<ul><li>Dependencies: In order to deploy <code><a href="../reference/shiny_cast.html">shiny_cast()</a></code> with <code>shinylive</code>, I need to remove <code>curl</code> as a dependency. To accomplish this, the <code>shiny_deploy()</code> helper functions has been moved to the package <a href="https://github.com/agdamsbo/package.aid" class="external-link"><code>pacakge.aid</code></a>. This is for a rainy day: <a href="https://r-wasm.github.io/rwasm/" class="external-link uri">https://r-wasm.github.io/rwasm/</a>. The whole shiny part may be migrated to its own project to try to separate things and be easy on dependencies. Time will tell.</li>

<h4 id="functions-24-2-1">Functions<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#functions-24-2-1"></a></h4>
<ul><li><p>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/ds2dd.html">ds2dd()</a></code>: uses correct default dd column names. Will be deprecated.</p></li>
<li><p>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/easy_redcap.html">easy_redcap()</a></code>: fixed to actually allow project naming. also specifically asks for uri. widening updated to work.</p></li>
<li><p>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/redcap_wider.html">redcap_wider()</a></code>: updated to accept more formats and allow handling of simple projects without repeating instruments and not longitudinal.</p></li>
<li><p>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code>: now handles non-longitudinal project without repeatable instruments.</p></li>
<li><p>NEW: <code><a href="../reference/ds2dd_detailed.html">ds2dd_detailed()</a></code>: extension of the <code><a href="../reference/ds2dd.html">ds2dd()</a></code>, which serves to preserve as much metadata as possible automatically. Depends on a group of helper functions also introduced. Of special note is the <code><a href="../reference/guess_time_only_filter.html">guess_time_only_filter()</a></code>, which will try to guess which columns/variables should be formatted as time only formats. Supports hms time format. DETAILED INSTRUCTION AND VIGNETTE IS PENDING.</p></li>
<li><p>NEW: <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_instrument.html">read_redcap_instrument()</a></code>: convenience function to retrieve complete instrument. Goes a little against the focused approach. With <code><a href="https://ouhscbbmc.github.io/REDCapR/reference/redcap_read.html" class="external-link">REDCapR::redcap_read()</a></code> you can specify a form to download. You have to also specify the record id variable though. This is done for you with <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_instrument.html">read_redcap_instrument()</a></code>. Nothing fancy.</p></li>
<li><p>NEW: <code><a href="../reference/shiny_cast.html">shiny_cast()</a></code>: <a href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/shiny/" class="external-link">Shiny</a> application to ease the process of converting a spreadsheet/data set to a REDCap database. The app runs locally and data is transferred securely. You can just create and upload the data dictionary, but you can also transfer the given data in the same process. I plan to host the app with shinyapps.io, but for now you can run it locally.</p></li>

<p>I believe <code>renv</code> has now been added and runs correctly. After clone, do <code><a href="https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/restore.html" class="external-link">renv::restore()</a></code> to install all necessary package to modify the package. This seems to always be back and forth. <code>renv</code> may be on its way out again.</p>
<p>Added a Code of Conduct.</p>

<ul><li>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code>: checking form names based on data dictionary to allow handling of non-longitudinal projects. Prints invalid form names and invalid event names. If invalid form names are supplied to <code><a href="https://ouhscbbmc.github.io/REDCapR/reference/redcap_read.html" class="external-link">REDCapR::redcap_read()</a></code> (which is the backbone), all forms are exported, which is not what we want with a focused approach. Invalid event names will give an output with a rather peculiar formatting. Checking of field names validity is also added.</li>

<ul><li>New: <code><a href="../reference/easy_redcap.html">easy_redcap()</a></code> function to ease the retrieval of a dataset with <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code> with <code>keyring</code>-package based key storage, which handles secure API set, storage and retrieval. Relies on a small helper function, <code><a href="../reference/get_api_key.html">get_api_key()</a></code>, which wraps relevant <code>keyring</code>-functions. Includes option to cast the data in a wide format with flag <code>widen.data</code>.</li>
<li>Fix: <code><a href="../reference/REDCap_split.html">REDCap_split()</a></code>: when using this function on its own, supplying a data set with check boxes would fail if metadata is supplied as a tibble. Metadata is now converted to data.frame. Fixed.</li>

<li><p>New: <code><a href="../reference/strsplitx.html">strsplitx()</a></code> function to ease the string splitting as an extension of <code><a href="https://rdrr.io/r/base/strsplit.html" class="external-link">base::strsplit()</a></code>.

<li><p>New: <code>d2n()</code> function converts single digits to written numbers. Used to sanitize variable and form names in REDCap database creation. For more universal number to word I would suggest <code>english::word()</code> or <code><a href="https://rdrr.io/pkg/xfun/man/numbers_to_words.html" class="external-link">xfun::numbers_to_words()</a></code>, though I have not been testing these.</p></li>

<p>To reflect new functions and the limitation to only working in R, I have changed the naming of the fork, while still, of course, maintaining the status as a fork.</p>
<p>The versioning has moved to a monthly naming convention.</p>
<p>The main goal this package is to keep the option to only export a defined subset of the whole dataset from the REDCap server as is made possible through the <code><a href="https://ouhscbbmc.github.io/REDCapR/reference/redcap_read.html" class="external-link">REDCapR::redcap_read()</a></code> function, and combine it with the work put into the REDCapRITS package and the handling of longitudinal projects and/or projects with repeated instruments.</p>

<ul><li><p><code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code> <strong>NEW</strong>: this function is mainly an implementation of the combined use of <code>REDCapR::readcap_read()</code> and <code><a href="../reference/REDCap_split.html">REDCap_split()</a></code> to maintain the focused nature of <code>REDCapR::readcap_read()</code>, to only download the specified data. Also implements tests of valid form names and event names. The usual fall-back solution was to get all data.</p></li>
<li><p><code><a href="../reference/redcap_wider.html">redcap_wider()</a></code> <strong>NEW</strong>: this function pivots the long data frames from <code><a href="../reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code> using <code><a href="https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/reference/pivot_wider.html" class="external-link">tidyr::pivot_wider()</a></code>.</p></li>
