Using DAWA to crosstab municipalities and their regions.
The function get_data() fetches the data in
json format and by default transforms it to a
data.frame.
library(dawaR)
library(dplyr)
municipalities <- get_data("kommuner")
nordjylland <- municipalities |>
filter(regionsnavn == "Region Nordjylland") |>
pull(navn)
nordjylland
#> [1] "Morsø" "Thisted" "Brønderslev" "Frederikshavn"
#> [5] "Vesthimmerlands" "Læsø" "Rebild" "Mariagerfjord"
#> [9] "Jammerbugt" "Aalborg" "Hjørring"Here we have extracted all the municipalities that are in “Region
Nordjylland”. The same can be done for voting precincts or police
regions. It can also be done for addresses and others. Look through the
available sections with available_sections().
Using DAWA map data
The function get_map_data() fetches data in
geojson format and transforms the geometries to
{sf} polygons. These polygons can be drawn as nice maps
with {ggplot2}.
library(dawaR)
library(ggplot2)
municipalities <- get_map_data("kommuner")
#> → Getting data on `kommuner`. This usually takes 13.13s.
#> Fetching data from the API. This will take some time.
#> Reading data to `st`.
#> Converting map data to `sf` object
ggplot(municipalities, aes(fill = regionsnavn)) +
geom_sf(color = "black") +
labs(fill = "Region") +
cowplot::theme_map()
