To make the easiest possible transition from spreadsheet/dataset to REDCap, I have created a small app, which adds a graphical interface to the casting of a data dictionary and data upload. Install the package and launch the app as follows:

```{r eval=FALSE}
REDCapCAST::shiny_cast()
```

The app primarily wraps one function: `ds2dd_detailed()`.

```{r}
REDCap_split(
    records = redcapcast_data,
    metadata = redcapcast_meta,
    forms = "all"
  ) |> 
  sanitize_split() |> 
  redcap_wider() |> 
  ds2dd_detailed()|>  
  purrr::pluck("data") |> 
  readr::type_convert( 
      col_types = readr::cols(.default = readr::col_guess()))
```


```{r}
redcapcast_data |> 
  dplyr::mutate(dplyr::across(dplyr::everything(),as.character)) |>  
  readr::type_convert( 
      col_types = readr::cols(.default = readr::col_guess()))
```
