### System Requirements - Operating System: Windows or Linux - Python 3.11+ - PySide6 for GUI - Internet connection for online features ### Custom Entities Entities are the core data structures in PANO. Each entity represents a piece of information with specific properties and behaviors. To create a custom entity: 1. Create a new file in the `entities` folder (e.g., `entities/phone_number.py`) 2. Implement your entity class:from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import ClassVar, Dict, Any
from .base import Entity
@dataclass
class PhoneNumber(Entity):
name: ClassVar[str] = "Phone Number"
description: ClassVar[str] = "A phone number entity with country code and validation"
def init_properties(self):
"""Initialize phone number properties"""
self.setup_properties({
"number": str,
"country_code": str,
"carrier": str,
"type": str, # mobile, landline, etc.
"verified": bool
})
def update_label(self):
"""Update the display label"""
self.label = self.format_label(["country_code", "number"])
### Custom Transforms Transforms are operations that process entities and generate new insights or relationships. To create a custom transform: 1. Create a new file in the `transforms` folder (e.g., `transforms/phone_lookup.py`) 2. Implement your transform class: from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import ClassVar, List
from .base import Transform
from entities.base import Entity
from entities.phone_number import PhoneNumber
from entities.location import Location
from ui.managers.status_manager import StatusManager
@dataclass
class PhoneLookup(Transform):
name: ClassVar[str] = "Phone Number Lookup"
description: ClassVar[str] = "Lookup phone number details and location"
input_types: ClassVar[List[str]] = ["PhoneNumber"]
output_types: ClassVar[List[str]] = ["Location"]
async def run(self, entity: PhoneNumber, graph) -> List[Entity]:
if not isinstance(entity, PhoneNumber):
return []
status = StatusManager.get()
operation_id = status.start_loading("Phone Lookup")
try:
# Your phone number lookup logic here
# Example: query an API for phone number details
location = Location(properties={
"country": "Example Country",
"region": "Example Region",
"carrier": "Example Carrier",
"source": "PhoneLookup transform"
})
return [location]
except Exception as e:
status.set_text(f"Error during phone lookup: {str(e)}")
return []
finally:
status.stop_loading(operation_id)
### Custom Helpers Helpers are specialized tools that provide additional investigation capabilities through a dedicated UI interface. To create a custom helper: 1. Create a new file in the `helpers` folder (e.g., `helpers/data_analyzer.py`) 2. Implement your helper class: from PySide6.QtWidgets import (
QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QHBoxLayout, QPushButton,
QTextEdit, QLabel, QComboBox
)
from .base import BaseHelper
from qasync import asyncSlot
class DummyHelper(BaseHelper):
"""A dummy helper for testing"""
name = "Dummy Helper"
description = "A dummy helper for testing"
def setup_ui(self):
"""Initialize the helper's user interface"""
# Create input text area
self.input_label = QLabel("Input:")
self.input_text = QTextEdit()
self.input_text.setPlaceholderText("Enter text to process...")
self.input_text.setMinimumHeight(100)
# Create operation selector
operation_layout = QHBoxLayout()
self.operation_label = QLabel("Operation:")
self.operation_combo = QComboBox()
self.operation_combo.addItems(["Uppercase", "Lowercase", "Title Case"])
operation_layout.addWidget(self.operation_label)
operation_layout.addWidget(self.operation_combo)
# Create process button
self.process_btn = QPushButton("Process")
self.process_btn.clicked.connect(self.process_text)
# Create output text area
self.output_label = QLabel("Output:")
self.output_text = QTextEdit()
self.output_text.setReadOnly(True)
self.output_text.setMinimumHeight(100)
# Add widgets to main layout
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.input_label)
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.input_text)
self.main_layout.addLayout(operation_layout)
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.process_btn)
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.output_label)
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.output_text)
# Set dialog size
self.resize(400, 500)
@asyncSlot()
async def process_text(self):
"""Process the input text based on selected operation"""
text = self.input_text.toPlainText()
operation = self.operation_combo.currentText()
if operation == "Uppercase":
result = text.upper()
elif operation == "Lowercase":
result = text.lower()
else: # Title Case
result = text.title()
self.output_text.setPlainText(result)
