Get all registered options for the type-argument in the makeme-function

The makeme()-function take for the argument type one of several strings to indicate content type and output type. This function collects all registered alternatives. Extensions are possible, see further below.

Built-in types:

Whereas the names of the types can be arbitrary, a pattern is pursued in the built-in types. Prefix indicates what dependent data type it is intended for

"cat": Categorical (ordinal and nominal) data.
"chr": Open ended responses and other character data.
"int": Integer and numeric data.

Suffix indicates output

"html": Interactive html, usually what you want for Quarto, as Quarto can usually convert to other formats when needed
"docx": However, Quarto's and Pandoc's docx-support is currently still limited, for instance as vector graphics are converted to raster graphics for docx output. Hence, saros offers some types that outputs into MS Chart vector graphics. Note that this is experimental and not actively developed.
"pdf": This is basically just a shortcut for "html" with interactive=FALSE

Usage

get_makeme_types()

Value

Character vector

Further details about some of the built-in types:

"cat_plot_": A Likert style plot for groups of categorical variables sharing the same categories.
"cat_table_": A Likert style table.
"chr_table_": A single-column table listing unique open ended responses.
"sigtest_table_": See below

sigtest_table_\*: Make Table with All Combinations of Univariate/Bivariate Significance Tests Based on Variable Types

Although there are hundreds of significance tests for associations between two variables, depending upon the distributions, variables types and assumptions, most fall into a smaller set of popular tests. This function runs for all combinations of dependent and independent variables in data, with a suitable test (but not the only possible) for the combination. Also supports univariate tests, where the assumptions are that of a mean of zero for continuous variables or all equal proportions for binary/categorical.

This function does not allow any adjustments - use the original underlying functions for that (chisq.test, t.test, etc.)

Expanding with custom types

makeme() calls the generic make_content(), which uses the S3-method system to dispatch to the relevant method (i.e., paste0("make_content.", type)). makeme forwards all its arguments to make_content, with the following exceptions:

dep and indep are converted from dplyr::dplyr_tidy_select()-syntax to simple character vectors, for simplifying building your own functions.
data_summary is attached, which contains many useful pieces of info for many (categorical) displays.
