# 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()
```
