Loading Data into Memory

loading-data-into-memory.Rmd
library(dv.loader)

Note: use_wd = TRUE can be used to source from local folder. Just set your working directory before using with setwd(), or use an explicit path in sub_dir.

Usage: load_data() 

test_data_path <- "../tests/testthat/inst/extdata"
data_list <- load_data(
  sub_dir = test_data_path,
  file_names = "dummyads2",
  use_wd = TRUE
)


class(data_list)
#> [1] "list"

class(data_list[["dummyads2"]])
#> [1] "tbl_df"     "tbl"        "data.frame"

head(data_list[["dummyads2"]])
#>     STUDYID       USUBJID SUBJID TRTFL PPROTFL TRT01PNDC TRT01PN
