Check data column classes against REDCap expectations
REDCap_coltype_check.RdUses REDCap codebook metadata to infer expected classes and compares these to
classes in data.
Usage
REDCap_coltype_check(
codebook,
indicator_POSIXct = "datetime_dmy",
indicator_date = "Date",
indicator_time = "time",
indicator_logical = "yesno",
indicator_numeric.val_col = c("number", "integer"),
indicator_numeric.type_col = c("radio", "dropdown"),
label_col = `Field Label`,
name_col = `Variable / Field Name`,
type_col = `Field Type`,
val_col = `Text Validation Type OR Show Slider Number`,
data
