Further cache support (cr_abstract and cr_works) #241

Open LukasWallrich opened 1 year ago

LukasWallrich commented 1 year ago

In line with the addition to cr_cn() in #237, I now added a cache = TRUE option to cr_works and cr_abstract.

One limitation: In cr_works, it is based on full requests rather than individual DOIs, which is not ideal but was easier to implement and should usually be sufficient. If too many DOIs are requested at once, however, the request cannot be cached, so an informative warning is provided and the request is executed without cache.

There was an issue with vcr when implementing the test, and I did not understand the error - it works without vcr which seems to be what matters but I refrained from writing further tests for now, happy to continue on that if you have a suggestion for how to make vcr play nice.
