Overview

About

Maintained by Richard HannaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Convert 'REDCap' exports into tidy tables for easy handling of 'REDCap' repeat instruments and event arms.

Changes in 1.2.5

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where write_redcap_xlsx() could fail on REDCap forms with long form labels (discovered and fix suggested by @pbchase)
Fixed a bug where read_redcap() failed with raw_or_label = "haven" when a form contains no data (discovered by @mrkskk).
Exposed col_types param from REDCapR to allow for manual specification of expected data type outputs
Added additional validation warnings to alert users when parsed R data types conflict with data types in REDCap metadata.
Exposed datetime_range_begin and datetime_range_end params from REDCapR in read_redcap() to support date-bounded record exports

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("REDCapTidieR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("CHOP-CGTInformatics/REDCapTidieR")

Development version from CHOP-CGTInformatics/REDCapTidieR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-redcaptidier

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-REDCapTidieR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-REDCapTidieR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
