safelist-class: Format for SAFE archive lists

Description

safelist is a format thought to manage lists of SAFE Sentinel.2 archives. It is a named character in which names are SAFE codes (e.g. S2A_MSIL2A_20170507T102031_N0205_R065_T32TNR_20170507T102319.SAFE), and values are URLs used to retrieve them from ESA API Hub (e.g. https://scihub.copernicus.eu/apihub/odata/v1/Products('a4a026c0-db7b-4ba8-9b09-53027ab0d7ab')/$value). Some attributes may be included, basically information retrieved by function s2_list containing product metadata. Moreover, the attribute online (retrieved by function safe_is_online may contain logical values (TRUE for products available for download, FALSE for products stored in the Long Term Archive).

The class can be generated as an output of function s2_list, or converting named characters (with the same structures), data.frames or data.tables (including the columns name and url) using as (see examples). Objects of class safelist can be converted to named character, data.frames or data.tables (see examples). The conversion to data.frame / data.table is useful for reading hidden attributes.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pos <- sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(c(9.85,45.81)), crs = 4326)
time_window <- as.Date(c("2017-05-01", "2017-05-31"))

## Create an object of class safelist
list_safe <- s2_list(spatial_extent = pos, time_interval = time_window)
list_safe
class(list_safe)
attr(list_safe, "sensing_datetime") # extract an hidden attribute from a safelist

## Convert to other classes
(s2_char <- as.character(list_safe)) # convert to a simple named character
(s2_df <- as.data.frame(list_safe)) # convert to a data.frame
library(data.table); (s2_dt <- as.data.table(list_safe)) # convert to a data.table

## Convert from other classes
as(s2_char, "safelist") # this causes the loss of hidden attributes
as(s2_df, "safelist") # this maintains attributes as columns
# }
