Make a data codebook that summarizes the contents of a dataset. The result is saved to an R markdown file which can be rendered into an easy-to-read codebook in pdf, html or word formats.
makeCodebook(data, vol = "", reportTitle = NULL, file = NULL, ...)The dataset to be checked. This dataset should be of class data.frame,
tibble or matrix. If it is of class matrix, it will be converted to a
data.frame.
Extra text string or numeric that is appended on the end of the output
file name(s). For example, if the dataset is called "myData", no file argument is
supplied and vol=2, the output file will be called "codebook_myData2.Rmd"
A text string. If supplied, this will be the printed title of the report. If left unspecified, the title with the name of the supplied dataset.
The filename of the outputted rmarkdown (.Rmd) file.
If set to NULL (the default), the filename will be the name of data
prefixed with "codebook_", if this qualifies as a valid file name (e.g. no special
characters allowed). Otherwise, makeCodebook() tries to create a valid filename by
substituting illegal characters. Note that a valid file is of type .Rmd, hence all
filenames should have a ".Rmd"-suffix.
Additional parameters passed to makeDataReport.
