Get Data Releases for a Specific Date — get_releases_by

Filters the input dataset to return the releases corresponding to a specific time period (date).

Usage

get_releases_by_date(df, date)

Arguments

df: A data frame containing data vintages. The data frame must include the columns pub_date (publication date of the release) and time (the corresponding time period for the data).
date: A Date object specifying the time period (date) for which releases should be retrieved.

Value

A data frame containing the releases for the specified date. The returned data frame will include the same structure as the input, filtered to only include rows matching the date in the time column.

Details

This function filters the input data based on the specified date in the time column. The input dataset must have the pub_date and time columns, with time being the period to match against the given date. If the dataset is in wide format, it will first be transformed into long format using the helper function vintages_long.

Examples

# Example data
df <- dplyr::filter(reviser::gdp, id=="US")

# Get releases for a specific date
date <- as.Date("2020-04-01")
releases_on_date <- get_releases_by_date(df, date)
