xportr 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2023-06-21

New Features and Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where xportr_type() would overwrite column labels, widths, and “sas.formats”
  • Fixed messaging of xportr_order()to give better visibility of the number of variables being reordered.
  • Add new argument to xportr_write() to allow users to specify how xpt validation checks are handled.
  • Fixed bug where character_types were case sensitive. They are now case insensitive (#77).
  • Updated xportr_type() to make type coercion more explicit.
  • xpt_validate updated to accept iso8601 date formats. (#76)
  • Added function xportr_metadata() to explicitly set metadata at the start of a pipeline (#44)
  • Metadata order columns are now coerced to numeric by default in xportr_order() to prevent character sorting (#149)
  • Message is shown on xportr_* functions when the metadata being used has multiple variables with the same name in the same domain (#128)
  • Fixed an issue with xport_type() where DT, DTM variables with a format specified in the metadata (e.g. date9., datetime20.) were being converted to numeric, which will cause a 10 year difference when reading it back by read_xpt(). SAS’s uniform start date is 1960 whereas Linux’s uniform start date is 1970 (#142).
  • Fixed an issue with R’s pipe |> that was causing functions to abort (#97)
  • Removed < and > as illegal characters in variable and dataset labels (#98)

Documentation

  • Moved pkgdown site to bootswatch. Enabled search and linked slack icon (#122).
  • Additional Deep Dive vignette showcasing functions and quality of life utilities for processing xpts created (#84)
  • Get Started vignette spruced up. Messages are now displayed and link to Deep Dive vignette (#150)
  • Increase test coverage to 100% (#82)
