QuickExplore: Interactive Dataset Explorer for SAS and Other Data Formats

A 'Shiny' application that provides a SAS Studio-style interface for browsing, exploring, summarising, and converting datasets in SAS (.sas7bdat, .xpt), CSV, and R (.rds) formats.

The main entry point is run_app(). The package also exports several standalone helper functions useful outside the Shiny context:

• read_dataset() – read any supported format into a data frame.

• list_datasets() – enumerate datasets in a directory.

• get_variable_info() – variable-level metadata.

• compute_numeric_summary() / compute_categorical_summary() – tidy descriptive statistics.

• compute_crosstab() – wide-format contingency table with optional stratification (e.g. SEX × RACE by Treatment).

• format_file_size() – human-readable file size strings.

The Code Generator feature (code_generator_ui() / code_generator_server()) automatically produces a reproducible R script reflecting the current session state: dataset loading, filter/select expressions, summary statistics, and export format.
