Overview

About

Maintained by Sergio Ewane EboueleCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A tool developed with the 'Golem' framework which provides an easier way to check cells differences between two data frames. The user provides two data frames for comparison, selects IDs variables identifying each row of input data, then clicks a button to perform the comparison. Several 'R' package functions are used to describe the data and perform the comparison in the server of the application. The main ones are comparedf() from 'arsenal' and skim() from 'skimr'. For more details see the description of comparedf() from the 'arsenal' package and that of skim() from the 'skimr' package.

Changes in 1.0.5

Fixed bug which violates the CRAN Policy's
“Packages should not write in the user’s home filespace (including

clipboards), nor anywhere else on the file system apart from the R

session’s temporary directory (or during installation in the location

pointed to by TMPDIR: and such usage should be cleaned up).”

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("dataCompare", 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("seewe/dataCompare")

Development version from seewe/dataCompare. 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-datacompare

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-dataCompare

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-dataCompare

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.
