to.nda: Create NDA Submission Template

In wizaRdry: A Magical Framework for Collaborative & Reproducible Data Analysis

Create NDA Submission Template

Description

This function creates a CSV template file for National Data Archive (NDA) submissions. It extracts the data from a specified data frame and formats it according to NDA requirements, with the structure name split into base name and suffix in the first line. The function will prompt for confirmation before creating the file, with an option to remember the user's preference for future calls.

Usage

to.nda(df, path = ".", skip_prompt = FALSE)

Arguments

df	Data frame to be used as template or character string naming a data frame in the global environment.
path	Character string specifying the directory path where the "tmp" folder and template file should be created. Defaults to the current working directory.
skip_prompt	Logical. If TRUE, skips the confirmation prompt. If FALSE (default), will prompt for confirmation unless the user has previously chosen to remember their preference.

Details

The function will:

1. Create a 'tmp' directory if it doesn't exist

2. Parse the structure name into base and suffix components (e.g., "eefrt01" → "eefrt" and "01")

3. Write the structure name components as the first line

4. Write column headers as the second line

5. Write the data rows below

Value

Invisible TRUE if successful. Creates a CSV file at the specified path and prints a message with the file location.

Examples

## Not run: 
  # First create some sample data
  eefrt01 <- data.frame(
    src_subject_id = c("SUB001", "SUB002"),
    interview_age = c(240, 360),
    interview_date = c("01/01/2023", "02/15/2023"),
    response_time = c(450, 520)
  )
  
  # Create the NDA template using the data frame directly
  to.nda(eefrt01)
  
  # Or using the name as a string
  to.nda("eefrt01")
  
  # Skip the confirmation prompt
  to.nda(eefrt01, skip_prompt = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
