These functions create an array of Esri Feature objects. Each feature consists of a geometry and attribute field. The result of as_esri_features() is a JSON array of Features whereas as_features() is a list that represents the same JSON array. Using jsonify::to_json(as_features(x), unbox = TRUE) will result in the same JSON array.

Usage

as_features(x, crs = sf::st_crs(x), call = rlang::caller_env())

as_esri_features(x, crs = sf::st_crs(x), call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

x

an object of class sf, data.frame, or sfc.

crs

the coordinate reference system. It must be interpretable by sf::st_crs().

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Value

Either a scalar string or a named list.
