Shiny data dictionary creator

Open wdkeyzer opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

An idea you might want to tackle once is a Shiny app that generates a data dictionary from a datafile that is uploaded by the user (name, description, data type). Maybe something like the data dictionaries that come with TidyTuesday datasets? As an option a user would also be able to add a description to the variables in the dictionary, or if labels were assigned this would serve as the description field. For factor variables the different values could also be shown. Such a tool would be very useful for non-data scientist researchers to document their data in order to facilitate data re-use via open data repositories. Keep up the good work!
