User Story

As a template author, I want a well-defined manifest schema (v2) so that I can use computed variables, transforms, and advanced prompt validation with clear documentation.

Design

Schema Version

Add explicit schema version for forward compatibility:

schemaVersion: 2

Full Manifest v2 Schema

schemaVersion: 2
id: qqq-web-api
name: QQQ Web API
version: 1.0.0
description: Web API application with Javalin middleware
minimumQctlVersion: 0.2.0

prompts:
  - name: packageName
    message: "Java package"
    type: string
    default: "com.example.myapp"
    required: true
    validation:
      pattern: "^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(\\.[a-z][a-z0-9]*)*$"
      message: "Must be a valid Java package name"
  - name: appName
    message: "Application name"
    type: string
    default: "myApp"
    required: true
  - name: includeDocker
    message: "Include Dockerfile?"
    type: boolean
    default: true

computed:
  packagePath: "${packageName.replace('.', '/')}"
  appClassName: "${str.pascal($appName)}App"

transforms:
  - type: move
    from: "src/main/java/com/example/template"
    to: "src/main/java/${packagePath}"

conditionals:
  - condition: "${includeDocker}"
    include:
      - "Dockerfile"
      - "docker-compose.yml"

postGen:
  - name: build
    command: "mvn clean compile -DskipTests"
    workDir: "."
    optional: false
    phase: build
  - name: format
    command: "mvn spotless:apply"
    phase: format

ignore:
  - ".git"
  - "*.bak"
  - "template.yaml"

New Fields

Field Type Description
schemaVersion int Manifest schema version (2)
minimumQctlVersion string Minimum qctl version required
prompts[].required boolean Whether prompt is required
prompts[].validation object Validation rules
computed map Computed variable definitions
transforms list Directory/file transformation rules
conditionals list Conditional file inclusion
postGen[].phase string Execution phase (build, format, test)

Files to Create/Modify

File Action Description
TemplateManifest.java Modify Add all v2 fields
ManifestValidator.java Create Validates manifest against schema
PromptValidation.java Create Validation rule record
Conditional.java Create Conditional inclusion record
docs/template-manifest-v2.md Create Schema documentation

Implementation Tasks

  • Add schemaVersion field with default value handling
  • Add minimumQctlVersion field and version check
  • Add required and validation fields to Prompt record
  • Create PromptValidation record with pattern and message
  • Add computed field (Map<String, String>)
  • Add transforms field (List)
  • Create Conditional record with condition and include/exclude
  • Add conditionals field
  • Add phase field to PostGenHook
  • Create ManifestValidator for schema validation
  • Handle schema version migration (v1 -> v2)
  • Write comprehensive schema documentation
  • Add unit tests for all new fields
  • Add integration test with full v2 manifest

Acceptance Criteria

  • v1 manifests continue to work (backward compatible)
  • v2 manifests parse all new fields correctly
  • Schema validation catches invalid manifests
  • minimumQctlVersion enforced with clear error
  • Documentation covers all fields with examples
  • JSON Schema generated for IDE support (optional)

Implementation Approach

Simplified scope focusing on schema housekeeping:

In Scope

  1. schemaVersion field with v1 backward compatibility
  2. minimumQctlVersion with version check at init time
  3. prompts[].required field
  4. postGen[].phase field

Deferred

  • prompts[].validation → #24 (Add prompt validation)
  • conditionals → Future story (new feature complexity)

Files to Modify

  • TemplateManifest.java - Add new fields
  • TemplatesHub.java - Add fields to TemplateEntry
  • InitCommand.java - Add version check logic

Implementation Complete

Story #21 has been implemented with simplified scope:

Changes Made

  • Added schemaVersion field (Integer) to TemplateManifest and TemplateEntry
  • Added minimumQctlVersion field with version check in InitCommand
  • Added required field (Boolean) to Prompt record
  • Added phase field (String) to PostGenHook record
  • Added getEffectiveSchemaVersion() helper method (defaults to 1 for backward compat)
  • Added isVersionSatisfied() and parseVersion() helpers in InitCommand

Deferred to Other Stories

  • prompts[].validation → Story #24 (Add prompt validation)
  • Conditional fields → Future story

Files Modified

  • TemplateManifest.java - Added schema v2 fields
  • TemplatesHub.java - Updated TemplateEntry record
  • InitCommand.java - Added version check logic
  • TemplateEngineTest.java - Updated constructor calls

All tests pass.
