get_reps_senate {AustralianPoliticians}

Generate datasets for House of Representative and Senate members service dates.

Description

‘get_reps_senate()' generates a dataset for members’ service time for the Australian House of Representatives, the Australian Senate, or a joined dataset containing values for both the HoR and Senate. Additionally, will produce a set of arguments that can be used as request codes for the individual datasets.

Usage

get_reps_senate(x)

Arguments

x

A character string used to request a printout of the request code arguments, *see Request Codes* below, or one of three prepared datasets.

Details

There are four request codes: 'reps_senate', 'reps', 'senate' and 'codes'.

The specifics of these are:

- 'reps_senate' - generates a dataset of HoRs and Senate members; - 'reps' - generates a dataset of HoRs members; - 'senate' - generates a dataset of Senate members; and - 'codes' - returns a tibble of codes used to request data.

An incorrect request code (an argument not associated with a dataset or non-character string argument) will stop function processes and return an error message.

Value

A console printout of a tibble containing arguments to be used with the function, or the requested dataset using x assigned to a user created variable.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Generate a printout of the arguments.
get_reps_senate("codes")

# Generate combined HoR and Senate dataset.
reps_senate <- get_reps_senate("reps_senate")

# Preview dataset.
head(reps_senate)

# Generate only HoR dataset.
reps <- get_reps_senate("reps")

# Preview dataset.
