Development notes

How to create templates

1. Add template definition json file in assets/templates
2. Register the template definition file in assets/templastes/_template-index.json

Rules and how to instantiate templates

• Rules need a RuleCreator impl.
• Rules need a RulesArg definition
• RuleCreators must be registered in app.module.ts (for injection)
