New way to set base urls in ckanr

Installation, loading

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/ckanr")
library("ckanr")

Usage

The default base url can be retrieved with:

get_ckanr_url()
#> [1] "http://data.nhm.ac.uk"

You can change the base url for the session (this isn't preserved across R sessions) by

set_ckanr_url("http://data.nhm.ac.uk")

Now check to see that it's changed

get_ckanr_url()
#> [1] "http://data.nhm.ac.uk"

You can still set the url in each function call if you want via the url parameter.
