DataEntry: Data Entry interfaces.

The data entry backend is a MariaDB database so more people can enter data simultaneously. The frontends are UI-s (one per table) based on shiny and rhandsontable.

Individual checks are done by validators. A collection of validators makes an inspector. Data is checked before it is saved to the DB by the inspector. Each time the inspector runs, the exact position of the offending cell(s) and the reasons for errors are returned.

The user can bypass the data validation. However the entries saved without validation are flagged in the database and the user is encouraged to explain why the validation was ignored.

Given that test DB exists (see system.file('UI', '.testdb.R', package = 'DataEntry')) this UI can be run with:

ui = system.file('UI', 'newData', package = 'DataEntry')
shiny::runApp(ui, launch.browser = TRUE)
