URL for neiss data in chapter 5

[rahsan78]

hi,
To access the neiss data in chapter 5 the following URL is in the book as well as online version of the book.
given url : https://github.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/raw/master/neiss/

however this throws a 404 error. I can see there has been some changes in the branch. I have used the following and able to download the files.

url used : https://github.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/blob/main/neiss/

may be worth in changing the URL at lease on the online version of the book ?

regards

Totally agree @rahsan78

In my case (Chapter 4), I had to use

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/main/neiss/

So, the function then looks like this

download <- function(name) {
  # url <- "https://github.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/raw/master/neiss/"
  url <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/main/neiss/"
  download.file(paste0(url, name), paste0("neiss/", name), quiet = TRUE)
}

I commented out the url stated in the online version of the book for emphasis.
