## Requirements
### Other than Python
This package __requires node.js installed__. you can download and install it at [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/en). It is available for both macOS and Windows for free.

### Python version
This package has been developped with Python `3.12.1` however, other python versions are actively being tested to add other versions as soon as possible.

### Python packages
When mzdata2mat will be installed on your system, the following packages will also be installed (if they are not) into your Python enviuronment : 
```
    pydantic>=2.6.4
    mat4py>=0.6.0
    javascript>=1!1.1.3
```
# Installation
From your terminal run the following command to install mzdata2mat into your environment :
```shell
$ pip install mzdata2mat
```
If you have multiple instances of Python installed, run this command with the chosen Python interpreter to install mzdata2mat in the corresponding Python installation :
```shell
$ <pathToPythonApp> -m pip install mzdata2mat
```
When the command terminates, you have successfully installed mzdata2mat !

To verfiy if the installation was successful, run in your terminal this command :
```shell
$ mzdata2mat-verify
```
When you will first run this command, node.js will download and install the `mzdata` package from `npm`. This will only happen the first time you run the command. The terminal will show you these lines during the process :
```shell
 Installing 'mzdata' version 'latest'... This will only happen once.

When it's done, mzdata2mat package will attempt to convert an example .mzdata.xml file into a .mat file. If everything goes right, you will get this message :
```shell
$ mzdata2mat - Ready to use !
```
The example file (.mzdata.xml) will be copied in the current working directory and the converted file (.mat) will be added as soon as the conversion finishes.

If an error occurs, this probably means that you do not have __node.js__ installed on your machine or you didn't add it to your PATH.

# Usage

### Example Code

```python

# Here we import the main class used for the conversion.
1 from mzdata2mat import mzDataManager

# We initialize the class
# If all mzData files are stored in the same directory, we can specify the parameter `mzDataPath` instead of `useDirectory`.
2 converterAgent = mzDataManager(useDirectory=False)

3 path2mzDataFile : str = "path/to/stored/files"

4 someDirectory : str = "path/to/save/file/"

# Now we can call the mzDataXMLread function to read the .mzData.xml file:
5 data = converterAgent.mzDataXMLread(fileName=path2mzDataFile)

# The data we've got from the previous function can be saved to a .mat file with the saveMatfile funtion:
6 converterAgent.saveMatfile(mzData=data, dir2save=someDirectory)

```

You have successfully converted a mzData file into mat files ! 

Congratulations !
