GenerateCodeForDataEntryValidation: Autogenerate code for error reporting

In Maglado/redcapdata_p: Data management utility support for REDCap repositories

Description

This is a utility function that employs code generation to produce R code that validates data entry workflow for errors of omission and commision.

Usage

generate_data_validation_code(metadata, date_var, hosp_var, custom_code = NA,
  updates = NULL, updates_envir_depth = 1)

Arguments

metadata	REDCap metadata
date_var	Name of variable that captures the date of entry
hosp_var	Name of variable that holds the hospital code
custom_code	Any code that is appended for custom plugin of special validation checks.
updates	Name of a list of RedcapUpdate(s) to be used for plugging functionality that abstracts the introduction of new variables during the projects lifecycle. See RedcapUpdate
updates_envir_depth	Integer of what parent frame contains updates. Default is immediate parent of calling environment (1) ie one level deep.

Details

Using the redcap metadata, code is generated that validates data entry during the data capture process.

This code is then evaluated into a function that is then iterated through the records to check for errors during data capture.

The result is a dataset containing the resultant errors.

Value

A function that can be evaluated to validate data entry workflow for a single record.
