[Feature]: yaml file as input to converter.get_metadata() #541
Description
What would you like to see added to NeuroConv?
What if NWBConverter.get_metadata() took the path of a yaml file as an optional input?
So this:
# The metadata file path
metadata_path = "general_metadata.yml"
metadata_from_yaml = load_dict_from_file(metadata_path)
# The converter that combines the input streams into a single conversion
converter = IntoTheVoidNWBConverter(source_data=source_data)
# The converter can extract relevant metadata from the source files
metadata = converter.get_metadata()
# This metadata can be updated with other relevant metadata
metadata = dict_deep_update(metadata, metadata_from_yaml)could become this:
# The converter that combines the input streams into a single conversion
converter = IntoTheVoidNWBConverter(source_data=source_data)
# The converter can extract relevant metadata from the source files
metadata = converter.get_metadata("general_metadata.yml")Internally, metadata would be loaded and would update the metadata object before returning.
