Codestin Search App

drop dependency on WikipediR
report informative error message from the api in tw_search and related functions
include "tidywikidatar/version" user agent in tw_search and related functions
fix tw_get_wikipedia_section_links when url provided as input

fix: tw_search now checks cache efficiently also when cache settings are passed as parameters
fix: minor adjustments to prevent warnings and error with latest purrr and tidyselect

enhancement: tw_get_wikipedia_page_links() now works more efficiently with cache and deals more graciously when given links to non-existing Wikipedia pages
fix: tw_get_wikipedia_category_members() now works as expected also when caching is disabled
fix: deal consistently with Wikipedia pages that have "&" or other special characters in their title
fix: tw_get_wikipedia_page_links() now works consistently when non-standard characters or non-latin alphabets found in url
fix: tw_get_wikipedia_page_qid() now works consistently when url given is not in the language set with tw_set_language()

new feature: get identifiers of pages that are members of a category on Wikipedia with tw_get_wikipedia_category_members()
fix: return a data frame of a single row filled with NA values when tw_get_qualifiers() would return no information on a given item/property combination; this ensures caching works as expected also in such cases.
fix: error in caching functions apparently due to dbplyr update/incompatibility with the pool package

new feature: tw_get_p_wide() offers a more efficient way to get wide data frames with a number of properties (with relative labels) for a set of Wikidata id; it also facilitates collapsing values for ease of export to csv.
new: introduce tw_get_p1() as a shorthand for tw_get_p(only_first = TRUE, preferred = TRUE)
new: when pre-cached data is given to functions such as tw_get_property() or tw_get_label(), it looks for missing data if not all are present in given data frame
new: introduce cache indexing convenience functions, tw_index_cache_item() and tw_index_cache_search(). These should be significantly improved performance on the caching backend, but these are currently introduced as an opt-in as they have not been thoroughly tested with different database drivers. Running them once drastically improve performance with MySql when the cache goes into million of items. See also the vignette on caching.
fix: don't look for cache folder when cache disabled in tw_get_p()
fix: better handling of cases when NA (including, a vector with only NA), or NULL, are given as input to various functions
fix: when only a partial pre-cached data frame is passed to tw_get() and other functions as input, missing items are queried
fix: tw_get_wikipedia() consistently returns vector of the same length as input
fix: rank column mistakenly dropped in some cases when using tw_get_property()
fix: when caching language is set manually via parameter (instead of via environment variable), a separate SQLite database is used, as expected
new: tw_check_qid() has more parameters to deal with different use cases
new: new set of functions to add index to databases to improve performance when the local cache grows to many millions rows (tw_check_cache_index(), tw_index_cache_item(), and tw_index_cache_search()). Tested with MySql.
all _single functions used internally are now not exported to facilitate auto-complete
new maintainer email address due to CRAN issues

introduce functions to get list of sections of Wikipedia pages - tw_get_wikipedia_page_sections() - and then extract the links from a specific section - tw_get_wikipedia_page_section_links()
introduce convenience function to get all Wikidata items that have a given property, irrespective of the value, tw_get_all_with_p()
tw_search() now has separate parameters for the search language, and the language in which label and description and returned (previously, these were always in English)
fix tw_get_qualifiers() when qualifier value is of type quantity
keep smooth caching also when a Wikidata item has no values and no label in the current language
introduce additional settings in database connections for drivers that need them
minor bug fixes

new vignette with examples starting from a Wikipedia page, with more examples using piped operations, and clearer references that separate group of functions in official documentation website
tw_get() now keeps rank by default, facilitating retrieving more relevant results
tw_get_qualifiers() now includes ranking such as "preferred", "normal", and "deprecated" associated with each property, as well as value type of the output (new format incompatible with previous cache, reset cache with tw_reset_qualifiers_cache())
tw_get_qualifiers() not returns correctly value when qualifier value type is a string (not a Wikidata identifier, not a date)
tw_get_image() not respects all parameters consistently. tw_get_image() and tw_get_image_metadata() are now briefly described in the README.
tw_get_wikipedia_page_links() now caches results, and provides more consistent results as a data frame
introduce tw_get_p() as an alias of tw_get_property_same_length() for brevity
introduce new parameters in tw_get_p() to deal with common pattern when only "preferred" or most recent property should be returned, rather than whatever Wikidata has first in the list, and add new section in the readme
add example datasets for illustrative purposes and forthcoming additional vignettes and examples, tw_qid_meps and tw_qid_airports
drop legacy include_id_and_p parameter tw_get_qualifiers()
add support for setting database connection parameters with tw_set_cache_db() for easier use of alternatives to SQLite
new naming convention for local SQLite database, to reflect change that there is now one database per language
improve handling of connections to reduce the risk of connections remaining open, aiming at higher efficiency for integration with shiny apps
bug fix: fix error when Wikidata item has no label in any language

tw_get_image() now returns consistently valid links if format is set to 'embed'; it is now possible to get a direct link to images with a given resolution with the width parameter
introduce tw_get_image_metadata() to obtain adequate credits to be included when images are used
introduce functions to get Wikidata identifiers from Wikipedia pages
tw_get_property() now consistently returns a data frame with properties in the same order as given and does not fail if given invalid values
more consistent testing, less likely to be impacted by changes in Wikidata items
updated README with examples using the pipe operator

bug fix release: tw_get_label(), now actually always returns vector of the same length as input
new functions used internally for consistency and preventing the above issue under different scenarios
invalid identifiers and NA are now ignored by tw_get()
