osm_update_object: Update an OSM object

Description

Updates data from a preexisting element.

Usage

osm_update_object(x, changeset_id)

Value

Returns the new version number of the object.

Arguments

x

The new object data. Can be the path of an xml file, a xml2::xml_document or a data.frame inheriting or following the structure of an osmapi_objects object.

changeset_id

The ID of an open changeset where to create the object. If missing, x should define the changeset ID, otherwise it will be overwritten with changeset_id. Ignored if x is a path.

Details

A full representation of the element as it should be after the update has to be provided. Any tags, way-node refs, and relation members that remain unchanged must be in the update as well. A version number must be provided as well, it must match the current version of the element in the database.

If x is a data.frame, the columns type, id, visible, version, changeset, and tags must be present + column members for ways and relations + lat and lon for nodes. For the xml format, see the OSM wiki.

If multiple elements are provided only the first is updated. The rest is discarded.
