phslookups (development version)

• get_national_ref_file() is a new function for reading lookups in the ‘National Reference Files’. Simply provide the name of the file you need e.g. get_national_ref_file("gpprac").

phslookups 0.2.0

• Fixed a typo in the lookup path that meant the package wouldn’t work on Windows (RStudio Desktop).
• Make the minimum required R version 4.1
• Overhaul the README; fixed out of date information, and added more detail and examples.
• Metadata is now available! Currently, this is only for the Scottish Postcode Directory (get_spd()), but we will bring it to the other lookups soon, too. You can see the metadata by using metadata() on the lookup object, for example:

spd <- get_spd()
metadata(spd)

phslookups 0.1.0

• Initial version, which includes: get_hscp_locality(), get_simd_datazone(), get_simd_postcode(), and get_spd()
