The teal.transform package is an integral component of
the teal framework. It serves a dual purpose:
teal application developers, it provides a means to
specify which dataset columns can be accessed through the user
interface, streamlining column selection within their applications.teal module developers, it offers a standardized
user interface for column selection from datasets and facilitates
dataset merging, resulting in the creation of analysis datasets for use
within their modules.The primary goal of teal.transform is to provide
functions that help in abstracting the process of Data Extraction and
Data Merging in UI elements of the shiny app. This helps in
reducing the amount of code required to create a UI elements that
directly transform the data to perform the required analysis. This is
how the app user gains flexibility to transform their data right from
the UI.
To explore the combined use of data extraction and merging to see the
full use of teal.transform, please explore the Combining data-extract with
data-merge vignette.
To delve into the process of selecting specific data columns, please consult the Data Extraction vignette.
For comprehensive information regarding data merging, please refer to the Data Merge vignette.
