Method new()

This method is used to instantiate a WFSClient with the url of the OGC service. Authentication is supported using basic auth (using user/pwd arguments), bearer token (using token argument), or custom (using headers argument). By default, the logger argument will be set to NULL (no logger). This argument accepts two possible values: INFO: to print only ows4R logs, DEBUG: to print more verbose logs

Usage

WFSClient$new(
  url,
  serviceVersion = NULL,
  user = NULL,
  pwd = NULL,
  token = NULL,
  headers = c(),
  config = httr::config(),
  cas_url = NULL,
  logger = NULL
)

Arguments

url

url

serviceVersion

WFS service version

user

user

pwd

password

token

token

headers

headers

config

config

cas_url

Central Authentication Service (CAS) URL

logger

Method getCapabilities()

Get WFS capabilities

Usage

WFSClient$getCapabilities()

Returns

an object of class WFSCapabilities

---

Method reloadCapabilities()

Reloads WFS capabilities

Usage

WFSClient$reloadCapabilities()

---

Method describeFeatureType()

Describes a feature type

Usage

WFSClient$describeFeatureType(typeName)

Arguments

typeName

the name of the feature type

Returns

a list of WFSFeatureTypeElement

---

Method getFeatures()

Get features

Usage

WFSClient$getFeatures(typeName, ...)

Arguments

typeName

the name of the feature type

...

any other parameter to pass to the WFSGetFeature request

Returns

features as object of class sf

---

Method getFeatureTypes()

List the feature types available. If pretty is TRUE, the output will be an object of class data.frame

Usage

WFSClient$getFeatureTypes(pretty = FALSE)

Arguments

pretty

whether the output should be summarized as data.frame

Returns

a list of WFSFeatureType or a data.frame

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

WFSClient$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
