Data Deprecated Source #10

Open eedward3 opened 7 years ago

eedward3 commented 7 years ago

I am working through the tutorials found at https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/colors.html. They say that data is pulled from http://data.okfn.org/data/datasets/geo-boundaries-world-110m#data which then leads me to this github page for more maintained packages. However, pulling this data in is not functioning with the steps given in the tutorial. Have changes been made to the data?

Thank you.

If you look into the file, this one doesn't contain data like gdp, population, etc. That's why it's not working with the tutorial.

Thank you for the reply and information. Do you have any suggestions on where that dataset is now located, so that I may follow through with the tutorial?

karlafej commented 7 years ago

I would use the old one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datasets/geo-boundaries-world-110m/master/countries.geojson (I hope it will work...)

Thanks karlafej, I'll give that a go! Appreciate the help.
