Struct TemplateConfig 

pub struct TemplateConfig {
    pub names: NameTemplateConfig,
    pub descriptions: DescriptionTemplateConfig,
    pub references: ReferenceTemplateConfig,
    pub path: Option<PathBuf>,
    pub merge_strategy: TemplateMergeStrategy,
}

Template configuration for realistic data generation.

User-supplied template packs (v3.2.0+)

Set path to a directory (or single YAML/JSON file) to override or extend the embedded default pools for vendor names, customer names, material/asset descriptions, audit findings, bank names, and department names. When path is None (the default), generators use the compiled-in pools and output is byte-identical to v3.1.2.

See crates/datasynth-core/src/templates/loader.rs::TemplateData for the full YAML schema. Use datasynth-data templates export to dump the defaults as a starter pack.

Fields

names: NameTemplateConfig

Name generation settings

descriptions: DescriptionTemplateConfig

Description generation settings

references: ReferenceTemplateConfig

Reference number settings

path: Option<PathBuf>

Optional path to a user-supplied template file or directory. When set, entries from the file(s) augment or replace the embedded defaults according to merge_strategy.

None (default) = use embedded pools only (byte-identical to v3.1.2).

merge_strategy: TemplateMergeStrategy

How file-based entries combine with embedded defaults.

• extend (default): append file entries to embedded pools, de-duplicating. Safe for incremental overlays.
• replace: discard embedded pools entirely and use only file entries. Requires a fully-populated template file.
• merge_prefer_file: replace individual categories when present in the file; keep embedded for absent categories.
