Default directory for persistent storage for contact surveys

Use contactsurveys_dir() to view the default storage location for files that are downloaded. The download_survey() function downloads files into contactsurveys_dir(). This uses a directory that is specific to your operating system, powered by the base function, tools::R_user_dir(). You can override this by setting an environment variable, CONTACTSURVEYS_HOME. The functions list_surveys() and download_survey() will use this default directory. You can also specify the directory argument in these functions in place of the default value, contactsurveys_dir(). This approach has been borrowed from Carl Boettiger's neonstore R package.

Usage

contactsurveys_dir()

Value

the active contactsurveys directory.

Sys.setenv(CONTACTSURVEYS_HOME = tempdir())
