In REDCapCAST: REDCap Metadata Casting and Castellated Data Handling

Creates zip-file with necessary content to manually add instrument to database

Description

Metadata can be added by editing the data dictionary of a project in the initial design phase. If you want to later add new instruments, this function can be used to create (an) instrument(s) to add to a project in production.

Usage

export_redcap_instrument(data, file, force = FALSE, record.id = "record_id")

Arguments

data	metadata for the relevant instrument. Could be from 'ds2dd_detailed()'
file	destination file name.
force	force instrument creation and ignore different form names by just using the first.
record.id	record id variable name. Default is 'record_id'.

Value

exports zip-file

Examples

# iris |>
#  ds2dd_detailed(
#    add.auto.id = TRUE,
#    form.name = sample(c("b", "c"), size = 6, replace = TRUE, prob = rep(.5, 2))
#  ) |>
#  purrr::pluck("meta") |>
#  (\(.x){
#  split(.x, .x$form_name)
#  })() |>
#  purrr::imap(function(.x, .i){
#  export_redcap_instrument(.x,file=here::here(paste0(.i,Sys.Date(),".zip")))
#  })
