Fetches the variable, after which variable$properties will contain a named list with entries corresponding to the properties on the variable resource definition. Will raise an error if the variable does not exist.

Parameters:

wait_for_statistics : bool, default FALSE If True, will wait for summary statistics on the variable to be fully populated before returning.

Examples:

table <- redivis$organization("Demo")$dataset("iris_species")$table("iris")

variable <- table$variable("sepalLengthCm")

variable$exists() # -> TRUE
variable$get(wait_for_statistics=TRUE) 

print(variable$properties)
