# Templates — `star.templates`

Source controller: [`TemplatesController.cs`](https://github.com/NextGenSoftwareUK/OASIS/blob/main/STAR%20ODK/NextGenSoftware.OASIS.STAR.WebAPI/Controllers/TemplatesController.cs)
Route prefix: `api/templates`
21 operation(s).

Every method takes a single args object: any key matching a `{token}` in the route is substituted into the URL; everything else becomes the query string (GET/DELETE) or JSON body (POST/PUT). Every call resolves to the standard OASIS envelope:

```ts
{
  isError: boolean;
  isWarning: boolean;
  message: string;
  errorCode?: string;
  result: T; // see each endpoint's Response section below
}
```
