There are times where the user will want to create a mock CDM reference from its own bespoke tables. The mockCdmFromTables() function is designed to facilitates the creation of mock CDM reference from bespoke tables.For example if you want to create a CDM reference based on below bespoke cohorts. You can do it simple using the mockCdmFromTable() functions in a few lines of code.
# Define a list of user-defined cohort tables
cohortTables <- list(
cohort1 = tibble(
subject_id = 1:10,
cohort_definition_id = rep(1, 10),
cohort_start_date = as.Date("2020-01-01") + 1:10,
cohort_end_date = as.Date("2020-01-01") + 11:20
),
cohort2 = tibble(
subject_id = 11:20,
cohort_definition_id = rep(2, 10),
cohort_start_date = as.Date("2020-02-01") + 1:10,
cohort_end_date = as.Date("2020-02-01") + 11:20
)
)
# Create a mock CDM object from the user-defined tables
cdm <- mockCdmReference() |> mockCdmFromTables(tables = cohortTables)
#> ! cohort columns will be reordered to match the expected order:
#> cohort_definition_id, subject_id, cohort_start_date, and cohort_end_date.
#> ! cohort columns will be reordered to match the expected order:

cdm |> glimpse()
#> A cdm reference of mock database with 11 tables: person, observation_period, cdm_source, concept, vocabulary, concept_relationship, concept_synonym, concept_ancestor, drug_strength, cohort1, and cohort2.
