REDCapR (version 0.9.8)

redcap_project: A Reference Class to make later calls to REDCap more convenient.

Description

This Reference Class represents a REDCap project. Once some values are set that are specific to a REDCap project (such as the URI and token), later calls are less verbose (such as reading and writing data). The functionality

Fields

redcap_uri

The URI (uniform resource identifier) of the REDCap project. Required.

token

token The user-specific string that serves as the password for a project. Required.

Methods

read(batch_size = 100L, interbatch_delay = 0, records = NULL, records_collapsed = "", fields = NULL, fields_collapsed = "", export_data_access_groups = FALSE, raw_or_label = "raw", verbose = TRUE, config_options = NULL)

Exports records from a REDCap project.

write(ds_to_write, batch_size = 100L, interbatch_delay = 0, verbose = TRUE, config_options = NULL)

Imports records to a REDCap project.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(REDCapR) #Load the package into the current R session.
uri <- "https://bbmc.ouhsc.edu/redcap/api/"
token <- "D70F9ACD1EDD6F151C6EA78683944E98"
# }
# NOT RUN {
project <- redcap_project$new(redcap_uri=uri, token=token)
ds_all <- project$read()

#Demonstrate how repeated calls are more concise when the token and url aren't always passed.
ds_three_columns <- project$read(fields=c("record_id", "sex", "height"))$data

ids_of_males vv <- ds_three_columns$record_id[ds_three_columns$sex==1]
ids_of_shorties <- ds_three_columns$record_id[ds_three_columns$height < 40]

ds_males        <- project$read(records=ids_of_males, batch_size=2)$data
ds_shorties     <- project$read(records=ids_of_shorties)$data

#Switch the Genders

ds_three_columns$sex <- (1 - ds_three_columns$sex)
project$write(ds_three_columns)

#Switch the Genders back
ds_three_columns$sex <- sex_original
project$write(ds_three_columns)
