flexi_filter
for?The International Infectious Disease Data Archive (IIDDA) api is
designed to allow users to obtain filtered subsets of the data. The
function iidda.analysis::flexi_filter
enables filtering
IIDDA datasets with regex queries. flexi_filter
is
[currently] bare-bones; searches that involve filtering on more than one
field simultaneously usually have to be be handled by joining the
results of two or more separate calls to flexi_filter
.
flexi_filter
return?flexi_filter
can query any of the fields from different
types of IIDDA datasets. The type of dataset queried is specified with
the argument response_type
, and can take the values
"metadata"
for metadata headers for each flat datafile,
"columns"
for field names in the flat data files
themselves, or "data_dictionary"
for definitions of the
field names in either the flat data files or their associated
metadata.
