## 🔧 Template Variables

### Built-in Variables
- `{{_date_}}` → `2025-10-22 10:30:15`
- `{{_file_name_}}` → `user_service` (from user_service.go)
- `{{_camel_case_file_}}` → `UserService`
- `{{_upper_file_}}` → `USER_SERVICE`
- `{{_author_}}` → `Prad`
- `{{_email_}}` → `prad@sonr.io`
- `{{_cursor_}}` → Cursor position after insertion

### Interactive Variables
- `{{_variable_}}` → Prompts for custom input
- `{{_lua:<expr>_}}` → Execute Lua code

### Example
```go
// Template content
func New{{_camel_case_file_}}(id string) *{{_variable_}} {
    {{_cursor_}}
}

// After insertion (file: user_service.go, variable: UserData)
func NewUserService(id string) *UserData {
    | // cursor here
}
```

## 💡 Workflow Examples

### Example 1: Creating a Cosmos SDK Message Handler

**Scenario:** Add a CreatePost transaction to your module

1. **Create file:** `msg_server_create_post.go`
2. **Open picker:** `<C-a><C-t>`
3. **Select:** `[cosmos] msg_server.go.tpl`
4. **Enter variable:** `CreatePost` when prompted
5. **Result:**
```go
func (k msgServer) CreatePost(goCtx context.Context, msg *types.MsgCreatePost) (*types.MsgCreatePostResponse, error) {
    ctx := sdk.UnwrapSDKContext(goCtx)

    // Validate message
    if err := msg.ValidateBasic(); err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    | // cursor here

    return &types.MsgCreatePostResponse{}, nil
}
```

### Example 2: Creating a TanStack Query API

**Scenario:** Add API client for posts

1. **Create file:** `posts.ts`
2. **Open picker:** `<C-a><C-t>`
3. **Select:** `[vite] api.ts.tpl`
4. **Result:** Full API client with:
   - `postsKeys` query key factory
   - `fetchPost(id)` function
   - `createPost(data)` function
   - `usePost(id)` query hook
   - `useCreatePost()` mutation hook

### Example 3: Creating a React Page

**Scenario:** Add a new dashboard page

1. **Create file:** `dashboard.tsx`
2. **Open picker:** `<C-a><C-t>`
3. **Select:** `[vite] page.tsx.tpl`
4. **Result:**
```tsx
export const Route = createFileRoute('/dashboard')({
    component: DashboardPage,
})

function DashboardPage() {
    | // cursor here

    return (
        <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
            <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-6">Dashboard</h1>
        </div>
    )
}
```

## 🎨 Customization

### Adding New Templates

1. **Create template file** in templates directory:
```bash
nvim ~/.config/nvim/templates/vite/form.tsx.tpl
```

2. **Add filetype marker** as first line:
```tsx
;; typescriptreact
```

3. **Write template** with variables:
```tsx
;; typescriptreact
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'

interface {{_camel_case_file_}}FormData {
    {{_cursor_}}
}

export function {{_camel_case_file_}}Form() {
    const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm<{{_camel_case_file_}}FormData>()

    return <form></form>
}
```

4. **Use template:** `<C-a><C-t>` → select your template

### Modifying Configuration

Edit `lua/plugins/template.lua` to change:
- Author name
- Email address
- Template directory
- Custom variable processors

## 📊 Template Statistics

- **Total Templates:** 14
- **Cosmos SDK:** 4 templates
- **Protobuf:** 3 templates
- **Vite/Cloudflare:** 7 templates
- **Lines of Code Saved:** ~300-500 per template usage

## 🚀 Benefits

1. **Consistency** - All code follows same patterns
2. **Speed** - Scaffold in seconds vs minutes
3. **Best Practices** - Templates include proper structure
4. **Documentation** - Auto-included author/date info
5. **Type Safety** - Proper TypeScript/Go types

## 🔥 Pro Tips

1. **Filetype Filtering:** Templates auto-filter by current filetype
2. **Variable Naming:** Use descriptive names for `{{_variable_}}`
3. **Nested Directories:** Organize templates in subdirectories
4. **Custom Markers:** Add your own `{{_custom_}}` variables
5. **Lua Expressions:** Use `{{_lua:vim.fn.getcwd()_}}` for dynamic content
