Manage template resources and register global templates into an instance.

Overview

Manage template resources and register global templates into an instance. API clients must be tenant-aware, permission-aware, and capable of handling both JSON and binary responses.

Key points

• POST resource upserts by template UUID and resource name.
• The registration endpoint copies a global source into the requesting instance.
• Resources and assignments are copied during registration.
• The returned item has a new tenant UUID.
• Handle duplicate names through the generated unique name.

Endpoints

Recommended procedure

1. Send authentication and instance headers.
2. Validate the request body before transmission.
3. Inspect HTTP status, content type, and structured errors.
4. Log non-sensitive identifiers needed to reproduce failures.

Client requirements

• Check the HTTP status before processing the body.
• Check Content-Type before deciding whether the response is JSON, DOCX, or PDF.
• Do not log authentication tokens or complete client document data.
• Preserve the instance context through every Feradel service-to-service call.
• Treat validation and compilation errors as input or template defects rather than transient network failures.

Troubleshooting

A client treats an error as a file

Check HTTP status and Content-Type before writing the response body to disk.

The same request works in another tenant

Compare instance, owner, token permissions, and object UUIDs.

A route returns an unexpected envelope

The current controllers are not fully standardized; handle HTTP status and documented fields defensively.
