@keras_export("keras.layers.JaxLayer")
class JaxLayer(Layer):
    """Keras Layer that wraps a JAX model.

    This layer enables the use of JAX components within Keras when using JAX as
    the backend for Keras.

    ## Model function

    This layer accepts JAX models in the form of a function, `call_fn`, which
    must take the following arguments with these exact names:

    - `params`: trainable parameters of the model.
    - `state` (*optional*): non-trainable state of the model. Can be omitted if
        the model has no non-trainable state.
    - `rng` (*optional*): a `jax.random.PRNGKey` instance. Can be omitted if the
        model does not need RNGs, neither during training nor during inference.
    - `inputs`: inputs to the model, a JAX array or a `PyTree` of arrays.
    - `training` (*optional*): an argument specifying if we're in training mode
        or inference mode, `True` is passed in training mode. Can be omitted if
        the model behaves the same in training mode and inference mode.

    The `inputs` argument is mandatory. Inputs to the model must be provided via
    a single argument. If the JAX model takes multiple inputs as separate
    arguments, they must be combined into a single structure, for instance in a
    `tuple` or a `dict`.

    ## Model weights initialization

    The initialization of the `params` and `state` of the model can be handled
    by this layer, in which case the `init_fn` argument must be provided. This
    allows the model to be initialized dynamically with the right shape.
    Alternatively, and if the shape is known, the `params` argument and
    optionally the `state` argument can be used to create an already initialized
    model.

    The `init_fn` function, if provided, must take the following arguments with
    these exact names:

    - `rng`: a `jax.random.PRNGKey` instance.
    - `inputs`: a JAX array or a `PyTree` of arrays with placeholder values to
        provide the shape of the inputs.
    - `training` (*optional*): an argument specifying if we're in training mode
        or inference mode. `True` is always passed to `init_fn`. Can be omitted
        regardless of whether `call_fn` has a `training` argument.

    ## Models with non-trainable state

    For JAX models that have non-trainable state:

    - `call_fn` must have a `state` argument
    - `call_fn` must return a `tuple` containing the outputs of the model and
        the new non-trainable state of the model
    - `init_fn` must return a `tuple` containing the initial trainable params of
        the model and the initial non-trainable state of the model.

    This code shows a possible combination of `call_fn` and `init_fn` signatures
    for a model with non-trainable state. In this example, the model has a
    `training` argument and an `rng` argument in `call_fn`.

    ```python
    def stateful_call(params, state, rng, inputs, training):
        outputs = ...
        new_state = ...
        return outputs, new_state

    def stateful_init(rng, inputs):
        initial_params = ...
        initial_state = ...
        return initial_params, initial_state
    ```

    ## Models without non-trainable state

    For JAX models with no non-trainable state:

    - `call_fn` must not have a `state` argument
    - `call_fn` must return only the outputs of the model
    - `init_fn` must return only the initial trainable params of the model.

    This code shows a possible combination of `call_fn` and `init_fn` signatures
    for a model without non-trainable state. In this example, the model does not
    have a `training` argument and does not have an `rng` argument in `call_fn`.

    ```python
    def stateless_call(params, inputs):
        outputs = ...
        return outputs

    def stateless_init(rng, inputs):
        initial_params = ...
        return initial_params
    ```

    ## Conforming to the required signature

    If a model has a different signature than the one required by `JaxLayer`,
    one can easily write a wrapper method to adapt the arguments. This example
    shows a model that has multiple inputs as separate arguments, expects
    multiple RNGs in a `dict`, and has a `deterministic` argument with the
    opposite meaning of `training`. To conform, the inputs are combined in a
    single structure using a `tuple`, the RNG is split and used the populate the
    expected `dict`, and the Boolean flag is negated:

    ```python
    def my_model_fn(params, rngs, input1, input2, deterministic):
        ...
        if not deterministic:
            dropout_rng = rngs["dropout"]
            keep = jax.random.bernoulli(dropout_rng, dropout_rate, x.shape)
            x = jax.numpy.where(keep, x / dropout_rate, 0)
            ...
        ...
        return outputs

    def my_model_wrapper_fn(params, rng, inputs, training):
        input1, input2 = inputs
        rng1, rng2 = jax.random.split(rng)
        rngs = {"dropout": rng1, "preprocessing": rng2}
        deterministic = not training
        return my_model_fn(params, rngs, input1, input2, deterministic)

    keras_layer = JaxLayer(my_model_wrapper_fn, params=initial_params)
    ```

    ## Usage with Haiku modules

    `JaxLayer` enables the use of [Haiku](https://dm-haiku.readthedocs.io)
    components in the form of
    [`haiku.Module`](https://dm-haiku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#module).
    This is achieved by transforming the module per the Haiku pattern and then
    passing `module.apply` in the `call_fn` parameter and `module.init` in the
    `init_fn` parameter if needed.

    If the model has non-trainable state, it should be transformed with
    [`haiku.transform_with_state`](
      https://dm-haiku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#haiku.transform_with_state).
    If the model has no non-trainable state, it should be transformed with
    [`haiku.transform`](
      https://dm-haiku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#haiku.transform).
    Additionally, and optionally, if the module does not use RNGs in "apply", it
    can be transformed with
    [`haiku.without_apply_rng`](
      https://dm-haiku.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#without-apply-rng).

    The following example shows how to create a `JaxLayer` from a Haiku module
    that uses random number generators via `hk.next_rng_key()` and takes a
    training positional argument:

    ```python
    class MyHaikuModule(hk.Module):
        def __call__(self, x, training):
            x = hk.Conv2D(32, (3, 3))(x)
            x = jax.nn.relu(x)
            x = hk.AvgPool((1, 2, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2, 1), "VALID")(x)
            x = hk.Flatten()(x)
            x = hk.Linear(200)(x)
            if training:
                x = hk.dropout(rng=hk.next_rng_key(), rate=0.3, x=x)
            x = jax.nn.relu(x)
            x = hk.Linear(10)(x)
            x = jax.nn.softmax(x)
            return x

    def my_haiku_module_fn(inputs, training):
        module = MyHaikuModule()
        return module(inputs, training)

    transformed_module = hk.transform(my_haiku_module_fn)

@keras_export("keras.layers.FlaxLayer")
class FlaxLayer(JaxLayer):
    """Keras Layer that wraps a [Flax](https://flax.readthedocs.io) module.

    This layer enables the use of Flax components in the form of
    [`flax.linen.Module`](
        https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/flax.linen/module.html)
    instances within Keras when using JAX as the backend for Keras.

    The module method to use for the forward pass can be specified via the
    `method` argument and is `__call__` by default. This method must take the
    following arguments with these exact names:

    - `self` if the method is bound to the module, which is the case for the
        default of `__call__`, and `module` otherwise to pass the module.
    - `inputs`: the inputs to the model, a JAX array or a `PyTree` of arrays.
    - `training` *(optional)*: an argument specifying if we're in training mode
        or inference mode, `True` is passed in training mode.

    `FlaxLayer` handles the non-trainable state of your model and required RNGs
    automatically. Note that the `mutable` parameter of
    [`flax.linen.Module.apply()`](
        https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/flax.linen/module.html#flax.linen.apply)
    is set to `DenyList(["params"])`, therefore making the assumption that all
    the variables outside of the "params" collection are non-trainable weights.

    This example shows how to create a `FlaxLayer` from a Flax `Module` with
    the default `__call__` method and no training argument:

    ```python
    class MyFlaxModule(flax.linen.Module):
        @flax.linen.compact
        def __call__(self, inputs):
            x = inputs
            x = flax.linen.Conv(features=32, kernel_size=(3, 3))(x)
            x = flax.linen.relu(x)
            x = flax.linen.avg_pool(x, window_shape=(2, 2), strides=(2, 2))
            x = x.reshape((x.shape[0], -1))  # flatten
            x = flax.linen.Dense(features=200)(x)
            x = flax.linen.relu(x)
            x = flax.linen.Dense(features=10)(x)
            x = flax.linen.softmax(x)
            return x

    flax_module = MyFlaxModule()
    keras_layer = FlaxLayer(flax_module)
    ```

    This example shows how to wrap the module method to conform to the required
    signature. This allows having multiple input arguments and a training
    argument that has a different name and values. This additionally shows how
    to use a function that is not bound to the module.

    ```python
    class MyFlaxModule(flax.linen.Module):
        @flax.linen.compact
        def forward(self, input1, input2, deterministic):
            ...
            return outputs

    def my_flax_module_wrapper(module, inputs, training):
        input1, input2 = inputs
        return module.forward(input1, input2, not training)

    flax_module = MyFlaxModule()
    keras_layer = FlaxLayer(
        module=flax_module,
        method=my_flax_module_wrapper,
    )
    ```

    Args:
        module: An instance of `flax.linen.Module` or subclass.
        method: The method to call the model. This is generally a method in the
            `Module`. If not provided, the `__call__` method is used. `method`
            can also be a function not defined in the `Module`, in which case it
            must take the `Module` as the first argument. It is used for both
            `Module.init` and `Module.apply`. Details are documented in the
            `method` argument of [`flax.linen.Module.apply()`](
              https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/flax.linen/module.html#flax.linen.apply).
        variables: A `dict` containing all the variables of the module in the
            same format as what is returned by [`flax.linen.Module.init()`](
              https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/flax.linen/module.html#flax.linen.init).
            It should contain a "params" key and, if applicable, other keys for
            collections of variables for non-trainable state. This allows
            passing trained parameters and learned non-trainable state or
            controlling the initialization. If `None` is passed, the module's
            `init` function is called at build time to initialize the variables
            of the model.
