[docs]def update_sidecar_json(bids_path, entries, verbose=True): """Update sidecar files using a dictionary or JSON file. Will update metadata fields inside the path defined by ``bids_path.fpath`` according to the ``entries``. If a field does not exist in the corresponding sidecar file, then that field will be created according to the ``entries``. If a field does exist in the corresponding sidecar file, then that field will be updated according to the ``entries``. For example, if ``InstitutionName`` is not defined in the sidecar json file, then trying to update ``InstitutionName`` to ``Martinos Center`` will update the sidecar json file to have ``InstitutionName`` as ``Martinos Center``. Parameters ---------- bids_path : mne_bids.BIDSPath The set of paths to update. The :class:`mne_bids.BIDSPath` instance passed here **must** have the ``.root`` attribute set. The ``.datatype`` attribute **may** be set. If ``.datatype`` is not set and only one data type (e.g., only EEG or MEG data) is present in the dataset, it will be selected automatically. This must uniquely identify an existing file path, else an error will be raised. entries : dict | str | pathlib.Path A dictionary, or JSON file that defines the sidecar fields and corresponding values to be updated to. verbose : bool The verbosity level. Notes ----- This function can only update JSON files. Sidecar JSON files include files such as ``*_ieeg.json``, ``*_coordsystem.json``, ``*_scans.json``, etc. You should double check that your update dictionary is correct for the corresponding sidecar JSON file because it will perform a dictionary update of the sidecar fields according to the passed in dictionary overwriting any information that was previously there. Raises ------ RuntimeError If the specified ``bids_path.fpath`` cannot be found in the dataset. RuntimeError If the ``bids_path.fpath`` does not have ``.json`` extension. Examples -------- >>> # update sidecar json file >>> bids_path = BIDSPath(root='./', subject='001', session='001', task='test', run='01', suffix='ieeg', extension='.json') >>> entries = {'PowerLineFrequency': 50} >>> update_sidecar_json(bids_path, entries) >>> # update sidecar coordsystem json file >>> bids_path = BIDSPath(root='./', subject='001', session='001', suffix='coordsystem', extension='.json') >>> entries = {'iEEGCoordinateSystem,': 'Other'} >>> update_sidecar_json(bids_path, entries) """ # get all matching json files bids_path = bids_path.copy() if bids_path.extension != '.json': raise RuntimeError('Only works for ".json" files.
