc_token(token_a)

# fetch token from the default location
arc_token()

# set token by name
set_arc_token(org_a = token_a, org_b = token_b)

# fetch token by name
arc_token("org_a")
arc_token("org_b")

# unset tokens
unset_arc_token()
unset_arc_token(c("org_a", "org_b"))

Create Esri JSON Geometry Objects

Description

as_esri_geometry() converts an sfg object to a EsriJSON Geometry object as a string.

Arguments

x

an object of class sfg. Must be one of "POINT", "MULTIPOINT", "LINESTRING", "MULTILINESTRING", "POLYGON", or "MULTIPOLYGON".

crs

the coordinate reference system. It must be interpretable by sf::st_crs().

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

Create Esri layer objects

Description

These functions are used to generate list objects that can be converted into json objects that are used in REST API requests. Notably they are used for adding R objects as items to a portal.

Usage

as_layer(
  x,
  name,
  title,
  layer_definition = as_layer_definition(x, name, "object_id", infer_esri_type(x)),
  id = NULL,
  layer_url = NULL,
  legend_url = NULL,
  popup_info = NULL,
  call = rlang::caller_env()
)

as_layer_definition(
  x,
  name,
  object_id_field,
  fields = infer_esri_type(x),
  display_field = NULL,
  drawing_info = NULL,
  has_attachments = FALSE,
  max_scale = 0,
  min_scale = 0,
  templates = NULL,
  type_id_field = NULL,
  types = NULL,
  call = rlang::caller_env()
)

as_feature_collection(
  layers = list(),
  show_legend = TRUE,
  call = rlang::caller_env()
)

Arguments

x

an object of class data.frame. This can be an sf object or tibble or any other subclass of data.frame.

name

a scalar character of the name of the layer. Must be unique.

title

A user-friendly string title for the layer that can be used in a table of contents.

layer_definition

a layer definition list as created by as_layer_definition(). A default is derived from x and the name object.

id

A number indicating the index position of the layer in the WMS or map service.

layer_url

default NULL. A string URL to a service that should be used for all queries against the layer. Used with hosted tiled map services on ArcGIS Online when there is an associated feature service that allows for queries.

legend_url

default NULL. A string URL to a legend graphic for the layer. Used with WMS layers. The URL usually contains a GetLegendGraphic request.

popup_info

default NULL. A list that can be converted into a popupInfo object defining the pop-up window content for the layer. There is no helper for popupInfo objects.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

object_id_field

a scalar character vector indicating the name of the object ID field in the dataset.

fields

a data.frame describing the fields in x. These values are inferred by default via infer_esri_type().

display_field

default NULL. A scalar character containing the name of the field that best summarizes the feature. Values from this field are used by default as the titles for pop-up windows.

drawing_info

default NULL. See REST documentation in details for more. There are no helpers or validators for drawingInfo objects.

has_attachments

default FALSE.

max_scale

default NULL. A number representing the maximum scale at which the layer definition will be applied. The number is the scale's denominator; thus, a value of 2400 represents a scale of 1/2,400. A value of 0 indicates that the layer definition will be applied regardless of how far you zoom in.

min_scale

default NULL. A number representing the minimum scale at which the layer definition will be applied.

templates

default NULL. See REST documentation in details for more.

type_id_field

default NULL. See REST documentation in details for more.

types

An array of type objects available for the dataset. This is used when the type_id_field is populated. NOTE there are no helper functions to create type objects. Any type list objects must match the json structure when passed to jsonify::to_json(x, unbox = TRUE).

layers

a list of layers as created by as_layer().

show_legend

default FALSE. Logical scalar indicating if this layer should be shown in the legend in client applications.

Details

A featureCollection defines a layer of features that will be stored on a web map. It consists of an array of layers. The layer contains the features (attributes and geometries) as a featureSet (see as_esri_featureset()) and additional metadata which is stored in the layerDefinitionobject. The layerDefinition most importantly documents the fields in the object, the object ID, and additional metadata such as name, title, and display scale.

Additional documentation for these json object:

Value

A list object containing the required fields for each respective json type. The results can be converted to json using jsonify::to_json(x, unbox = TRUE)

Examples

ld <- as_layer_definition(iris, "iris", "objectID")
l <- as_layer(iris, "iris name", "Iris Title")
fc <- as_feature_collection(layers = list(l))

  secret = Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_SECRET"),
  host = arc_host(),
  expiration = 120
)

auth_binding()

auth_user(
  username = Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_USER"),
  password = Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_PASSWORD"),
  host = arc_host(),
  expiration = 60
)

  call = rlang::caller_env()
)

Arguments

client

an OAuth 2.0 developer application client ID. By default uses the environment variable ARCGIS_CLIENT.

host

default "https://www.arcgis.com"

secret

an OAuth 2.0 developer application secret. By default uses the environment variable ARCGIS_SECRET.

expiration

the duration of the token in minutes.

username

default Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_USER"). Your username to login. Do not hard code this value.

password

default Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_PASSWORD"). Your password to login. Do not hard code this value.

api_key

default Sys.getenv("ARCGIS_API_KEY"). A character scalar of an ArcGIS Developer API key.

token

an httr2_token as created by auth_code() or similar

default 0. If token expiry is within this threshold (in seconds) the token will be refreshed only if a refresh_token is available. Token refreshing is only possible with auth_code() flow.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Details

ArcGIS Online and Enterprise Portals utilize OAuth2 authorization via their REST APIs.

  • auth_code() is the recommend OAuth2 workflow for interactive sessions

  • auth_client() is the recommended OAuth2 workflow for non-interactive sessions

  • auth_user() uses legacy username and password authorization using the generateToken endpoint. It is only recommended for legacy systems that do not implement OAuth2.

  • auth_binding() fetches a token from the active portal set by arcgisbinding. Uses arcgisbinding::arc.check_portal() to extract the authorization token. Recommended if using arcgisbinding.

Value

an httr2_token

Examples

## Not run: 
auth_code()
auth_client()
auth_user()
auth_key()
auth_binding()

## End(Not run)

Detect errors in parsed json response

Description

The requests responses from ArcGIS don't return the status code in the response itself but rather from the body in the json. This function checks for the existence of an error. If an error is found, the contents of the error message are bubbled up.

Usage

detect_errors(response, error_call = rlang::caller_env())

catch_error(response, error_call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

response

for detect_errors(), a list typically from RcppSimdJson::fparse(httr2::resp_body_string(resp)). For catch_error(), the string from httr2::resp_body_string(resp).

error_call

default rlang::caller_env(). The environment from which to throw the error from.

Value

Nothing. Used for it's side effect. If an error code is encountered in the response an error is thrown with the error code and the error message.

Examples

## Not run: 
response <- list(
  error = list(
    code = 400L,
    message = "Unable to generate token.",
    details = "Invalid username or password."
  )
)

detect_errors(response)

## End(Not run)

determine_dims() returns a scalar character of the value "xy", "xyz", or "xyzm" depending on what dimensions are represented.

has_m() and has_z() returns a logical scalar of TRUE or FALSE if the geometry has a Z or M dimension.

Examples

geo <- sf::st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"), quiet = TRUE)[["geometry"]]

determine_dims(geo)
has_z(geo)
has_m(geo)

Usage

determine_esri_geo_type(x, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

x

an object of class data.frame, sf, sfc, or sfg.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

Retrieve metadata

Description

Utility functions for feature service metadata.

Usage

fetch_layer_metadata(url, token = NULL, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

url

the url of the item.

token

an httr2_token from one of the provided auth_ functions

Esri field type mapping

Description

Infers Esri field types from R objects.

Usage

infer_esri_type(
  .data,
  arg = rlang::caller_arg(.data),
  call = rlang::caller_env()
)

get_ptype(field_type, n = 1, call = rlang::caller_env())

ptype_tbl(fields, n = 0, call = rlang::caller_env())

remote_ptype_tbl(fields, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

.data

an object of class data.frame.

arg

An argument name in the current function.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

field_type

a character of a desired Esri field type. See details for more.

n

the number of rows to create in the prototype table

fields

a data.frame containing, at least, the columns type and name. Typically retrieved from the field metadata from a FeatureLayer or Table. Also can use the output of infer_esri_type().

Details

  • get_ptype() takes a scalar character containing the Esri field type and returns a prototype of the pertinent R type

  • infer_esri_type() takes a data frame-like object and infers the Esri field type from it.

  • remote_ptype_tbl() takes a data frame of fields as derived from list_fields() and creates a lazy table proto type intended to be used with dbplyr integration

Field type mapping:

Esri field types are mapped as

  • esriFieldTypeSmallInteger: integer

  • esriFieldTypeSingle: double

  • esriFieldTypeGUID: integer

  • esriFieldTypeOID: integer

  • esriFieldTypeInteger: integer

  • esriFieldTypeBigInteger: double

  • esriFieldTypeDouble: double

  • esriFieldTypeString: character

  • esriFieldTypeDate: date

R types are mapped as

  • double: esriFieldTypeDouble

  • integer: esriFieldTypeInteger

  • character: esriFieldTypeString

  • date: esriFieldTypeDate

  • raw: esriFieldTypeBlob

Value

  • get_pytpe() returns an object of the class of the prototype.

  • ptype_tbl() takes a data.frame with columns name and type and creates an empty data.frame with the corresponding columns and R types

  • remote_ptype_tbl() provides the results of ptype_tbl() as a lazy data frame from the dbplyr package.

  • infer_esri_ptype() returns a data.frame with columns name, type, alias, nullable, and editable columns

    • This resembles that of the fields returned by a FeatureService

Examples

get_ptype("esriFieldTypeDouble")
inferred <- infer_esri_type(iris)
ptype_tbl(inferred)

Date handling

Description

Esri date fields are represented as milliseconds from the Unix Epoch.

Usage

is_date(x, tz)

date_to_ms(x, tz = "UTC")

from_esri_date(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class Date or POSIXt. In the case of is_date(), any R object.

tz

a character string. The time zone specification to be used for the conversion, if one is required. System-specific (see time zones), but "" is the current time zone, and "GMT" is UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated). Invalid values are most commonly treated as UTC, on some platforms with a warning.

Details

  • is_date(): checks if an object is a Date or POSIXt class object.

  • date_to_ms() converts a date object to milliseconds from the Unix Epoch in the specified time zone.

Value

  • is_date() returns a logical scalar

  • date_to_ms() returns a numeric vector of times in milliseconds from the Unix Epoch in the specified time zone.

Examples

today <- Sys.Date()

is_date(today)

date_to_ms(today)

Parse Esri JSON

Description

Parses an Esri FeatureSet JSON object into an R object. If there is no geometry present, a data.frame is returned. If there is geometry, an sf object is returned.

Usage

parse_esri_json(string, ..., call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

string

the raw Esri JSON string.

...

additional arguments passed to RcppSimdJson::fparse

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Value

A data.frame. If geometry is found, returns an sf object.

Examples

esri_json <- '{
    "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolygon",
    "spatialReference": {
        "wkid": 4326
    },
    "hasZ": false,
    "hasM": false,
    "features": [
        {
            "attributes": {
                "id": 1
            },
            "geometry": {
                "rings": [
                    [

                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}'

parse_esri_json(esri_json)

Combine multiple data.frames

Description

A general function that takes a list of data.frames and returns a single and combines them into a single object. It will use the fastest method available. In order this is collapse::rowbind(), data.table::rbindlist(), vctrs::list_unchop(), then do.call(rbind.data.frame, x).

Usage

rbind_results(x, call = rlang::current_env(), .ptype = data.frame())

Arguments

x

a list where each element is a data.frame or NULL.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

.ptype

currently unused. Reserved for a future release.

Details

If all items in the list are data.frames, then the result will be a data.frame. If all elements are an sf object, then the result will be an sf object. If the items are mixed, the result will be a data.frame.

If any items are NULL, then an attribute null_elements will be attached to the result. The attribute is an integer vector of the indices that were NULL.

Value

see details.

Examples

x <- head(iris)
res <- rbind_results(list(x, NULL, x))
attr(res, "null_elements")

Validate CRS object

Description

Takes a representation of a CRS and ensures that it is a valid one. The CRS is validated using sf::st_crs() if it cannot be validated, a null CRS is returned.

Usage

validate_crs(crs, arg = rlang::caller_arg(crs), call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

crs

a representation of a coordinate reference system.

arg

An argument name in the current function.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Details

See sf::st_crs() for more details on valid representations.

Value

Returns a list of length 1 with an element named spatialReference which is itself a named list.

If the provided CRS returns a valid well-known ID (WKID) spatialReference contains a named element called wkid which is the integer value of the WKID. If the WKID is not known but the CRS returned is a valid well-known text representation the wkid field is NA and another field wkt contains the valid wkt.

Examples

# using epsg code integer or string representation
validate_crs(3857)
validate_crs("EPSG:4326")

# using a custom proj4 string
proj4string <- "+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"

crs <- validate_crs(proj4string)

# using wkt2 (from above result)
crs <- validate_crs(crs$spatialReference$wkt)
