Convenience function that fetches and plots ERVISS SARI rates data in one step. For more control, use get_sari_rates followed by plot_sari_rates.

Usage

quick_plot_sari_rates(
  csv_file = NULL,
  date_min,
  date_max,
  age = "",
  countries = "",
  date_breaks = "2 weeks",
  date_format = "%b %Y",
  use_snapshot = FALSE,
  snapshot_date = NULL
)

Arguments

csv_file

Path to a local CSV file or URL containing the ERVISS data. If NULL (default), data is fetched from the official ERVISS repository.

date_min

Start date of the period (Date object)

date_max

Logical. If TRUE, fetches a historical snapshot; if FALSE (default), fetches the latest data. Ignored if csv_file is provided.

snapshot_date

Date of the snapshot to retrieve. Required if use_snapshot = TRUE and csv_file is NULL.

Value

A ggplot2 object showing SARI rates over time by country and age group

  countries = "Spain",
  date_breaks = "1 month"
