Read shapefile from any file or folder (trying to infer the format)

Usage

shapefile_from_any(
  path = NULL,
  cleanit = TRUE,
  crs = 4269,
  layer = NULL,
  inputname = NULL,
  silentinteractive = FALSE,
  ...
)

path

path of file(s) that is/are .gdb, .zip, .shp, .kml, .geojson, .json, etc., or folder

If .zip or folder that has more than one shapefile in it, cannot be read by this function, and must be unzipped and handled separately.
If folder, tries to read with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_folder() Folder must contain one each of files with extensions .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj
If .zip containing a folder, unzips, then tries to read with (unexported) helpers shapefile_from_folder() or shapefile_from_gdbzip()
If .zip containing .gdb, reads with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_gdbzip()
If .gdb, reads with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_gdb()
If .json or .geojson, reads with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_json()
If text in geojson format, reads with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_geojson_text()
If .kml or .shp, uses sf::st_read()
If vector of .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj file names (that may include paths), reads with (unexported) helper shapefile_from_filepaths()

cleanit

set to FALSE if you want to skip validation and dropping invalid rows

crs

passed to helper functions and default is crs = 4269 or Geodetic CRS NAD83

layer

optional layer name passed to sf::st_read()

inputname

vector of shiny fileInput uploaded filenames

silentinteractive

set to TRUE to NOT prompt for a file/folder when one is not specified

...

passed to sf::st_read()

a simple feature sf::sf class spatial data.frame
