REDCapTidieR 1.2.0 (development version)

  • Added combine_checkboxes() analytics function
    • Use combine_checkboxes() to consolidate multiple checkbox fields in a REDCap data tibble under a single column
  • Fixed a bug for mixed structure databases resulting in data loss when some fields had dual repeating-separately/repeating-together behavior
  • Various improvements and additions with CRAN release of REDCapR 1.2.0:
    • event_name added as a column to the redcap_event column of longitudinal supertibbles
    • guess_max parameter in read_redcap() default updated to Inf

REDCapTidieR 1.1.1

Version 1.1.1 (Released 2024-04-18)

  • read_redcap(raw_or_label = "haven") now correctly casts categorical data values to character when their type is not character or numeric.

REDCapTidieR 1.1.0

Version 1.1.0 (Released 2024-03-28)

  • read_redcap() now supports instruments that follow a mixed repeating/non-repeating structure with the allow_mixed_structure parameter
  • Mixed structure instruments (those with both repeating and nonrepeating elements) can be supported by setting allow_mixed_structure to TRUE or getOption("redcaptidier.allow.mixed.structure", FALSE).
    • When allowed, nonrepeating elements of mixed structure instruments will be treated as repeating elements with a single instance.
  • Missing data codes from REDCap additional customization settings are now handled. Non-logical values are converted to NA in yesno, truefalse, and checkbox fields with a warning.
    • Warnings for MDCs can be silenced with options(redcaptidier.allow.mdc = TRUE).
  • raw_or_label now accepts "haven" as an option, converting categorical fields to haven_labelled vectors instead of factors.
  • A new metadata column, form_complete_pct, is now available when viewing the supertibble showing the percentage of a given instrument that has a form status marked as "Complete" (green)
  • Fixed a bug causing supertibble labels to not print correctly

Version 1.0.0 (Released 2023-11-28)

This package has been considered stable for months now with no new issues reported, and so should be reflected in the major version number.

Minor Updates

  • Updated openxlsx2 API calls to coincide with v1.0
  • Internal cleaning and tidying of documentation
  • pkgdown site updates
  • Migration of some vignettes over to articles

Version 0.4.1 (Released 2023-08-15)

Miscellaneous

  • Updated test suite to be compatible with REDCapR 1.2.0

Version 0.4.0 (Released 2023-06-02)

New Features

  • Introduces new functions add_skimr_metadata() and write_redcap_xlsx() with supporting documentation
  • read_redcap() now supports Data Access Groups (DAGs)
    • New argument available to read_redcap(): export_data_access_groups

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where REDCapR API error messages weren't being returned from REDCapTidieR

Miscellaneous

  • All deprecated functions have been officially retired and removed from the package

Version 0.3.0 (Released 2023-03-17)

New Features

  • read_redcap() now supports projects with repeating events which introduced a breaking change to data tibble column names
    • redcap_repeat_instance is now redcap_form_instance
    • redcap_event_instance has been added to denote repeating events

Performance Improvements and Enhancements

  • Improved error message suite:
    • Helpful error message provided for various conditions related to REDCap API calls
    • Helpful error messages added for checks across all exported functions
    • Unexpected error messages provided with direction to submitting bug reports
      • Improved error messages for label parsing
    • Added select_choices_and_calculations exported by the REDCap API to redcap_metadata tibble
  • Improved process for adding/updating httptest mocks

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the suppress_redcapr_messages argument for read_redcap() was not working appropriately
  • Fixed a bug where read_redcap() would fail when select_choices_and_calculations was missing whitespace after commas (discovered by @camcaan)
  • Fixed a bug where read_redcap() would fail for projects with a multiple choice field having duplicate values with the same label
    • Added a warning when REDCapTidieR detects this
  • Fixed a bug where empty rows would appear in data tibbles in longitudinal REDCap exports for events containing a mix of empty and filled forms
  • Fixed a bug where the forms specification in read_redcap() may lead to incorrect removal of data for databases with repeating events

Version 0.2.0 (Released 2022-12-07)

New Features

  • Function name changes:
    • read_redcap_tidy() is now read_redcap()
    • extract_table() is now extract_tibble()
    • extract_tables() is now extract_tibbles()
    • bind_table() is now bind_tibbles()
      • All old functions are still supported and throw a deprecation warning
  • Instrument/form-level metadata included in supertibble output:
    • redcap_form_label: The instrument’s human-readable label
    • redcap_metadata: REDCap metadata associated with the instrument (derived from REDCapR::redcap_metadata_read())
    • redcap_events: Events and arms associated with this instrument (for longitudinal projects only)
    • data_rows, data_cols: Row and column counts of redcap_data
    • data_size: Size of the redcap_data tibble in memory
    • data_na_pct: The percentage of missing data in the redcap_data tibble
  • New make_labelled() function that attaches variable labels using the labelled package
  • New arguments available read_redcap():
    • forms: Allows reading specific instruments instead of the whole project
    • export_survey_fields: Allows for export of redcap_survey_timestamp and redcap_survey_identifier columns from survey-enabled REDCap instruments (TRUE by default)

Performance Improvements and Enhancements

  • Improved execution time by >2.5X by optimizing internal functions check_repeat_and_nonrepeat(), distill_*_table_long(), and multi_choice_to_labels()
  • New informative warning and error messages, now rendered using the cli package
  • Tests and vignettes now use httptest to mock and cache REDCap API calls
  • Implemented GitHub Actions link check
  • Replaced deprecated .data pronoun in tidyselect expressions

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug in which similarly named variables could be duplicated under some circumstances
  • Order of instruments in the supertibble is now the same as the order of instruments in REDCap
  • Fixed an issue in which extract_*() functions under some circumstances returned NULL instead of the expected tibbles
