adding structure's MP ID to web site structure export files
Feature Requested
It would be great if files exported from the web site visualizer export button would indicate what MP ID the structure corresponds to. Right now they seem to only indicate the chemical formula.
Proposed Solution
Add the MP ID as part of the filename (e.g. Al2O3_mp_1143.poscar
) and/or add the MP ID to the POSCAR comment (1st) line. I don't know as much about the other formats, so I don't know if they could accommodate arbitrary strings within the file as well.
Relevant Information
No response
pymatgen
isn't quite the right place for this feature request. crystaltoolkit
contains part of the relevant code. i added the behavior that MP ID will be included in the filename if it's found in Structure.properties
in https://github.com/materialsproject/crystaltoolkit/pull/378.
all the frontend would have to do is store the MP ID as "material_id"
or "id"
in Structure.properties
to enable this behavior.
pinging @yang-ruoxi in case you want to create an mp-web
issue from this.
Thanks - sorry about the somewhat misdirected post.
