trud 0.2.0

Major changes

• Enhanced parameter design with enum validation:

  • get_item_metadata() and get_subscribed_metadata() now use release_scope = c("all", "latest") parameter instead of latest_only boolean. This makes function calls more expressive and eliminates boolean ambiguity.
  • download_item() now uses file_type = c("archive", "checksum", "signature", "publicKey") parameter instead of download_file.

• Added overwrite parameter to download_item() allowing users to explicitly control whether existing files should be overwritten.

• Breaking changes:

  • Removed TRUD_API_KEY parameter from all exported functions. API keys must now be set via the TRUD_API_KEY environment variable only.
  • download_item() parameter download_file renamed to file_type with enhanced validation.
  • get_item_metadata() and get_subscribed_metadata() parameter latest_only replaced with release_scope.

Minor changes and bug fixes

• Improved documentation and user experience:
  • Enhanced subscription workflow documentation with clear step-by-step guidance.
  • Added explanation that purrr::map_at() pattern is used in examples to avoid exposing API keys.
  • Clarified how to obtain and use release IDs from get_item_metadata() for downloading specific releases.
• Enhanced robustness and testing:
  • Added validation warnings to trud_items() to detect changes in NHS TRUD website structure that might break the scraper.
  • Refactored tests to use withr::local_tempdir() for better test isolation and cleanup.
  • Improved test descriptions to be more specific and informative.
  • Enhanced error handling with better retry logic and rate limiting.
• Technical improvements:
  • Added support for custom user agent headers via TRUD_USER_AGENT environment variable.
  • Improved file existence handling in download_item() with clearer warning messages.
  • Enhanced request handling with retry logic, and rate limiting.
  • Consistently return file paths invisibly from download_item().
