R Documentation

List changes to one Entity.

Description

Usage

entity_changes(
  pid = get_default_pid(),
  did = "",
  eid = "",
  url = get_default_url(),
  un = get_default_un(),
  pw = get_default_pw(),
  retries = get_retries(),
  odkc_version = get_default_odkc_version(),
  orders = get_default_orders(),
  tz = get_default_tz()
)

Arguments

`pid`	The numeric ID of the project, e.g.: 2. Default: `get_default_pid`. Set default `pid` through `ru_setup(pid="...")`. See `vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK")`.
`did`	(chr) The name of the Entity List, internally called Dataset. The function will error if this parameter is not given. Default: "".
`eid`	(chr) The UUID of an Entity, which can be retrieved by `entity_list()`. The function will error if this parameter is not given. Default: "".
`url`	The ODK Central base URL without trailing slash. Default: `get_default_url`. Set default `url` through `ru_setup(url="...")`. See `vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK")`.
`un`	The ODK Central username (an email address). Default: `get_default_un`. Set default `un` through `ru_setup(un="...")`. See `vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK")`.
`pw`	The ODK Central password. Default: `get_default_pw`. Set default `pw` through `ru_setup(pw="...")`. See `vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK")`.
`retries`	The number of attempts to retrieve a web resource. This parameter is given to `RETRY(times = retries)`. Default: 3.
`odkc_version`	The ODK Central version as a semantic version string (year.minor.patch), e.g. "2023.5.1". The version is shown on ODK Central's version page `⁠/version.txt⁠`. Discard the "v". `ruODK` uses this parameter to adjust for breaking changes in ODK Central. Default: `get_default_odkc_version` or "2023.5.1" if unset. Set default `get_default_odkc_version` through `ru_setup(odkc_version="2023.5.1")`. See `vignette("Setup", package = "ruODK")`.
`orders`	(vector of character) Orders of datetime elements for lubridate. Default: `c("YmdHMS", "YmdHMSz", "Ymd HMS", "Ymd HMSz", "Ymd", "ymd")`.
`tz`	A timezone to convert dates and times to. Read `vignette("setup", package = "ruODK")` to learn how `ruODK`'s timezone can be set globally or per function.

Details

This returns the changes, or edits, between different versions of an Entity. These changes are returned as a list of lists. Between two Entities, there is a list of objects representing how each property changed. This change object contains the old and new values, as well as the property name.

Value

A tibble where rows correspond to each Entity update with three columns:

old old value
new new value
propertyName name of changed entity property

Examples

## Not run: 
# See vignette("setup") for setup and authentication options
# ruODK::ru_setup(svc = "....svc", un = "me@email.com", pw = "...")

el <- entitylist_list()

# Entity List name (dataset ID, did)
did <- el$name[1]

# All Entities of Entity List
en <- entity_list(did = did)

ed <- entity_detail(did = did, eid = en$uuid[1])

e_label <- ed$current_version$label

# This example updates one field which exists in the example form.
# Your own Entity will have different fields to update.
e_data <- list(
  details = paste0(
    ed$current_version$data$details, ". Updated on ", Sys.time()
  )
)

# Update the Entity (implicitly forced update)
eu <- entity_update(
  did = did,
  eid = en$uuid[1],
  label = e_label,
  data = e_data
)

ec <- entity_changes(did = did, eid = en$uuid[1])
ec

## End(Not run)
