Build out data import to include alternate THREDDS servers #2
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now, REMORA is configured to only pull data from IMOS sources. Many URLs have been hard-coded into the functions to support this. This limits REMORA's usability outside of IMOS.
Describe the solution you'd like
We'd like to build onto REMORA's existing functionality to allow it to pull from other THREDDS servers containing similarly formatted data. Much of the functionality for pulling from THREDDS servers already exists, so the bulk of the work will be in stripping out the hard-coded components and making them more modular. This is mostly done in build_urls.R (based on a preliminary investigation). At this time, the proposed solution is to create an alternative build_urls.R file (named differently) that can be called based on a parameter or different function name. This will allow us to build the functionality and test it without running the risk of breaking what is already implemented. When that is done we can keep the files separate or integrate build_urls.R into a single, modular function, depending on time and effort factors.
