How to use from the command line:

jcb render dictionary_of_templates.yaml jedi_config.yaml

The below shows two examples of calling jcb from a python client. In each case you have to provide a dictionary that describes all the ways that you want to render the templates in the contained JEDI YAML files.

First jcb provides a convenient single line call passing in the dictionary of templated and getting back the dictionary. The dictionary of templates has to contain an algorithm key telling the system which JEDI algorithm you want to run.

import jcb

jedi_config_dict = jcb.render(dictionary_of_templates)

For situations where you wish to create YAML files for several algorithms using the same dictionary of templates you can access the class directly.

import jcb

jcb_obj = jcb.Renderer(dictionary_of_templates)
jedi_dict_2_a = jcb_obj.render('hofx4d')
jedi_dict_2_b = jcb_obj.render('variational')
