Import from URL
struckma opened this issue · comments
Thank you for this great package, I thought, there should be an existing solution for such a common problem like reading in a data frame in an R GUI, and was surprised by the great options of datamods
. Thank you for that. However, I have a feature request here.
Many data sets are available as e.g. CSV files from URLs in the internet. With the file widget, I can only select local files, with the Google-Widget only Google spreadsheets. Since rio::import
also supports URLs in its file
argument (according to its manual, version 0.5.27), it should be a low-hanging fruit to have a widget for reading files from URLs.
Therefore, I would like to put a feature request here for a new import-class for external files.
Hello,
If you re-install from GitHub with:
remotes::install_github("dreamRs/datamods")
there's a new module called import_url_ui()
/ import_url_server()
added in #39 that may serve your needs.
It's not yet on CRAN, but i'll try to submit soon.

Yes, indeed, that works great, sorry for the duplicate.
