"""
The :class:`.Sampler` abstract base class (:mod:`abc`) helps you create new
dimod samplers.

Any new dimod sampler must define a subclass of :class:`.Sampler` that implements
abstract properties :attr:`~.Sampler.parameters` and :attr:`~.Sampler.properties`
and one of the abstract methods :meth:`~.Sampler.sample`, :meth:`~.Sampler.sample_ising`,
or :meth:`~.Sampler.sample_qubo`. The :class:`.Sampler` class provides the complementary
methods as mixins and ensures consistent responses.

Implemented sample methods must accept, and warn on, unknown keyword arguments
`**kwargs`. This means that all implemented sample methods must have the
`**kwargs` parameter. :meth:`~.Sampler.remove_unknown_kwargs` is a convenience
method provided for this purpose.

For example, the following steps show how to easily create a dimod sampler. It is
sufficient to implement a single method (in this example the
:meth:`~.Sampler.sample_ising` method) to create a dimod sampler with the
:class:`.Sampler` class.

.. testcode::

    class LinearIsingSampler(dimod.Sampler):

        def sample_ising(self, h, J, **kwargs):
            kwargs = self.remove_unknown_kwargs(**kwargs)
            sample = linear_ising(h, J)
            energy = dimod.ising_energy(sample, h, J)
            return dimod.SampleSet.from_samples([sample], vartype='SPIN', energy=[energy])

        @property
        def properties(self):
            return dict()

        @property
        def parameters(self):
            return dict()

For this example, the implemented sampler :meth:`~.Sampler.sample_ising` can be based on
a simple placeholder function, which returns a sample that minimizes the linear terms:

.. testcode::

    def linear_ising(h, J):
        sample = {}
        for v in h:
            if h[v] < 0:
                sample[v] = +1
            else:
                sample[v] = -1
        return sample


The :class:`.Sampler` ABC provides the other sample methods "for free"
as mixins.

>>> sampler = LinearIsingSampler()
...
... # Implemented by class LinearIsingSampler:
>>> response = sampler.sample_ising({'a': -1}, {})
...
...  # Mixins provided by Sampler class:
>>> sampleset = sampler.sample_qubo({('a', 'a'): 1})
>>> sampleset = sampler.sample(dimod.BinaryQuadraticModel.from_ising({'a': -1}, {}))

Below is a more complex version of the same sampler, where the
:attr:`~.Sampler.properties` and :attr:`~.Sampler.parameters` properties return
non-empty dicts.

.. testcode::

    class FancyLinearIsingSampler(dimod.Sampler):
        def __init__(self):
            self._properties = {'description': 'a simple sampler that only considers the linear terms'}
            self._parameters = {'verbose': []}

        def sample_ising(self, h, J, verbose=False, **kwargs):
            kwargs = self.remove_unknown_kwargs(**kwargs)
            sample = linear_ising(h, J)
            energy = dimod.ising_energy(sample, h, J)
            if verbose:
                print(sample)
            return dimod.SampleSet.from_samples([sample], energy=[energy])

        @property
        def properties(self):
            return self._properties

        @property
        def parameters(self):
            return self._parameters
