## Usage

### Python API

#### Example: Providing Personal Information Directly in Code
```python
from . import anonymizer

# Initialize the anonymizer
ano = anonymizer.Anonymizer()

# Define personal information
infos = {
    "first_name": "Bob",
    "last_name": "Jungels",
    "birth_name": "",
    "birthdate": "1992-09-22",
    "ipp": "0987654321",
    "postal_code": "01000",
    "adress": ""
}

# Configure the anonymizer
ano.set_info(infos)
ano.set_strategies(['regex', 'pii'])
ano.set_masks('placeholder')

# Read and anonymize text
text_to_anonymize = ano.open_text_file("/path/to/file.txt")
anonymized_text = ano.anonymize(text_to_anonymize)

print(anonymized_text)
```

#### Example: Using JSON File for Personal Information
```python
from . import anonymizer

# Initialize the anonymizer
ano = anonymizer.Anonymizer()

# Load personal information from JSON
infos_json = ano.open_json_file("/path/to/infofile.json")

# Configure the anonymizer
ano.set_info(infos_json)
ano.set_strategies(['regex', 'pii'])
ano.set_masks('placeholder')

# Read and anonymize text
text_to_anonymize = ano.open_text_file("/path/to/file.txt")
anonymized_text = ano.anonymize(text_to_anonymize)

print(anonymized_text)
```

### Command-Line Interface (CLI)

#### Basic Usage
```bash
python -m incognito --input myinputfile.txt --output myanonymizedfile.txt --strategies mystrategies --mask mymasks
```

#### Find Available Strategies and Masks
```bash
python -m incognito --help
```

#### Anonymization with JSON File
```bash
python -m incognito --input myinputfile.txt --output myanonymizedfile.txt --strategies mystrategies --mask mymasks json --json myjsonfile.json
```

To view helper options for the JSON submodule:
```bash
python -m incognito json --help
```

#### Anonymization with Personal Information in CLI
```bash
python -m incognito --input myinputfile.txt --output myanonymizedfile.txt --strategies mystrategies --mask mymasks infos --first_name Bob --last_name Dylan --birthdate 1800-01-01 --ipp 0987654312 --postal_code 75001
```

To view helper options for the "infos" submodule:
```bash
python -m incognito infos --help
```

## Unit Tests

Unit tests are included to ensure the module's functionality. You can modify them based on your needs.

To run the tests:
```bash
make test
```

To check code coverage:
```bash
make cov
```

## Anonymization Process Details

### Regex Strategy
One available anonymization strategy is **Regex**. It can extract and mask specific information from the input text, such as:
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- French NIR (social security number)
- First and last names (if preceded by titles like "Monsieur", "Madame", "Mr", "Mme", "Docteur", "Professeur", etc.)

For more details, see the [`RegexStrategy` class](incognito/analyzer.py) and the `self.title_regex` variable.
