featuretemplated
Featuretemplated is a software design approach in which each feature is modeled as a reusable template that can be instantiated in different products or contexts. A feature template captures the common structure, behavior, and configuration of a feature, with domain-specific details provided as parameters. This promotes reuse and consistency across systems.
At the core, featuretemplated relies on a template library, a parameterization mechanism, and an instantiation process.
Key components typically include a feature template catalog, a parameterization language or schema, a rendering or
Applications span product line engineering, platform development, and multi-tenant applications, where teams want to assemble customized
Benefits include reduced boilerplate, faster onboarding, and improved consistency. Challenges involve managing template complexity, ensuring correct
Examples include templated authentication workflows, templated dashboards that adapt to data sources, and templated integrations that
