# 💼​ Features
- Apply and combine general basic operations to pre-process text in Spanish
- Establish direct connection with file paths, databases… for easy reading and writing data
- Simple implementation, optimized and ready to apply configuration files
- Autocorrect function to improve data quality
- Methods for privacy control, replacing or removing personal data from the dataset
- Support for spanish and english languages

# ​💾​ Install Preln

To start using Preln use the next command:

```markdown
pip install preln
```

Note: you might have to add this command as a “code” line in order to use Preln on a Python notebook.

- [If you are using an old version of Preln, check the update guide to install the package’s new changes.]()

The main object class of the package is called `Preprocessing` and it contains all the principal functions of the package. We will be importing this class and creating and object in order to use it’s methods:

```python
from Preln.preprocessing import Preprocessing

preprocessor = Preprocessing(date=False, date_format=None, accents=False, lowercasing=True,   
               privacy=True, privacy_format="multi:replace", correction=True, media=True, 
               media_format="mention:delete", numbers=False, punctuation=True, 
               stopwords=True, tokenizer=True, debug=False)
```

## 🔧​ Example of use

In this basic example, you can check how to use the package in order to process a simple piece of text.

```python
sample_text = "¡Hola @usuario!, mi nombre es Preln, me han creado Adrián y Raúl. Revisa mi documentación en https://www.preln.org"

test = preprocessor.pipeline(sample_text)

print(test) # ['MENTION', 'nombre', 'ORG', 'creado', 'PERSON', 'PERSON', 'revisa', 'documentación', 'URL']
```

Note: The pipeline method has it´s parameters (which toggle the core methods) setted by default. It’s interesting to change them based on each text we want to process.

- [You can check every option upon the core methods and find out what combination of them suits perfectly with your dataset]()
