james 1.6.0 (Apr 2024)

Visible changes

  • Changes the version number so that the JAMES package has the same version as the JAMES docker
  • Updates to growthscreener 1.21.0, which changes weight for height criteria into weight-for-age
  • Changes the definition and processing of BDS 71 (parental birth land) to provide a string with 4 digits (was numeric and integer previously) to conform to alphanumeric typology in BDS (updates to bdsreader 0.25.0)
  • Introduces throttling of 3 sec for checkbox, sliders and radio buttons
  • Resolves the WFH sequence problem when later height is shorter (#24)
  • Added JAMES, version and copyright note to “Meldingen”
  • Removed the superfluous header “GROEIDIAGRAMMEN” from the left panel
  • Adds a check and warning if the stored OpenCPU session does not contain data created by read_bds()

More informative Meldingen panel

JAMES now writes on Meldingen for rq1 (james::convert_tgt_chartadvice()) and rq2 (james::draw_chart()):

  1. The session ID
  2. The ocpu.call from javascript to the R function
  3. A summary of the response from R
  4. If present: warnings from R
  5. If present: messages from R

Note: The update of “Meldingen” when the call failed does always work, so it may be that “Meldingen” displays the results from the last functional call instead of the failed call. If the request failed, there will be a pop-up window with a stack trace from R.

Internal changes

  • Updates javascript, HTML and CSS for clarity and efficiency
  • Moves styling from index.html to main.css
  • Removes allegro blend (#20)
  • Returns txt, session and site in blend response as strings (#21)
  • Transfers all event binding functionality from index.html into start.js
  • Refactors JS code https://github.com/growthcharts/james/pull/26/#issue-2197694510
  • Updates all packages and renv to CRAN version March 2024

Bug fixes

  • Fixes a bug during initialization of children > 4y (#29)
  • Resolves Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'hgt_z_0' not found (#23)
  • Solves issue #19 which appears when JAMES cannot find the child data.

Simplified update logic

  • The JS call to update() (which draws the chart) is now removed from the call-back function of rq1. Thus, initialization of controls and drawing of charts are now done independently and in parallel. This removes a nested ocpu.call() call, thereby improveing performance.
  • This change was undone in 1.5.6 because controls were not properly updated.

james 0.68.0

  • Updates all packages, includes growthscreener 1.20.0, which include language development guideline
  • Version meant to test and solve various implementation issues reported by K Nienhuis, okt 2023

james 0.67.0

james 0.66.0

Solves problems with the javascript interface

  1. The interface did not select the correct chart for lollypop children. The problem was related to an incorrect gestational age field in the demodata. The bdsreader::write_bds() was refactored. All demodata were updated with the correct values.

  2. Made a change in the data schema: Reference –> reference to adhere to camelCase in BDS schema

  3. Added a new possibility to run the javascript interface in the local environment. See ../notes/debug-javascript.qmd for details.

  4. Repaired the chartcode field in the interface

Minor changes

  • Update tests to account for deprecated functions and arguments
  • Solve problem in screen_curves(). The function now always returns a JSON result

james 0.24.0

  • Re-introduce legacy functions draw_chart_bds, draw_chart_ind
  • Change screen_curves to old behavior, thus producing a list instead of a table
  • Re-introduce arguments bds_data, location, ind_loc and ?ind=

james 0.23.0

  • Major update incorporating the following breaking changes since james 0.16.0
  1. JAMES now consistently uses the txt parameter for JSON child data input, both in the R package and in the javascript. This replaces arguments like bds_data and bds.
  2. JAMES now consistently uses the loc parameters as the URL with uploaded child data. This replaces arguments named location, ind_loc and ind. The query parameter ?ind= in URL’s is outdated, and superseeded by ?loc=.
  3. All analysis functions now accept txt and loc input. When both are specified, txt takes precedence.
  4. For consistency, function upload_txt replaces update_bds.
  5. Function screen_curves no longer returns a list, but only the screening results, consistent with its naming. A new function custom_list takes over this task from screen_curves.
  6. Removed functions: draw_chart_bds, draw_chart_ind, draw_plot (replaced by draw_chart).
  • Enhancements:
  1. The site accept now the ?txt= query parameter, which bypasses the need to upload data.
  2. The new function request_site constructs URL’s for personalised sites.
  3. The new function custom_list creates a custom list of return values (formerly implemented by screen_curves), and adds a new element containing the D-score from the last observation.
  4. A new function update_txt() to upload data to JAMES
  5. The JAMES server location is now independent of the data location, so uploaded data can be stored on an external URL that is under control of the client.
  6. The javascript reduces the number of calls via OpenCPU, resulting in speedier site updates.
  7. Function draw_chart gets a new parameter draw_grob argument, which allows the user to defer drawing and to tweak the gTree object directly.
