Actions that can submit text (Report, Comment, UserNote, Message, Ban, Submission) will have their `content` values run through a [Mustache Template](https://mustache.github.io/). This means you can insert data generated by Rules into your text before the Action is performed.
See here for a [cheatsheet](https://gist.github.com/FoxxMD/d365707cf99fdb526a504b8b833a5b78) and [here](https://www.tsmean.com/articles/mustache/the-ultimate-mustache-tutorial/) for a more thorough tutorial.
# Template Data
Some data can always be accessed at the top-level. Example
```
This action was run from {{manager}} in Check {{check}}.
The bot intro post is {{botLink}}
Message the moderators of this subreddit using this [compose link]({{modmailLink}})
```
| Name | Description | Example |

## Activity Data
**Activity data can be accessed using the `item` variable.** Example
```
This activity is a {{item.kind}} with {{item.votes}} votes, created {{item.age}} ago.
```
Produces:
> This activity is a submission with 10 votes created 5 minutes ago.
### Common
All Actions with `content` have access to this data:
| Name | Description | Example |
|--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `kind` | The Activity type (submission or comment) | submission |
| `author` | Name of the Author of the Activity being processed | FoxxMD |

| `subreddit` | The name of the subreddit the Activity is from | mealtimevideos |
| `id` | The `Reddit Thing` ID for the Activity | t3_0tin1 |
| `title` | As comments => the body of the comment. As Submission => title | Test post please ignore |
| `shortTitle` | The same as `title` but truncated to 15 characters | test post pleas... |
### Submissions
If the **Activity** is a Submission these additional properties are accessible:
| Name | Description | Example |

|---------------|-------------------------------------|---------|
| `reports` | The number of reports recieved | 1 |
| `modReports` | The number of reports by moderators | 1 |
| `userReports` | The number of reports by users | 1 |
## Rule Data
### Summary
A summary of what rules were processed and which were triggered, with results, is available using the `ruleSummary` variable. Example:
```
A summary of rules processed for this activity:
{{ruleSummary}}
```
Would produce:
> A summary of rules processed for this activity:
>
> * namedRegexRule - ✘
> * nameAttributionRule - ✓ - 1 Attribution(s) met the threshold of < 20%, with 1 (3%) of 32 Total -- window: 6 months
> * noXPost ✓ - ✓ 1 of 1 unique items repeated <= 3 times, largest repeat: 1
### Individual
Individual **Rules** can be accessed using the name of the rule, **lower-cased, with all spaces/dashes/underscores.** Example:
```
Submission was repeated {{rules.noxpost.largestRepeat}} times
```
Produces
> Submission was repeated 7 times
## Action Data
### Summary
A summary of what actions have already been run **when the template is rendered** is available using the `actionSummary` variable. It is therefore important that the Action you want to produce the summary is run **after** any other Actions you want to get a summary for.
Example:
```
A summary of actions processed for this activity, so far:
{{actionSummary}}
```
Would produce:
> A summary of actions processed for this activity, so far:
>
> * approve - ✘ - Item is already approved??
> * lock - ✓
> * modnote - ✓ - (SOLID_CONTRIBUTOR) User is good
### Individual
Individual **Actions** can be accessed using the name of the action, **lower-cased, with all spaces/dashes/underscores.** Example:
```
User was banned for {{actions.exampleban.duration}} for {{actions.exampleban.reason}}
```
Produces
> User was banned for 4 days for toxic behavior
# Quick Templating Tutorial
As a quick example for how you will most likely be using templating -- wrapping a variable in curly brackets, `{{variable}}`, will cause the variable value to be rendered instead of the brackets:
```
myVariable = 50;
myOtherVariable = "a text fragment"
template = "This is my template, the variable is {{myVariable}}, my other variable is {{myOtherVariable}}, and that's it!";
console.log(Mustache.render(template, {myVariable});
// will render...
"This is my template, the variable is 50, my other variable is a text fragment, and that's it!";
```
**Note: When accessing an object or its properties you must use dot notation**
```
const item = {
aProperty: 'something',
anotherObject: {
bProperty: 'something else'
}
}
const content = "My content will render the property {{item.aProperty}} like this, and another nested property {{item.anotherObject.bProperty}} like this."
```
