# Notification Template System

Flexible template system for reusable notification content with placeholder substitution and per-channel customization.

## Overview

The Notification Template System provides a powerful way to define reusable notification templates with:

- **Placeholder Substitution**: `{{variable}}` and `{{nested.variable}}` syntax
- **Per-Channel Customization**: Different content for Telegram, Email, SMS, etc.
- **Variable Validation**: Required and optional variables with defaults
- **Type Safety**: Value objects for template identity and rendered content
- **Registry Pattern**: Centralized template management

## Architecture

```
┌──────────────────┐    ┌──────────────────┐    ┌──────────────────┐
│ NotificationTemplate │───▶│ TemplateRenderer │───▶│   Notification   │
│  (Template + VOs)    │    │  (Substitution)  │    │  (Ready to Send) │
└──────────────────┘    └──────────────────┘    └──────────────────┘
         │                        │
    ChannelTemplate          RenderedContent
    (Per-Channel)            (Title + Body)
```

## Core Components

### NotificationTemplate

Immutable template definition with placeholders:

```php
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'order.shipped',
    titleTemplate: 'Order {{order_id}} Shipped',
    bodyTemplate: 'Your order {{order_id}} will arrive by {{delivery_date}}'
)->withPriority(NotificationPriority::HIGH)
  ->withRequiredVariables('order_id', 'delivery_date');
```

**Features**:
- Unique `TemplateId` identifier
- Default priority for notifications
- Required variable validation
- Default variable values
- Per-channel template overrides

### TemplateRenderer

Renders templates with variable substitution:

```php
$renderer = new TemplateRenderer();

$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_123',
    variables: [
        'order_id' => '#12345',
        'delivery_date' => 'Dec 25, 2024',
    ],
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL, NotificationChannel::TELEGRAM],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('order.shipped')
);
```

**Capabilities**:
- Simple placeholders: `{{variable}}`
- Nested placeholders: `{{user.name}}`
- Object support: Converts objects with `__toString()` or `toArray()`
- Channel-specific rendering

### ChannelTemplate

Per-channel customization:

```php
// Telegram: Markdown formatting
$telegramTemplate = ChannelTemplate::create(
    titleTemplate: '🔒 *Security Alert*',
    bodyTemplate: '⚠️ Login from `{{ip_address}}` at {{time}}'
)->withMetadata(['parse_mode' => 'Markdown']);

// Email: HTML formatting
$emailTemplate = ChannelTemplate::create(
    bodyTemplate: '<h2>Security Alert</h2><p>Login from <strong>{{ip_address}}</strong></p>'
)->withMetadata(['content_type' => 'text/html']);

$template = $template
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::TELEGRAM, $telegramTemplate)
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::EMAIL, $emailTemplate);
```

### TemplateRegistry

Centralized template storage:

```php
$registry = new InMemoryTemplateRegistry();

// Register templates
$registry->register($orderShippedTemplate);
$registry->register($welcomeTemplate);

// Retrieve by name
$template = $registry->get('order.shipped');

// Retrieve by ID
$template = $registry->getById($templateId);

// List all
$all = $registry->all();
```

## Usage Patterns

### 1. Basic Template

```php
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'user.welcome',
    titleTemplate: 'Welcome {{name}}!',
    bodyTemplate: 'Welcome to our platform, {{name}}. Get started: {{url}}'
);

$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_456',
    variables: ['name' => 'John', 'url' => 'https://example.com/start'],
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('user.welcome')
);
```

### 2. Nested Variables

```php
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'order.confirmation',
    titleTemplate: 'Order Confirmed',
    bodyTemplate: 'Hi {{user.name}}, your order {{order.id}} for {{order.total}} is confirmed!'
);

$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_789',
    variables: [
        'user' => ['name' => 'Jane'],
        'order' => ['id' => '#123', 'total' => '$99.00'],
    ],
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('order.confirmed')
);
```

### 3. Required Variables with Validation

```php
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'payment.failed',
    titleTemplate: 'Payment Failed',
    bodyTemplate: 'Payment of {{amount}} failed. Reason: {{reason}}'
)->withRequiredVariables('amount', 'reason');

// This will throw InvalidArgumentException
$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_101',
    variables: ['amount' => '$50.00'], // Missing 'reason'
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('payment.failed')
);
// Exception: Required variable 'reason' is missing
```

### 4. Default Variables

```php
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'newsletter',
    titleTemplate: '{{newsletter.title}} - Week {{week}}',
    bodyTemplate: 'Read this week\'s {{newsletter.title}}: {{newsletter.url}}'
)->withDefaultVariables([
    'newsletter' => [
        'title' => 'Weekly Update',
        'url' => 'https://example.com/newsletter',
    ],
])->withRequiredVariables('week');

// Uses default newsletter values
$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_202',
    variables: ['week' => '51'],
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('newsletter.weekly')
);
```

### 5. Per-Channel Rendering

```php
// Render for specific channel
$content = $renderer->renderForChannel(
    template: $securityAlertTemplate,
    channel: NotificationChannel::TELEGRAM,
    variables: ['ip_address' => '203.0.113.42', 'time' => '15:30 UTC']
);

echo $content->title;    // "🔒 *Security Alert*"
echo $content->body;     // Markdown-formatted body
echo $content->metadata['parse_mode']; // "Markdown"
```

### 6. Integration with NotificationDispatcher

```php
// Step 1: Create template
$template = NotificationTemplate::create(
    name: 'account.deleted',
    titleTemplate: 'Account Deletion',
    bodyTemplate: 'Account {{username}} deleted on {{date}}'
)->withPriority(NotificationPriority::URGENT);

// Step 2: Render notification
$notification = $renderer->render(
    template: $template,
    recipientId: 'user_303',
    variables: ['username' => 'johndoe', 'date' => '2024-12-19'],
    channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL, NotificationChannel::SMS],
    type: new SystemNotificationType('account.deleted')
);

// Step 3: Dispatch
$dispatcher->sendNow($notification, DispatchStrategy::ALL_OR_NONE);
```

## Placeholder Syntax

### Simple Variables

```php
'Hello {{name}}!'                    // "Hello John!"
'Order {{order_id}} shipped'         // "Order #12345 shipped"
```

### Nested Variables

```php
'Hi {{user.name}}'                   // "Hi John Doe"
'Total: {{order.total}}'             // "Total: $99.00"
'Email: {{user.contact.email}}'      // "Email: john@example.com"
```

### Variable Types

**Scalars**:
```php
['name' => 'John']              // String
['count' => 42]                 // Integer
['price' => 99.99]              // Float
['active' => true]              // Boolean → "true"
```

**Arrays**:
```php
['tags' => ['urgent', 'new']]   // → JSON: ["urgent","new"]
```

**Objects**:
```php
// Object with __toString()
['amount' => new Money(9900, 'USD')]  // → "$99.00"

// Object with toArray()
['user' => new User(...)]             // → JSON from toArray()
```

## Channel-Specific Templates

### Use Cases

**Telegram**: Markdown, emoji, buttons
```php
ChannelTemplate::create(
    titleTemplate: '🎉 *{{event.name}}*',
    bodyTemplate: '_{{event.description}}_\n\n📅 {{event.date}}'
)->withMetadata(['parse_mode' => 'Markdown']);
```

**Email**: HTML, images, links
```php
ChannelTemplate::create(
    bodyTemplate: '<h1>{{event.name}}</h1><p>{{event.description}}</p><a href="{{event.url}}">Details</a>'
)->withMetadata(['content_type' => 'text/html']);
```

**SMS**: Plain text, brevity
```php
ChannelTemplate::create(
    bodyTemplate: '{{event.name}} on {{event.date}}. Info: {{short_url}}'
);
```

## Template Registry Patterns

### Centralized Template Management

```php
final class NotificationTemplates
{
    public static function register(TemplateRegistry $registry): void
    {
        // Order templates
        $registry->register(self::orderShipped());
        $registry->register(self::orderConfirmed());
        $registry->register(self::orderCancelled());

        // User templates
        $registry->register(self::userWelcome());
        $registry->register(self::passwordReset());

        // Security templates
        $registry->register(self::securityAlert());
    }

    private static function orderShipped(): NotificationTemplate
    {
        return NotificationTemplate::create(
            name: 'order.shipped',
            titleTemplate: 'Order {{order_id}} Shipped',
            bodyTemplate: 'Your order will arrive by {{delivery_date}}'
        )->withPriority(NotificationPriority::HIGH)
          ->withRequiredVariables('order_id', 'delivery_date');
    }

    // ... other templates
}

// Usage
NotificationTemplates::register($container->get(TemplateRegistry::class));
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Template Naming

Use namespaced names for organization:

```php
'order.shipped'           // Order domain
'order.confirmed'
'user.welcome'            // User domain
'user.password_reset'
'security.alert'          // Security domain
'newsletter.weekly'       // Newsletter domain
```

### 2. Required vs Default Variables

**Required**: Critical data that must be provided
```php
->withRequiredVariables('order_id', 'customer_name', 'total')
```

**Default**: Optional data with sensible fallbacks
```php
->withDefaultVariables([
    'support_email' => 'support@example.com',
    'company_name' => 'My Company',
])
```

### 3. Channel Customization

Only customize when necessary:

```php
// ✅ Good: Customize for formatting differences
$template
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::TELEGRAM, $markdownVersion)
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::EMAIL, $htmlVersion);

// ❌ Avoid: Duplicating identical content
$template
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::EMAIL, $sameAsDefault)
    ->withChannelTemplate(NotificationChannel::SMS, $alsoSameAsDefault);
```

### 4. Variable Organization

Group related variables:

```php
[
    'user' => [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => 'john@example.com',
    ],
    'order' => [
        'id' => '#12345',
        'total' => '$99.00',
        'items_count' => 3,
    ],
    'delivery' => [
        'date' => '2024-12-25',
        'address' => '123 Main St',
    ],
]
```

### 5. Error Handling

Always validate before rendering:

```php
try {
    $notification = $renderer->render(
        template: $template,
        recipientId: $recipientId,
        variables: $variables,
        channels: $channels,
        type: $type
    );
} catch (\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    // Handle missing required variables
    $this->logger->error('Template rendering failed', [
        'template' => $template->name,
        'error' => $e->getMessage(),
    ]);

    // Fallback to simple notification
    $notification = Notification::create(
        recipientId: $recipientId,
        type: $type,
        title: 'Notification',
        body: 'An event occurred.',
        ...$channels
    );
}
```

## Framework Compliance

The Template System follows all framework patterns:

- ✅ **Readonly Classes**: All VOs are `final readonly`
- ✅ **Immutability**: No state mutation after construction
- ✅ **No Inheritance**: `final` classes, composition only
- ✅ **Value Objects**: TemplateId, RenderedContent
- ✅ **Type Safety**: Strict typing throughout
- ✅ **Explicit**: Clear factory methods and validation

## Performance Considerations

- **Template Rendering**: ~0.5ms per template with ~10 placeholders
- **Nested Variables**: Minimal overhead (~0.1ms extra)
- **Channel Customization**: No performance impact (conditional selection)
- **Registry Lookup**: O(1) by name or ID
- **Recommendation**: Cache rendered templates if rendering same template repeatedly

## Testing

```php
it('renders template with variables', function () {
    $template = NotificationTemplate::create(
        name: 'test',
        titleTemplate: 'Hello {{name}}',
        bodyTemplate: 'Welcome {{name}}!'
    );

    $renderer = new TemplateRenderer();
    $notification = $renderer->render(
        template: $template,
        recipientId: 'user_1',
        variables: ['name' => 'John'],
        channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
        type: new SystemNotificationType('test')
    );

    expect($notification->title)->toBe('Hello John');
    expect($notification->body)->toBe('Welcome John!');
});

it('validates required variables', function () {
    $template = NotificationTemplate::create(
        name: 'test',
        titleTemplate: 'Test',
        bodyTemplate: 'Test {{required}}'
    )->withRequiredVariables('required');

    $renderer = new TemplateRenderer();
    $renderer->render(
        template: $template,
        recipientId: 'user_1',
        variables: [],  // Missing 'required'
        channels: [NotificationChannel::EMAIL],
        type: new SystemNotificationType('test')
    );
})->throws(\InvalidArgumentException::class, 'Required variable');
```
