redquack 0.3.0

New Features

• Interface redesign with new convience functions:
  • use_duckdb() and close_duckdb() for database connection management
  • remove_duckdb() for cleanup and file removal
  • tbl_redcap() for creating table references with dplyr support
  • collect_labeled() and collect_labeled_list() for data with REDCap labels
  • collect_list() for splitting data into instrument-specific tables
  • list_to_env() for loading instruments into the global environment
  • metadata() and logs() for accessing stored metadata and transfer logs
  • inspect() for examining table structure for project data
  • save_parquet() for efficient data export
• Add REDCap audit logs (redcap_log()) with configurable date ranges

Lifecycle Changes

• Rename logs() to transfer_log()
• Rename log_table_name parameter to transfer_log_table_name in redcap_to_db()
• Rename redcap_uri parameter to url in redcap_to_db()
• Rename verbose to echo in redcap_to_db() and change from logical to string options: “all” (default), “progress”, or “none”
• Add metadata_table_name parameter to redcap_to_db() for storing REDCap field definitions
• Add redcap_log_table_name parameter to redcap_to_db() for customizing REDCap audit log table name and schema
• Add redcap_log_begin_date and redcap_log_end_date parameters to redcap_to_db() for configurable REDCap log date ranges
• Remove data export formatting parameters (raw_or_label, raw_or_label_headers, export_checkbox_label) in redcap_to_db() as labeling is now handled by collection functions
• Import dplyr, dbplyr, duckdb, labelled, and rlang as new dependencies

Minor Improvements

• Add S3 methods for dplyr verbs (filter, select, arrange, group_by) that preserve REDCap table attributes
• Automatic record ID preservation across multiple instruments

Patches

• Remove dependencies on beepr and utils
• Remove optimize_types and use connection class to check if DuckDB
• Remove return_duckdb to return TRUE (complete) or FALSE (incomplete)
• Bump default max_retries from 3 to 10 retries
• Add HTTP 504 transient error to retry
• Rebrand hex logo
