goctools -- an R package for the GOC

goctools is an R package for the Gainesville Opportunity center

Tools include database access, data cleaning, dashboard widgets, plots, and reports.

Tools are usable from

1. the command line
2. the GOC R server in batch jobs controlled by cron
3. the GOC Dashboard

Having a tools package used by these insures consistency

Installation

To install:

install.packages('mconlon17/goctools')
library(goctools)

Naming Conventions

• plot_ -- plots
• list_ -- flextable reports (lists) that tabulate data for presentation.
• dict_ -- dictionary functions used to translate values from Flourish internal (key) to presentation externation (value)
• check_ -- functions used to check values for possible errors. In some cases these are frequency tables, in some cases lists, and in some cases, more sophisticated check. For example check_duplicate_contacts checks all the contacts against each other for duplicate names using Levenshtein distance.
• get_ -- get data from Flourish. These functions return data.frames ready for further processing

Two special functions insure consistency of presentation:

• goc_table -- creates a flextable from a data.frame using GOC presentation standards
• goc_plot -- creates a ggplot from a ggplot applying GOC presentation standards
