metatools 0.2.0

  • Functions now require a subsetted metacore object to be used i.e., created via metacore::select_dataset().
  • create_cat_var() now allows the new variable to be create using the decode part of the codelist as a label.(#82)
  • create_var_from_codelist() now allows the user to specify a codelist to use to create the new variables. (#83)
  • check_variables() now provides a strict option that issues warnings rather than errors when FALSE. (#86)
  • combine_supp() now adds labels from the “QLABEL” (#71)
  • combine_supp() no longer creates an “IDVARVAL” column (#78)
  • Improved error reporting for create_cat_var, create_var_from_codelist, and check_variables.
  • The dataset_name argument has been deprecated in various functions.
  • The make_lone_dataset function has been deprecated.

metatools 0.1.6

CRAN release: 2024-07-23

  • Breaking change: combine_supp() requires that the QNAM columns are not in the source dataset (#64)
  • Breaking change: build_from_derived() no longer requires all datasets with predecessors, but can run on a single dataset or multiple. It will also now accept unnamed datasets.
  • combine_supp() now allows multiple QNAM values to go to the same IDVAR (#63)
  • Allow supp data to be zero-row with combine_supp() (#45)
  • Enhance check_ct_data() so that na_acceptable can now accept a vector of variables. Also add new argument omit_vars to control if any variables should be skipped when doing controlled terminology checks (#57)
  • Add check_unique_keys() to check the uniqueness of records in the dataset by variable keys (#52)
  • Correct the description of build_from_derived() predecessor_only parameter

metatools 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2023-02-13

  • correct bug with combine_supp() when the data and the supp have white space. Now it will be trimmed before attempting to merge
  • Updates made to work with the newest version of dplyr

metatools 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2022-10-06

  • correct bug with build_from_derived() that prevented multiple from being combined
  • removed library calls from tests
  • remove floating_pt_correction from combine_supp() as it is best to never change the type of the main dataset
  • Add a message to drop_unspec_vars to explain which variables are dropped
  • Correct bug in order_cols, so it will still work when not all columns are present

metatools 0.1.2

  • correct bug with combine_supp() when the data and the supp have different classes for the IDVARVAL
  • add error to combine_supp() to report when not all the rows in the supp have merged
  • add floating_pt_correction argument to combine_supp() used for when there are floating point errors with IDVARVAL

metatools 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2022-04-20

  • Based on tester feedback, remove any row in supplemental qualifiers that are empty and rearranged the columns
