R/get_florabank_traits.R
get_florabank_traits.RdThis function takes as input (part of) a taxon trait name, queries the florabank and returns the taxon trait values in a tidy data format
get_florabank_traits(connection, trait_name, collect = FALSE)A connection to the florabank database. See the example section for how to connect and disconnect to the database.
A (part of) a trait name for which you want to get the associated taxon-specific trait values. If this is missing, the function returns an error and prints a message showing all possible trait names.
If FALSE (the default), a remote tbl object is returned.
This
is like a reference to the result of the query but the full result of the
query is not brought into memory. If TRUE the full result of the query is
collected (fetched) from the database and brought into memory of the working
environment.
A remote tbl object (collect = FALSE) or a tibble dataframe
(collect = TRUE) containing the trait values for each species and for all
partially matched traits. The dataframe contains the variables
TaxonID,
TaxonAfkorting,
TaxonWetenschappelijk,
TaxonNederlands,
Kenmerk,
Code,
Omschrijving,
Rekenwaarde,
Bron and
ExtraOmschrijving.
The first four variables identify the taxon, the latter five variables relate
to the taxon traits.
