# Example Templates

This page contains some simple examples of templates. There are more examples of default templates available at:

https://github.com/opentext-idol/find/tree/master/webapp/core/src/main/public/static/js/find/templates/app/page/search/default-custom-templates/

## Simple Template

The following template is a simple search result template that displays a thumbnail image for documents that contain a `thumbnail` field. It also displays the document summary, the `authors` field, and a link to get similar documents.

    <div>
        <h1><i class="{{icon}}"></i>{{title}}</h1>
        {{#hasField 'thumbnail'}}
           <img src="{{thumbnail}}"/>
        {{/hasField}}
        <p>{{{summary}}}</p>
        <p>Author: {{getFieldValue "authors"}}</p>
        <a href="{{similarDocumentsUrl}}">See similar documents</a>
    </div>

## Multiple Format Styles

The following example shows some different ways of formatting the `authors` field in your results.

    <p>Authors: {{getFieldValues "authors"}}</p>
    <p>Only the first author: {{getFieldValue "authors"}}</p>
    <p>
        Formatting all authors as badges:

        {{#getFieldValues "authors" ellipsis='<font color="gray">...</font>'}}
            <span class="badge"> {{ this }} </span>
        {{else}}
            (no authors)
        {{/getFieldValues}}
    </p>
    <p>
        Only showing the first author as a single badge:

        {{#getFieldValue "authors"}}
            <span class="badge"> {{ this }} </span>
        {{else}}
            (no author)
        {{/getFieldValue}}
    </p>
    <p>
        Only showing the first two authors, the rest as ellipsis:

        {{#getFieldValues "authors" max=2 ellipsis='<font color="gray">...</font>'}}
            <span class="badge"> {{ this }} </span>
        {{else}}
            (no authors)
        {{/getFieldValues}}
    </p>

For example, if you have the following Knowledge Discovery document:

    #DREREFERENCE format-test
    #DRETITLE Formatting test
    #DREFIELD DOCUMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR_STRING="Alice"
    #DREFIELD DOCUMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR_STRING="Bob"
    #DREFIELD DOCUMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR_STRING="Charlie"
    #DRECONTENT
    Written by Alice, Bob and Charlie
    #DREENDDOC
    #DREENDDATANOOP

and a complementary configuration in the `fieldsinfo` section of the Find `config.json` file:

    "authors": {
       "names": [
          "AU_DOCUMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR_STRING",
          "DOCUMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR_STRING"
       ]
    }

For this example template and document, Find displays the following:

For a document without any authors, Find displays the following:
