# OMG
|
||||
_OMG - Obsidian Metadata Generator_
|
||||
|
||||
OMG is a simple python script that generates metadata like the "Metadata Extractor"-plugin does.
|
||||
It cannot do as much as the plugin because it was made to generate metadata for
|
||||
[Perlite](https://github.com/secure-77/Perlite).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
Before you can use the script, you have to install the dependencies.
|
||||
Normally, you would install the dependencies like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(which also works on this project)
|
||||
|
||||
But since OMG has only one dependency, (pyyaml) you can simply run
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
pip install pyyaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Line
|
||||
The script is usable from the command line. It takes 2 arguments: `vault_path` and `metadata_path`.
|
||||
`metadata_path` comes after `vault_path` and is optional because it has a default value of `vault_path/metadata.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Python API
|
||||
To use the script as a module, simply import it and create an instance of the OMG class with the `path`-parameter set
|
||||
to your vault path. The metadata is stored as a dict in `instance.md_files`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from omg import OMG
|
||||
|
||||
metadata = OMG("/home/user/.obsidian/myVault")
|
||||
as_dict = metadata.md_files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To write the metadata, you can use `instance.dump(path: Pathlike=None, indent=2)`.
|
||||
This will create a `metadata.json` in your vault by default, but you can also specify any other path.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from omg import OMG
|
||||
|
||||
metadata = OMG("/home/user/.obsidian/myVault")
|
||||
metadata.dump()
|
||||
```
