tabshiftr 0.6.0 - comprehensive error handling and interactive schema builder

  • new function schema_builder(): an interactive Shiny app that guides users through building a schema description step by step, with a live grid preview and code download
  • all setter functions (setIDVar, setObsVar, setCluster, setFilter, setFormat, setGroups) now emit explicit, instructive error or warning messages for every detectable misspecification, replacing opaque checkmate assertions and cryptic downstream crashes
  • validateSchema() now catches a further 23 schema problems before reorganise() is called, covering missing variables, out-of-bounds column/row references, incoherent cluster and key/value specifications, and contradictory argument combinations
  • validateInput() gains @details and @examples documentation

tabshiftr 0.5.1

  • reinclude inverting a filter on rows.

tabshiftr 0.5.0 - variable types

  • include the possibility to specify variable data type, which will result in a column of that type
  • include header into setFormat() again, which enables providing tables where the column names are in the header, where they will be spliced into the table.

tabshiftr 0.4.2

  • include split and merge functionality for cluster ID.

tabshiftr 0.4.12023-01-31

  • adapt to update of dplyr

tabshiftr 0.4.0 - grouping update2022-09-28

  • introduction of the function setGroups(), which allows to summarize columns and/or rows according to a function. The positions and summarise function here are provided via the new function .sum().
  • now each getter ensures that it only gets things from an already validated schema.
  • for filter and group slots of a schema there is now a new way implemented for storing locations. Each location statement is now a list that contains either find, group or position parameters.

tabshiftr 0.3.9

  • allow several filters to be applied in a separate function and thus for separate columns.
  • allow filtering on columns

tabshiftr 0.3.8

  • allow .finding based on several character strings (that can themselves be regular expressions).

tabshiftr 0.3.7

  • implement code so that duplicated observations in the input table are by default summarized (with a warning)

tabshiftr 0.3.6

  • fix a bug that would not allow to register of two wide identifying variables first the wider, then the narrower wide identifying variable.

tabshiftr 0.3.5

  • fix a bug that would not allow tables that have only one row and implicit variables to be properly reorganized.

tabshiftr 0.3.4

  • incl. handling of flags (character additions to the numeric values of observed variables), which are now extracted into an ancillary column.

tabshiftr 0.3.3

  • fix a bug where the header was not properly recognized when using setFilter().

tabshiftr 0.3.22022-01-13

  • be more precise in using tidyr
  • revising some text here and there
  • other minor fixes

tabshiftr 0.3.1

  • various minor bugfixes
  • minor reorganization of the internal workings

tabshiftr 0.3.0 - getters update2021-07-01

  • introduction of getters that fulfill two functions: 1) check up on the schema one is currently building, 2) internal use to streamline the code-base
  • less cryptic naming of the example files that they can be understood without much explanation
  • complete revisit of the code-base
  • removal of the function setHeader(), as these information are now automatically extracted from the functions
  • renaming of the argument row = in setObsVar() to top =, because this is represents a clearer meaning of what this argument describes
  • .find() now also allows functions that evaluate to TRUE/FALSE
  • add a column specifier to .find().

tabshiftr 0.2.6

  • properly enable use of functions in .find via several bug-fixes

tabshiftr 0.2.5

  • internal updates/bug-fixes

tabshiftr 0.2.4

  • new function setFilter to provide which columns/rows should be ignored by a schema.
  • handling of relative positions was changed internally to simplify the code.

tabshiftr 0.2.3

  • generalise find_col and find_row to .find and handle it based on the context it’s called in.
  • include the option to specify clusters that are members of irregular groups of clusters associated to a variable that shall be recorded itself, setCluster(..., group = "grouping_variable", member = c(1, 1, 2, ...)).

tabshiftr 0.2.2

  • include functions find_col and find_row to determine columns and rows "on the fly"

tabshiftr 0.2.1

  • automatically complete id-columns that contain missing values in some rows.
  • automatically remove rows and columns that contain merely NA values.

tabshiftr 0.2.0 - setters update

  • include functions setCluster, setHeader,setFormat, setIDVar and setObsVar for easier schema setup.
  • improved documentation
  • first steps in implementing errors/warnings when setting up a schema that will likely not result in a successful reorganisation

tabshiftr 0.1.4

  • include a control that user-provided “.” as decimal symbol is turned into “[.]” to be used as regular expression.
  • re-enable completion of when values in the header are missing. Values are now completed with their left neighbour, as this is the most frequent use-case when values in the header are omitted.

tabshiftr 0.1.3

  • enable the field ‘merge = character(1)’ for identifying variables, which would be used when a variable is spread over several columns that need to be combined.
