Templates Search

[MODE:GREENFIELD] Read-only, idempotent. Tier: greenfield.

Searches Templates the current Player can read, own templates, public templates, team-shared templates, through GET /api/import_templates.

When to use

• Greenfield mode, choosing a starting template.
• Looking up a known template by name / tag / topic before fibe_launch.
• Surveying available capabilities ("what Postgres templates exist?").

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Notes
query	string	no	Search query (full-text by default)
template_id_or_name	number or string	no	Restrict to one specific template (variant lookup)
regex	bool	no	Treat query as PostgreSQL regex

Regex mode constraints

Regex search is prefiltered with a 3+ character literal token from the regex; if no such token exists, the search errors out. Examples:

• "^demo-": works (literal demo-).
• ".*": rejected (no token).
• "foo|bar": works (each alternative ≥3 chars).

Output

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "fibe/postgres",
      "description": "...",
      "category": "...",
      "owner": { ... },
      "latest_version": { "id": 5, "version": 5, "public": true },
      "scope": "own" | "public",
      "full_access": true | false,
      ...
    }
  ],
  "meta": { "page": 1, "per_page": <N>, "total": <N> }
}

scope distinguishes: own (you can update), public (read-only). full_access:true means you can edit & version it.

Search padding

When a non-empty query matches nothing in your accessible scope, Fibe searches the broader public scope. Those fallback results use mode: :public and full_access: false.

Gotchas

• Empty query returns the full accessible catalog (paginated by per_page from caller, defaults vary).
• Regex without a literal token returns 422 with a hint message.
• template_id_or_name filter is exact-match: useful for "show me all versions / variants of template 42".
• Visibility follows the platform's authorization policies: a private template owned by another player is invisible even if its name matches.

Recipes

• "find Tower-style apps": { query:"tower" }.
• Strict prefix only: { query:"^tower-", regex:true }.
• Versions of a known template: { template_id_or_name:42 }.

• fibe_greenfield_create: uses template_id_or_name from this output.
