Collapse a vector of values into a single string when necessary
Collapse a vector of values into a single string when necessary
REDCap's API frequently specifies a series of values separated by commas. In the R world, it's easier to keep these values as separate elements in a vector. This functions squashes them together in a single character element (presumably right before the return value is passed to the API)
collapse_vector(elements)
Arguments
elements: An array of values. Can be NULL. Required.
Returns
A single character element, where the values are separated by commas. Can be blank. (i.e., "").
Examples
