Yep I might’ve forgotten to delete that. There’s another file with the correct name that’s actually being used in the code, so the misspelled one is redundant. I’ll clean it up 🙂

Summary:
This pr closes #1500
Templates feature extended to desktop
Created a template module that interacts with the local filesystem to store templates. All other workflows are essentially the same as the web version. The key difference is that when the frontend/Vuex store makes an API call, the desktop provider checks the current environment and routes the call via IPC (Inter-Process Communication) to the Node.js process running inside Electron, rather than hitting the Express REST API.
Read-only mode for manage templates portal is added and it is useful for teams sharing templates via a network folder or SharePoint where write access may be restricted. Users can point the app to an existing templates folder, set a custom location, or use the default path. This configuration is documented in the usage guide.
functionality to export templates onto local file system is now available for desktop users
Admin middleware
Previously, admin checks were being handled individually at the controller level on each endpoint. Extracted this into a dedicated
adminMiddlewarefunction and applied it centrally in the route configuration, so authorisation is enforced in one place.Normalised template states
With the addition of desktop templates, the status model needed to work across both the filesystem (desktop) and GitHub repositories (web). Unified the status states (
NOT_CONFIGURED,NOT_INITIALIZED,NOT_FOUND, ) acrossManageTemplates.vue,TemplateGallery.vue, andtemplateController.js. A separatecanWriteflag handles read-only state rather than a distinct status code.Test coverage
Added unit tests for
TemplateGallery,ManageTemplates,ExportTemplate,templateApi, and thetemplateVuex module.i18n strings
Reorganised i18n strings into clearly named objects. Removed redundant unused definitions and renamed keys for clarity.
Description for the changelog:
Extended templates feature to be compatible with desktop deployment, including local filesystem storage, read-only mode, and IPC-based communication between the frontend and Electron main process.
Declaration:
Thanks for submitting a pull request, please make sure:
(need to add unit tests for the template module that communicates with local file system)
