openFDA 0.1.0.9002

• BREAKING CHANGES:
  • Changed name of warn_on_http_error argument in openFDA() to handle_http_errors, to reflect the new package-level option.
• Added paging parameter to openFDA() function. This parameter controls whether paging (returning multiple sets of results for one query) occurs where necessary. Check out the documentation for openFDA() for more information.
• Added package-level options to openFDA
  • openFDA.paging; the default value of which is "ask". A user can change this option to alter the default paging behaviour of the openFDA() function (to "always" page results or "never" page results).
  • openFDA.paging_verbosity; the default value of which is "verbose". A user can change this option to control whether messages about potential paging are printed to the console.
  • openFDA.handle_http_errors; the default value of which is "warn". A user can change this option to alter how non-200 OK HTTP codes are handled (they can be silenced or trigger errors).
• Added openFDA_options() and current_openFDA_options(), two functions which can be used to get/set and get openFDA package-level option values, respectively.
• API keys are now stored/retrieved using the keyring package. This is a more secure alternative to simply using environment variables, as users are prompted to supply the API key interactively (instead of storing them in a script).
• The openFDA() function now supports caching with memoise::memoise().
• Added extra (hopefully clearer) content to package vignettes/articles.
• Added minimum R version (4.1.0)
