 Get metadata for a specific data asset.
 
+`useMetadata` has 3 uses:
+ - `useMetadata(did)` : it gets the ddo and then loads all the values (title, metadata etc)
+ - `useMetadata(ddo)` : it uses the passed ddo and the loads all the values, in case you already got a list of ddo, so you don't have to fetch the ddo once again
+ - `useMetadata()` : loads nothing, useful for using functions like `getBestPrice` or `getBestPool` (maybe more in the future) with minimal calls
+
 ## Usage
