GENERATEEXTENSION - Generate Matlab classes from NWB extension schema file

Syntax:

GENERATEEXTENSION(extension_path...) Generate classes (Matlab m-files) from one or more NWB schema extension namespace files. A registry of already generated core types is used to resolve dependent types.

A cache of schema data is generated in the namespaces subdirectory in the matnwb root directory. This is for allowing cross-referencing classes between multiple namespaces.

Output files are placed in a +types subdirectory in the matnwb root directory directory.

Input Arguments:

namespaceFilePath (string) - Filepath pointing to a schema extension namespace file. This is a repeating argument, so multiple filepaths can be provided
options (name-value pairs) - Optional name-value pairs. Available options:
- savedir (string) - A folder to save generated classes for NWB/extension types.

Usage:

Example 1 - Generate classes for custom schema extensions:

generateExtension('schema\myext\myextension.namespace.yaml', 'schema\myext2\myext2.namespace.yaml');
