RESTful REST API
RESTful Agent API

var item = {}
item.Name = "Created by unit test";
item.Filename = "footemplate.txt";
item.Tooltip = "Unit Tests FTW";
item.SaveInDb = 1;
item.LoadTemplateFromPlugin = 0;
item = Post("api/v1/List/DocumentTemplate", item)

At this point, the document template record has been created, but there is no content for the document template. We need to upload some document content to the new record:

var id = item.DocumentTemplateId;
content = "Hello {name}.";
Put("api/v1/List/DocumentTemplate/" + id + "/content", content)

We could call SaveDocumentTemplateEntity and SaveDocumentTemplateStream separately as the REST API does, or we can use the agent call that does both in a single call:

content = "Hello {name}.";

var item = {}
item.Name = "Created by unit test";
item.Filename = "footemplate.txt";
item.Tooltip = "Unit Tests FTW";
item.SaveInDb = 1;
item.LoadTemplateFromPlugin = 0;

var req = { DocumentTemplateEntity: item, Stream: content }
item = Post("api/v1/Agents/List/SetDocumentTemplateStream", req)

At this point, the document template record has been created, and the content has been written to the archive.
