Special notes for your reviewer:

Mainly check on Use Cases of Get a template and Delete a template, (get dataset templates and create template was implemented before)
I ignored some Copilot review now, Copilot has some comments about the naming confusion between Template and Dataset Template. I tried to keep it calling Template instead of Dataset Template, besides getDatasetTemplates use case

YES

CHANGELOG.md

Copilot · 2026-01-08T00:24:09Z

src/templates/domain/repositories/ITemplatesRepository.ts

+import { Template } from '../models/Template'
+
+export interface ITemplatesRepository {
+  createDatasetTemplate(


Naming inconsistency: The repository method is named createDatasetTemplate but the domain model is just Template (not DatasetTemplate). For consistency with the new template domain naming (where the model is Template and the use case is CreateTemplate), consider renaming this method to createTemplate.

Suggested change

createDatasetTemplate(

createTemplate(

I think this suggested change from createDatasetTemplate() to createTemplate() makes sense, given that the object is a Template, and now that the other method has changed to getTemplatesByCollectionId(). What do you think?

Looks good! I just have some suggestions about the naming conventions

ekraffmiller · 2026-01-09T20:26:25Z

src/templates/domain/repositories/ITemplatesRepository.ts

+    template: CreateDatasetTemplateDTO
+  ): Promise<void>
+  getTemplate(templateId: number): Promise<Template>
+  getDatasetTemplates(collectionIdOrAlias: number | string): Promise<Template[]>


The naming of the two get functions are a little confusing. At first glance, it seems like getDatasetTemplates() may be returning all Templates for a Dataset.
Instead of getDatasetTemplates(), can we change it to getTemplatesByCollectionId()? That way it is more clear what is being returned.

ekraffmiller · 2026-01-09T20:35:38Z

src/templates/domain/useCases/CreateTemplate.ts

-   * Creates a Dataset Template in the specified collection.
+   * Creates a template in the specified collection.
   *
   * @param {CreateDatasetTemplateDTO} template - Template definition payload.


Suggested change

* @param {CreateDatasetTemplateDTO} template - Template definition payload.

* @param {CreateTemplateDTO} template - Template definition payload.

Hi @ChengShi-1 , thanks for the updates, I have a couple more comments, let me know what you think :)

+- [Templates](#Templates)
+  - [Templates read use cases](#templates-read-use-cases)

Need to update the useCase docs with the new function name
