"""This section describes unitxt operators.

Operators: Building Blocks of Unitxt Processing Pipelines
==============================================================

Within the Unitxt framework, operators serve as the foundational elements used to assemble processing pipelines.
Each operator is designed to perform specific manipulations on dictionary structures within a stream.
These operators are callable entities that receive a MultiStream as input.
The output is a MultiStream, augmented with the operator's manipulations, which are then systematically applied to each instance in the stream when pulled.

Creating Custom Operators
-------------------------------
To enhance the functionality of Unitxt, users are encouraged to develop custom operators.
This can be achieved by inheriting from any of the existing operators listed below or from one of the fundamental :class:`base operators<unitxt.operator>`.
The primary task in any operator development is to implement the `process` function, which defines the unique manipulations the operator will perform.

General or Specelized Operators
--------------------------------
Some operators are specielized in specific task such as:

- :class:`loaders<unitxt.loaders>` for loading data.
- :class:`splitters<unitxt.splitters>` for fixing data splits.

Other specelized operators are used by unitxt internally:

- :class:`templates<unitxt.templates>` for verbalizing data examples.
- :class:`formats<unitxt.formats>` for preparing data for models.

The rest of this section is dedicated for general operators.

class MapInstanceValues(StreamInstanceOperator):
    """A class used to map instance values into other values.

    This class is a type of StreamInstanceOperator,
    it maps values of instances in a stream using predefined mappers.

    Attributes:
        mappers (Dict[str, Dict[str, str]]): The mappers to use for mapping instance values.
            Keys are the names of the fields to be mapped, and values are dictionaries
            that define the mapping from old values to new values.
        strict (bool): If True, the mapping is applied strictly. That means if a value
            does not exist in the mapper, it will raise a KeyError. If False, values
            that are not present in the mapper are kept as they are.
        process_every_value (bool): If True, all fields to be mapped should be lists, and the mapping
            is to be applied to their individual elements. If False, mapping is only applied to a field
            containing a single value.

    Examples:
        MapInstanceValues(mappers={"a": {"1": "hi", "2": "bye"}})
        replaces '1' with 'hi' and '2' with 'bye' in field 'a' in all instances of all streams:
        instance {"a":"1", "b": 2} becomes {"a":"hi", "b": 2}.

        MapInstanceValues(mappers={"a": {"1": "hi", "2": "bye"}}, process_every_element=True)
        Assuming field 'a' is a list of values, potentially including "1"-s and "2"-s, this replaces
        each such "1" with "hi" and "2" -- with "bye" in all instances of all streams:
        instance {"a": ["1", "2"], "b": 2} becomes {"a": ["hi", "bye"], "b": 2}.

        MapInstanceValues(mappers={"a": {"1": "hi", "2": "bye"}}, strict=True)
        To ensure that all values of field 'a' are mapped in every instance, use strict=True.
        Input instance {"a":"3", "b": 2} will raise an exception per the above call,
        because "3" is not a key in the mapper of "a".

        MapInstanceValues(mappers={"a": {str([1,2,3,4]): 'All', str([]): 'None'}}, strict=True)
        replaces a list [1,2,3,4] with the string 'All' and an empty list by string 'None'.
        Note that mapped values are defined by their string representation, so mapped values
        must be converted to strings.
