@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ To reflect new functions and the limitation to only working in R, I have changed
The versioning has moved to a monthly naming convention.
The main goal this package is to keep the option to only export a defined subset of the whole dataset from the REDCap server as is made possible through the `REDCapR::redcap_read()` function, and combine it with the work put into the REDCapRITS package and the handling of longitudinal projects and/or projects with repeated instruments.
### Functions:
* `read_redcap_tables()` **NEW**: this function is mainly an implementation of the combined use of `REDCapR::readcap_read()` and `REDCap_split()` to maintain the focused nature of `REDCapR::readcap_read()`, to only download the specified data. Also implements tests of valid form names and event names. The usual fall-back solution was to get all data.

* `redcap_wider()` **NEW**: this function pivots the long data frames from `read_redcap_tables()` using `tidyr::pivot_wider()`.
* `focused_metadata()` **NEW**: a hidden helper function to enable a focused data acquisition approach to handle only a subset of metadata corresponding to the focused dataset.
### Notes:
* metadata handling **IMPROVED**: improved handling of different column names in matadata (DataDictionary) from REDCap dependent on whether it is acquired thorugh the api og downloaded from the server.
