All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseTemplateVariationModel
```
public interface TemplateVariationModel
```
This template variation definition holds one single variation of a TemplateDefinition for one combination of variants like language, country, etc. The variation key returned with getVariationKey() returns a composed value of all variations as a single value.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String`	`getContentId()`	Returns the optional id of the referenced content to retrieve the template variation content with the content engine.
`String`	`getDescription()`	Returns the optional description of this template variation definition, describing where and how it might be used.
`String`	`getExternalId()`	Returns the optional external id this template variation is linked with (e.g.
`String`	`getKey()`	Returns a composed key for this specific variation of the template definition which is a combination of the template definition key returned by `getTemplateDefinitionKey()` and the variation key returned by `getVariationKey()`.
`String`	`getName()`	Returns the optional name for this variation which might be used for template management as it does not have an effect on the template rendering itself.
`List<TemplateParameter>`	`getParameters()`	Returns an optional list of parameters needed for this template variation in order to create or render it.
`String`	`getTemplateDefinitionKey()`	Returns the referenced business key of the `TemplateDefinition` this variation is based on.
`Date`	`getValidFrom()`	Returns the timestamp from which this template variation is valid, must not be `null`, use `new Date(0L)` instead if the variation definition should be valid back in time.
`Date`	`getValidTo()`	Returns the timestamp until which this template variation is valid, must not be `null`, use `new Date(Long.MAX_VALUE)` instead if the variation definition should be valid forever.
`String`	`getVariationContent()`	If this variation only contains small content (e.g.
`String`	`getVariationContentResource()`	Returns the resource string in case the content is referenced using a Spring Resource.
`String`	`getVariationKey()`	Returns the single, composed variation key created out of all variation values this template is used for (e.g.
`String`	`getVersionTimestamp()`	Returns the version timestamp for this template variation definition that is used to check if a new template variation needs to be deployed.
`boolean`	`hasVariationContent()`	Returns `true`, if this template only has small content (e.g.
`boolean`	`isEditable()`	Returns if the template variation is editable at runtime.

- Method Detail
  - getTemplateDefinitionKey
```
String getTemplateDefinitionKey()
```
    Returns the referenced business key of the TemplateDefinition this variation is based on.
  - getKey
```
String getKey()
```
    Returns a composed key for this specific variation of the template definition which is a combination of the template definition key returned by getTemplateDefinitionKey() and the variation key returned by getVariationKey().
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns the optional name for this variation which might be used for template management as it does not have an effect on the template rendering itself.
  - getDescription
```
String getDescription()
```
    Returns the optional description of this template variation definition, describing where and how it might be used.
  - getValidFrom
```
Date getValidFrom()
```
    Returns the timestamp from which this template variation is valid, must not be null, use new Date(0L) instead if the variation definition should be valid back in time.
  - getValidTo
```
Date getValidTo()
```
    Returns the timestamp until which this template variation is valid, must not be null, use new Date(Long.MAX_VALUE) instead if the variation definition should be valid forever.
  - getExternalId
```
String getExternalId()
```
    Returns the optional external id this template variation is linked with (e.g. the id of a template message in WeChat or an externally referenced document template in a ECM system).
  - getVariationKey
```
String getVariationKey()
```
    Returns the single, composed variation key created out of all variation values this template is used for (e.g. 'che_de' or 'mobile_de', etc).
  - hasVariationContent
```
boolean hasVariationContent()
```
    Returns true, if this template only has small content (e.g. a message or email template), false, if the content needs to be retrieved with the content engine.
  - getVariationContent
```
String getVariationContent()
```
    If this variation only contains small content (e.g. a message or email template), the content might be retrievable directly using this method.
  - getVariationContentResource
```
String getVariationContentResource()
```
    Returns the resource string in case the content is referenced using a Spring Resource.
  - getContentId
```
String getContentId()
```
    Returns the optional id of the referenced content to retrieve the template variation content with the content engine. If this template variation only contains small content (hasVariationContent() returning true), the content id is null.
  - isEditable
```
boolean isEditable()
```
    Returns if the template variation is editable at runtime.
  - getVersionTimestamp
```
String getVersionTimestamp()
```
    Returns the version timestamp for this template variation definition that is used to check if a new template variation needs to be deployed. The timestamp should have a format of 'yyyy-MM-dd' (2018-02-01) or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss' (2018-02-01 14:00:00)
  - getParameters
```
List<TemplateParameter> getParameters()
```
    Returns an optional list of parameters needed for this template variation in order to create or render it.
