tfrmt 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2025-09-06

Improvements

  • Working with ARDs created from the {cards} package:
    • Added shuffle_card(), which prepares a card ARD object for analysis.
    • Added prep_...() functions to reduce the manual processing required for a card ARD object once it has been shuffled. (#509, @dragosmg)
      • prep_combine_vars(): useful for combining sparsely populated columns into a single one.
      • prep_big_n(): useful when the tfrmt contains a bigN structure. It recodes the "n" stat_name into "bigN" for the desired variables.
      • prep_label(): combines stat_label and variable_level for categorical (or categorical-like) variables.
      • prep_hierarchical_fill(): does a pair-wise replacement of missing values (NAs) in one column based on another column. It can replace NA either with a predetermined value, with the value of the other column in the pair, or with a {glue} expression.
  • Updated RTF footnotes so they go in the document footer by default.

Bug fixes

  • Fix issue where *_structure functions did not correctly parse strings containing quotes in some cases. (#466)
  • Fix issue where page_plan doesn’t work if there is only one level in your paging variable. (#506)
  • Fix issues where an error is thrown instead of a message if: (1) levels of page-specific big Ns do not align with levels of pagination (#505) or (2) the pagination levels are sorted non-alphabetically. (#516)
  • Fix issue where the big_n_structure doesn’t work when the column name used for page_plan/grouping has a space in it. (#522)

tfrmt 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2024-10-15

Improvements

  • Incorporate contents of col_style_plan in the creation of mock data.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where JSON conversion of frmt_when dropped quotes from strings
  • Avoid use of deprecated functionality in dplyr::summarise()

tfrmt 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2024-07-06

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where table stub indentation does not transfer to all output types
  • Fixed issue where incomplete body_plan may error if the grouping variable is a factor

tfrmt 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2024-03-15

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where frmt_combine couldn’t process variable names surrounded by backticks
  • Fixed issue where row_grp_plan post space did not respect col_style_plan widths by adding new fill argument to element_block. The fill argument controls whether post space values should be recycled for the cell’s data width. For example, a cell width of 3 will be respected by the post space with the following syntax: element_block(post_space = "---", fill = FALSE).
  • Remove unused border argument in element_block.
  • Fixed bug where row_grp_plan splits on all grouping variables, even if not mentioned. Instead, the logic has been updated to split on those explicitly mentioned, similar to page_plan
  • Fixed issue where padding and alignment is lost for non-HTML outputs via the .unicode_ws argument added to print_to_gt() and print_mock_gt(). This defaults to TRUE but should be set to FALSE for RTF outputs (until {gt} bug is resolved).
  • Fixed issue where make_mock_data could result in duplicate rows

tfrmt 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2023-10-17

New features:

  • Improved column alignment capabilities (via col_style_plan). Alignment options now fall into two types: character (type = “char”) and positional (type = “pos”). Positional alignment is new and allows for aligning across multiple positions.
  • Add page_plan for splitting tables across multiple pages
  • Add ability to add a group/label header via the col_plan

Breaking changes:

  • Name of the list component inside row_grp_plan that stores row_grp_structures has been changed from “struct_ls” to “struct_list” to be consistent with other objects. This may impact compatibility with JSON files created using prior versions of {tfrmt}.

Bug fixes:

  • frmt_combine no longer throws error if group variable is named “var”
  • row_grp_plan with post-space no longer throws error if character column contains NA values

tfrmt 0.0.3

CRAN release: 2023-06-22

  • Fixed bugs with JSON read/write
  • Added transformation capabilities to frmt()

tfrmt 0.0.2

CRAN release: 2023-02-13

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
  • Added functionality to read/write tfrmts to JSON files
  • Updates made to work with the newest version of dplyr
