This class provides an interface for games, expansions,
accessories and other things listed on BoardGameGeek. The official
documentation describes `things` as every physical, tangible item.See
bggAPI for more details on inherited slots and methods.
bggAnalytics::bggAPI -> bggGames
new()Object initialization.
bggGames$new(ids, chunk_size = 500, params = NULL)idsa numeric vector of positive integers, IDs of games/things to include in the object.
chunk_sizea positive integer, the maximum length of a chunk that
ids are split into. All chunks connect to BoardGameGeek's API
separately, so lowering this number increases computation time. On the
other hand if a chunk is too long, URL might be too long to fetch.
paramsa list of object parameters. If not all the parameters are
included in the list, default values are used (NULL instead of
the list is possible for all the default parameters).
Following parameters are allowed for the bggGames class with
default values in parentheses:
pretty_names - (FALSE) a boolean value,
should the object should use pretty names,
stats - (TRUE) a boolean value, should the
ranking and rating stats be included for every item. Note that some
variables require that stats is TRUE.
clone()The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.
bggGames$clone(deep = FALSE)deepWhether to make a deep clone.
Although this class is named `bggGames`, it inherits it's functionality from the BoardGameGeek XML API2 `Things` (see References). The name is motivated by the fact that the whole BoardGameGeek's site as well as this package is mainly focused on board games.
