Get some simple stats on Fingertips

[julianflowers]

Could we add a simple function to extract basic stats on number of profiles/ indicators etc. Janine Dellar wanted these stats and they maybe useful for anyone who wants to know how much there is in Fingertips

`

counts profiles, total published indicators, and distinct indicators in fingertips

fingertips_stats <- function(){

cat("This may take a few moments... ")

require(glue, quietly = TRUE)
require(fingertipsR, quietly = TRUE)

profiles_n <- length(unique(profiles()$ProfileName))
indicatorid_n <- length(unique(indicators()$IndicatorID))
indicators_n <- length(indicators()$IndicatorID)

result <- glue(

"On ",  {format(Sys.Date(), "%d/%m/%Y")}, " Fingertips consisted of ",  {profiles_n},  " profiles, ",
{indicators_n},  " indicators and ", {indicatorid_n}, " distinct indicators."

)

result
}
`

gives
This may take a few moments... On 02/01/2018 Fingertips consisted of 73 profiles, 4559 indicators and 1647 distinct indicators.

Could I do this via a pull request?

Yes, can do. I'd prefer to use paste instead of glue as this reduces dependencies on other packages (see comment on predict_indicator() re: rOpenSci.

Otherwise, I can do this for you later today or tomorrow. Let me know if you'd like to do a pull request as practise?

[julianflowers]

Agreed Never done a pull request so yes be good practice - can you guide me through it
