# Dynamic Templates Implementation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
The frontend now fetches templates dynamically from the database instead of using static templates. This allows for real-time template management and custom template creation.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. Template Service (`src/lib/template-service.ts`)
|
|
- Created service to communicate with the template-manager API
|
|
- Handles fetching templates by category, individual templates, and creating new templates
|
|
- Includes TypeScript interfaces for type safety
|
|
|
|
### 2. Custom Hook (`src/hooks/useTemplates.ts`)
|
|
- Manages template data fetching and state
|
|
- Converts database templates to UI format
|
|
- Handles loading states and error handling
|
|
- Provides template feature fetching
|
|
|
|
### 3. Custom Template Form (`src/components/custom-template-form.tsx`)
|
|
- Form component for creating new templates
|
|
- Includes all required fields: type, title, description, category
|
|
- Optional fields: icon, gradient, border, text, subtext
|
|
- Validates required fields before submission
|
|
|
|
### 4. Updated Main Dashboard (`src/components/main-dashboard.tsx`)
|
|
- Replaced static templates with dynamic database templates
|
|
- Added loading and error states
|
|
- Dynamic category generation based on available templates
|
|
- Custom template creation functionality
|
|
- Fallback to static templates if database is unavailable
|
|
|
|
### 5. UI Components
|
|
- Added `textarea.tsx` component for form inputs
|
|
- Enhanced existing components with proper styling
|
|
|
|
## API Integration
|
|
|
|
### Template Manager Service
|
|
- **Base URL**: `http://localhost:8009`
|
|
- **Endpoints**:
|
|
- `GET /api/templates` - Get all templates grouped by category
|
|
- `GET /api/templates/:id` - Get specific template with features
|
|
- `GET /api/templates/type/:type` - Get template by type
|
|
- `POST /api/templates` - Create new template
|
|
|
|
### Database Schema
|
|
Templates are stored in PostgreSQL with the following structure:
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE TABLE templates (
|
|
id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
|
|
type VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE,
|
|
title VARCHAR(200),
|
|
description TEXT,
|
|
category VARCHAR(100),
|
|
icon VARCHAR(50),
|
|
gradient VARCHAR(100),
|
|
border VARCHAR(100),
|
|
text VARCHAR(100),
|
|
subtext VARCHAR(100),
|
|
is_active BOOLEAN,
|
|
created_at TIMESTAMP,
|
|
updated_at TIMESTAMP
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Viewing Templates
|
|
1. Templates are automatically loaded from the database on page load
|
|
2. If database is unavailable, fallback static templates are shown
|
|
3. Templates are grouped by category dynamically
|
|
|
|
### Creating Custom Templates
|
|
1. Click "Create Custom Template" button
|
|
2. Fill in required fields (type, title, description, category)
|
|
3. Optionally add styling fields (icon, gradient, border, text, subtext)
|
|
4. Submit to create the template in the database
|
|
5. Template will appear in the list after creation
|
|
|
|
### Template Features
|
|
- Each template can have associated features stored in `template_features` table
|
|
- Features are fetched when a template is selected
|
|
- Features include complexity, type, and usage statistics
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
- Network errors show retry button
|
|
- Loading states with spinner
|
|
- Graceful fallback to static templates
|
|
- Form validation for required fields
|
|
|
|
