In ctesta01/QualtricsTools: Automating Qualtrics Survey Processing

There are several distinct surveys with sample response data included in the QualtricsTools package repository. The easiest way to access a set of sample data is to pass sample_data=TRUE to get_setup.

library(QualtricsTools)
get_setup(sample_data=TRUE)
ls(envir=globalenv())

Under the covers, the get_setup(sample_data=TRUE) function call is directly loading the sample data saved in Rda files inside the /data/ directory. Don't worry about understanding the construction of the list.files.github function that follows; it's just a tool I'm using to list files from the GitHub repository to show off the data that's included in the repository.

library(httr)

list.files.github <- function(username = 'emmamorgan-tufts', repository = "QualtricsTools") {
    requireNamespace("httr")
    url <- paste0("https://api.github.com/repos/", username, "/", repository, "/git/trees/master?recursive=1", collapse="")
    req <- GET(url)
    stop_for_status(req)
    filelist <- unlist(lapply(content(req)$tree, "[", "path"), use.names = F)
    return(filelist)
}

qualtricstools_files <- list.files.github()
grep("^data/[^/]*$", qualtricstools_files, value = TRUE, perl = TRUE)

However, there is more data contained in the /data directory than just the rda files listed above. "Sample Surveys" listed above is a directory which contains many more sample surveys and response datasets as QSF and CSV files.

# Let's get the directories inside the Sample Surveys folder:
grep("^data/Sample Surveys/[^/]*$", qualtricstools_files, value = TRUE, perl = TRUE)

Each of these surveys and their corresponding response data can be downloaded from either the GitHub repository. Further, some surveys like the "Comment Coding" survey include extra data or extra formatting which are meant to test some of the more subtle features of QualtricsTools. If you clone the repository, then these files will also be available in the /data folder, but if devtools::install_github('emmamorgan-tufts/QualtricsTools') was used to install QualtricsTools, then these sample surveys will not be available in the locally installed version.

list.files( file.path(path.package("QualtricsTools"), "data/"))
