Transformers
============
**hircine** supports modification of scraper results by the use of
transformers. Transformers are functions that hook into the scraping process
and may freely modify any :ref:`scraped-data` before it is shown to the user.
A transformer is specified by decorating a generator function with the
:func:`~hircine.plugins.transformer` decorator.
.. autodecorator:: hircine.plugins.transformer
.. autoclass:: hircine.scraper.ScraperInfo
Registering transformers
------------------------
To register transformers, place them into a module in the
``hircine.transformer`` :ref:`entry point group <packaging:entry-points>`. For
example, put the following in a ``pyproject.toml`` file:
.. code-block:: toml
[project.entry-points.'hircine.transformer']
my_transformers = 'mytransformers.transformers'
Example
-------
.. literalinclude:: /_examples/example_transformer.py
:language: python
