[samkitshah1262]

towards #433 , @sanjayankur31 , could you please take a look and provide feedback. Thank you !

[sanjayankur31]

@samkitshah1262 : could you add a unit test too please? It just makes it easier to test + verify?

ready for review

Hi @samkitshah1262 , thanks for this and sorry for the delay. it's a good start, but it's incomplete because every NeuroML class is actually a "ComponentType":

https://docs.neuroml.org/Userdocs/LEMS_elements/Definingcomponenttypes.html

and example:

https://github.com/NeuroML/NeuroML2/blob/master/NeuroML2CoreTypes/Cells.xml#L1298

So, one has to load the model in LEMS (using PyLEMS) and then in the LEMS representation, go through all the component types to list their parameters

https://github.com/LEMS/pylems/

(I do want to note that we're not putting forward a GSoC project this year related to developing NeuroML software like we did last year, so if you're looking for GSoC projects, you may want to look at the other options).

@sanjayankur31 Thank you for the review and the heads up! Was looking for GSOC project primarily, nevertheless I would love to contribute! Moreover, is there a collaboration space (except gitter) , If not a dedicated contributor channel for communication?

Most of our collaboration happens here over GitHub, and the element/matrix (which used to be gitter) channel is where folks chat if something requires synchronous communication.
