cleaner 1.5.42022-10-29

• For clean_Date() and clean_POSIXct(): allow argument max_date to be the same length as x
• Fix for digits in format()
• Fix for currency symbols
• Fix CRAN check error

cleaner 1.5.32021-06-13

• CRAN fix for macOS (r-release-macos-arm64)

cleaner 1.5.22021-05-24

• Fix for latest R-devel, that does not allow digits = 0 for format()

• clean_Date() now supports month-year format for which it sets the day as 1:

  
  clean_Date("March")
  #> (assuming format 'mmmm')
  #> [1] "2021-03-01"
  clean_Date("March 2020")
  #> (assuming format 'mmmm yyyy')
   #> [1] "2020-03-01"

• freq() now contains a wt argument to set the weights. The default (NULL) yields the old behaviour.

• Fixed a bug in clean_POSIXct() that led to the warning Incompatible methods ("Ops.POSIXt", "Ops.Date") for ">"

cleaner 1.5.12020-12-02

• New function format_p_value() to format raw p values according to the APA guideline

• clean_Date() now works with POSIX standards:

  
  clean_Date("2020-11-12 12:24:12")
  clean_Date(c("2020-11-12 12:24:12", "2020-11-13"), guess_each = TRUE)

• Currency now prints and formats without symbols as default, use as_symbol = TRUE to print/format with currency symbols

• Support for older versions of R (v3.2)

cleaner 1.5.02020-06-01

• New function format_names() to quickly and easily change names of data.frame columns, lists or character vectors.

  
  df <- data.frame(old.name = "test1", value = "test2")
  format_names(df, snake_case = TRUE)
  format_names(df, camelCase = TRUE)
  format_names(df, c(old.name = "new_name", value = "measurement"))
  
  library(dplyr)
  starwars %>% 
    format_names(camelCase = TRUE) %>% # column names
    mutate(name = name %>% 
             format_names(snake_case = TRUE)) # values in column

• New generic function na_replace() to replace NA values in any data type. Its default replacement value is dependent on the data type that is given as input: 0 for numeric values and class matrix, FALSE for class logical, today for class Date, and "" otherwise.

  
  na_replace(c(1, 2, NA, NA))
  #> [1] 1 2 0 0
  na_replace(c(1, 2, NA, NA), replacement = -1)
  #> [1]  1  2 -1 -1
  
  library(dplyr)
  starwars %>% 
    na_replace(hair_color) # only replace NAs in this column
  
  starwars %>% 
    na_replace() # replace NAs in all columns ("" for hair_color and 0 for birth_year)

• Support for the upcoming R 4.1.0

cleaner 1.4.02020-04-01

• New function rdate() to generate random dates (in analogy to e.g. runif())

• Frequency tables (freq()):

  • Added availability of data to header

  • Fix for using na.rm

  • Fix for transforming to a visual histogram with hist()

  • New method for using format() on a frequency table

  • New method for transforming the values of a frequency table to a vector with as.vector(), which also supports dates

    
    library(dplyr)
    library(cleaner)
    data.frame(dates = rdate(100)) %>% 
      freq(dates) %>% 
      as.vector()

• Fix for clean_Date() not accepting already POSIX or Date input

• When using clean_Date(..., guess_each = TRUE) it now accepts the format parameter as a vector of options to let it choose from

• clean_Date() and clean_POSIXct gained a parameter max_date (that defaults to today), so that they will never return years beyond a specified date:

  
  # old
  clean_Date("23-01-67")
  #> [1] "2067-01-23"
  
  # new
  clean_Date("23-01-67")
  #> [1] "1967-01-23"
  #> Warning: Some years were decreased by 100 to not exceed today.
  #>          Use clean_Date(..., max_date = Inf) to prevent this.
  clean_Date("23-01-67", max_date = Inf)
  #> [1] "2067-01-23"

• Cleaned all code using the lintr package

cleaner 1.3.12020-01-31

• Fixed a bug when using a percentage class into the percentage() function, i.e. percentage(as.percentage(1)) would fail
• Fixed extremely small percentages, like as.percentage(2.5e-14)

cleaner 1.3.02020-01-24

• Added functions clean_double() and clean_integer()
• Added a method for median() in percentages
• Fixed a bug where NA in percentages would not be formatted correctly
• Fixed a bug in frequency tables where sometimes the number of digits used for percentages would be astronomical

cleaner 1.2.02019-11-05

• DUE TO CRAN POLICY: RENAMED TO PACKAGE TO cleaner
• Added support for percentages as a new class: as.percentage() and clean_percentage(). They also come with ‘S3 methods’ for print, format, sum, min and max.
• More robust coercing of dates
• Support for negative values for clean_numeric(), clean_percentage() and clean_currency()
• Fix for clean_character() on R v3.5 and lower
• Fix for digits in frequency tables for numeric values
