In prabhasp/formhub.R: formhub.R -- pulling data from formhub.org repositories easily.

Description

formhub Objects have some data, as well as the form, which documents how the data was obtained through a survey. The data, by default, is represented by slugs, ie, items in the 'name' column in the original xfrom. This function replaces slugs in the header with actual question text, and replaces slugs in select one options with the actual resposne text.

Usage

replaceAllNamesWithLabels(formhubDataObj, language = NULL)

Arguments

formhubDataObj	is the formhub data object whose data slot will be renamed
language	if this is a multi-lingual form, the language of choice for the labels should be passed in. For single-language forms language=NULL.

Value

a new data frames with the column names, as well as factor values, renamed from 'name's (slugs) to 'label's(full questions)

Examples

good_eats <- formhubDownload("good_eats", "mberg")
names(good_eats) # still slugged names
summary(good_eats$rating)
good_eats_readable <- replaceAllNamesWithLabels(good_eats)
names(good_eats_readable) # not slugged anymore
summary(good_eats_readable$`Risk Factor`) # not slugged anymore.
