importAURN should allow station name and possibly even local authorities #197

Closed Robinlovelace closed 5 years ago

Robinlovelace commented 5 years ago

Sorry to add to the list, and great package but, as discussed with James Tate, I think it would be very useful for people to be able to enter a local authority name, or at least see a list of stations in the pkg. In fact I'm up for giving this a go: a lookup table is all that's needed. We've built something similar in the stats19 package.

At the very least the help page should have a link to this: https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/assets/documents/reports/cat13/1011121246_Site_Classifications_Report_v2.pdf

Have a look at:

meta <- importMeta(source = "aurn", all = TRUE)

Aha, didn't see that function. That solves the problem in terms of code. In terms of documentation, I see it's in there but have tried to make it even clearer where to get metadata for users in #199
