# SensorTemplates
## 1. Purpose
This module defines the view and view model interfaces for the *Sensor Templates* feature within the DTS (presumably *Data Tracking System*) UI architecture. It serves as a contract layer in a Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern, enabling separation of UI presentation logic (`ISensorTemplatesView`) from business/data logic (`ISensorTemplatesViewModel`). Though minimal in content, it establishes the foundational abstractions for sensor template management UI components—likely used to display, select, or configure predefined sensor configurations—by integrating with the broader `DTS.Common.Base` hierarchy.
## 2. Public Interface
No public methods, properties, or events are declared in either interface. Both interfaces are *marker interfaces* extending base abstractions:
- **`ISensorTemplatesView`**
*Signature:* `public interface ISensorTemplatesView : IBaseView`
*Behavior:* Represents the view layer for sensor templates. As a marker interface, it conveys no behavior beyond identity—consumers rely on `IBaseView` (inherited) for any standardized view lifecycle or contract. Actual UI rendering and interaction logic are implemented in concrete view classes (e.g., WPF `UserControl` or `Window` subclasses).
- **`ISensorTemplatesViewModel`**
*Signature:* `public interface ISensorTemplatesViewModel : IBaseViewModel`
*Behavior:* Represents the view model layer for sensor templates. Similarly a marker interface, it inherits `IBaseViewModel` (from `DTS.Common.Base`) and provides no additional members. View model functionality (e.g., sensor template lists, selection commands) is implemented in concrete classes (e.g., `SensorTemplatesViewModel`) that implement this interface.
## 3. Invariants
- Both interfaces must be implemented by types that adhere to the contracts of their respective base interfaces (`IBaseView` and `IBaseViewModel`), though the specifics of those base contracts are not visible here.
- No additional validation, state, or ordering guarantees are defined at this level.
- The interfaces are *intended* to be used in pairs (view ↔ view model) within an MVVM framework, but this is not enforced by the interfaces themselves.
## 4. Dependencies
- **Depends on:**
- `DTS.Common.Base.IBaseView` (for `ISensorTemplatesView`)
- `DTS.Common.Base.IBaseViewModel` (for `ISensorTemplatesViewModel`)
- The `DTS.Common.Base` assembly (namespace `DTS.Common.Base` must be resolvable).
- **Depended on by:**
- UI layer components (e.g., XAML views, view model factories, DI containers) that bind or resolve sensor template UI elements.
- Likely consumed by modules responsible for sensor configuration UI (e.g., `DTS.UI.Sensors` or similar), though no direct references to other modules are present in the source.
## 5. Gotchas
- **Empty interfaces:** These interfaces provide no behavior, meaning consumers cannot infer functionality from the interface alone—implementation details reside in concrete classes. This may lead to runtime errors if consumers assume specific members exist.
- **No naming collision safeguard:** The generic names (`ISensorTemplatesView`, `ISensorTemplatesViewModel`) could conflict with future feature-specific interfaces (e.g., `ISensorConfigurationTemplatesView`), but no evidence of such planning exists in the source.
- **Missing documentation:** No XML documentation comments are present, reducing discoverability for developers unfamiliar with the projects conventions.
- **No versioning clues:** The interfaces lack attributes (e.g., `[Obsolete]`, version tags), making it unclear if they are stable or deprecated.
- **None identified from source alone.**
