systemprompt-templates

Template registry and management for SystemPrompt.

Overview

This crate provides the core template system for discovering, loading, and rendering HTML templates using Handlebars. It supports a plugin architecture with providers, loaders, extenders, and component renderers.

Modules

builder

Provides TemplateRegistryBuilder for fluent construction of TemplateRegistry instances. Supports chaining with_provider(), with_loader(), with_extender(), with_component(), and with_page_provider() methods.

core_provider

Implements CoreTemplateProvider which discovers HTML templates from a filesystem directory. Reads optional templates.yaml manifests for metadata and infers content types from template name suffixes (-post, -list).

error

Defines TemplateError with variants for common failure modes: NotFound, LoadError, CompileError, RenderError, NoLoader, and NotInitialized.

registry

Core TemplateRegistry struct that coordinates template providers, loaders, extenders, and component renderers. Uses Handlebars for template compilation and rendering. Resolves template conflicts by priority (lower values win).

Usage

use std::sync::Arc;
use systemprompt_templates::{
    CoreTemplateProvider, FileSystemLoader, TemplateRegistryBuilder,
};

async fn setup_templates() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let provider = CoreTemplateProvider::discover_from("./templates").await?;
    let loader = FileSystemLoader::new(vec!["./templates".into()]);

    let registry = TemplateRegistryBuilder::new()
        .with_provider(Arc::new(provider))
        .with_loader(Arc::new(loader))
        .build_and_init()
        .await?;

    let html = registry.render("page", &serde_json::json!({
        "title": "Hello"
    }))?;

    Ok(())
}

Priority System

Templates are resolved by priority where lower values take precedence:
