# REDCapCAST package <img src="man/figures/logo.png" align="right" />
REDCap Castellated data handling when using repeated instruments.
REDCap database casting and handling of castellated data when using repeated instruments and longitudinal projects.
This package is a fork of [pegeler/REDCapRITS](https://github.com/pegeler/REDCapRITS). The REDCapRITS represents great and extensive work to handle castellated REDCap data in different programming languages. This fork is purely minded on R usage and includes a few implementations of the main `REDCap_split` function.
The main goal for this project was to allow for a "minimal data" approach by allowing to filter records, instruments and variables in the export to only download data needed. I think this approach is desireable for handling sensitive, clinical data. No similar functionality is available from similar tools (like `REDCapR` or `REDCapTidieR`). Please refer to [REDCap-Tools](https://redcap-tools.github.io/) for other great tools.
THis package is very much to be seen as an attempt at a REDCap-R foundry for handling both the transition from dataset/variable list to database and the other way, from REDCap database to a tidy dataset. The goal was also to allow for a "minimal data" approach by allowing to filter records, instruments and variables in the export to only download data needed. I think this approach is desireable for handling sensitive, clinical data. No similar functionality is available from similar tools (like `REDCapR` or `REDCapTidieR`).

* `easy_redcap()`: combines secure API key storage with the `keyring`-package, focused data retrieval and optional widening. This is the recommended approach for easy data access and analysis.
Compared to the original `REDCapRITS`, all matching functions are improved to accept column naming of REDCap data from manual download or API export.
