Implementation Reference

src/requestHandler.ts:427-469 (handler)

The core handler function that implements the add-email-template tool logic. It retrieves existing templates, creates a new EmailTemplate with a generated UUID, handles the isDefault flag by unsetting it on other default templates, saves the new template, and returns success with the new template details or error information.

async function handleAddEmailTemplate(parameters: any) {
  try {
    // Get existing templates
    const templates = await getEmailTemplates();
    
    // Create a new template
    const newTemplate: EmailTemplate = {
      id: generateUUID(),
      name: parameters.name,
      subject: parameters.subject,
      body: parameters.body,
      isDefault: parameters.isDefault ?? false
    };
    
    // If this is set as default, we'll need to update other templates
    if (newTemplate.isDefault) {
      templates.forEach(template => {
        if (template.isDefault) {
          template.isDefault = false;
          saveEmailTemplate(template).catch(err => {
            logToFile('Error updating template:');
            logToFile(err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Unknown error');
          });
        }
      });
    }
    
    // Save the new template
    await saveEmailTemplate(newTemplate);
    
    return {
      success: true,
      template: newTemplate
    };
  } catch (error) {
    logToFile('Error in handleAddEmailTemplate:');
    logToFile(error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error');
    return {
      success: false,
      message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'
    };
  }
}
