## Using the opensensmapr Caching Feature
All data retrieval functions of `opensensmapr` have a built in caching feature,
which serializes an API response to disk.
Subsequent identical requests will then return the serialized data instead of making
another request.
To do so, each request is given a unique ID based on its parameters.
To use this feature, just add a path to a directory to the `cache` parameter:
```{r cache}
b = osem_boxes(cache = tempdir())
list.files(tempdir(), pattern = 'osemcache\\..*\\.rds')
b = osem_boxes(grouptag = 'ifgi', cache = tempdir())
# the next identical request will hit the cache only!
b = osem_boxes(cache = tempdir())
b = osem_boxes(grouptag = 'ifgi', cache = tempdir())
# requests without the cache parameter will still be performed normally
b = osem_boxes()
b = osem_boxes(grouptag = 'ifgi')
```
Looking at the cache directory we can see one file for each request, which is identified through a hash of the request URL:
```{r cachelisting}
list.files(tempdir(), pattern = 'osemcache\\..*\\.rds')
```
You can maintain multiple caches simultaneously which allows to store only
serialized data related to a script in its directory:
You can maintain multiple caches simultaneously which allows to only store data related to a script in the same directory:

cacheDir = getwd() # current working directory
b = osem_boxes(cache = cacheDir)

# the next identical request will hit the cache only!
b = osem_boxes(cache = cacheDir)
b = osem_boxes(grouptag = 'ifgi', cache = cacheDir)
```
To get fresh results again, just call `osem_clear_cache()` for the respective cache:
```{r clearcache}
osem_clear_cache() # clears default cache
```{r clearcache, results='hide'}
osem_clear_cache() # clears default cache
osem_clear_cache(getwd()) # clears a custom cache
```

This method also persists the R object metadata (classes, attributes).
If you were to use a serialization method that can't persist object metadata, you
could re-apply it with the following functions:
```{r serialize_attrs}
# note the toJSON call

boxes_without_attrs = jsonlite::fromJSON('boxes_bad.json')
# note the toJSON call instead of serializeJSON

class(boxes_with_attrs)
measurements_with_attrs = osem_as_measurements(measurements_without_attrs)

```
The same goes for measurements via `osem_as_measurements()`.
## Workflow for reproducible code
For truly reproducible code you want it to work and return the same results --
no matter if you run it the first time or a consecutive time, and without making
changes to it.
Therefore we need a wrapper around the save-to-file & load-from-file logic.
The following examples show a way to do just that, and where inspired by
[this reproducible analysis by Daniel Nuest](https://github.com/nuest/sensebox-binder).
```{r osem_offline}
# offline logic
osem_offline = function (func, file, format='rds', ...) {
# deserialize if file exists, otherwise download and serialize
if (file.exists(file)) {
if (format == 'json')
jsonlite::unserializeJSON(readr::read_file(file))
else
readRDS(file)
} else {
data = func(...)
if (format == 'json')
write(jsonlite::serializeJSON(data), file = file)
else
saveRDS(data, file)
data
}
}
# wrappers for each download function
osem_measurements_offline = function (file, ...) {
osem_offline(opensensmapr::osem_measurements, file, ...)
}
osem_boxes_offline = function (file, ...) {
osem_offline(opensensmapr::osem_boxes, file, ...)
}
osem_box_offline = function (file, ...) {
osem_offline(opensensmapr::osem_box, file, ...)
}
osem_counts_offline = function (file, ...) {
osem_offline(opensensmapr::osem_counts, file, ...)
}
```
Thats it! Now let's try it out:
```{r test}
# first run; will download and save to disk
b1 = osem_boxes_offline('mobileboxes.rds', exposure='mobile')
The same goes for boxes via `osem_as_sensebox()`.
# consecutive runs; will read from disk
b2 = osem_boxes_offline('mobileboxes.rds', exposure='mobile')
class(b1) == class(b2)
# we can even omit the arguments now (though thats not really the point here)
b3 = osem_boxes_offline('mobileboxes.rds')
nrow(b1) == nrow(b3)
# verify that the custom sensebox methods are still working
summary(b2)
plot(b3)
```{r cleanup, include=FALSE}
file.remove('measurements.json', 'measurements_bad.json')
```
To re-download the data, just clear the files that were created in the process:
```{r cleanup, results='hide'}
file.remove('mobileboxes.rds', 'boxes_bad.json', 'boxes.json', 'measurements.rds')
```
A possible extension to this scheme comes to mind: Omit the specification of a
filename, and assign a unique ID to the request instead.
For example, one could calculate the SHA-1 hash of the parameters, and use it
as filename.
