To me, it makes sense that a Job would be an instance of an instance of Template." To me, it sounds like a job would be a function that takes a template as the first parameter along with a collection of the personalizable fields as a second parameter. | |

The template, as described by yourself in the preceding paragraph, should hold a collection of assets and a json. What is this about a template being personalisable? | |

I think you are overloading the word instance to mean two very different things. However, you are talking about Template is if it were a class, and a Job as if it were an object. The fact that Template is itself an instance of an object isn't relevant to helping understand the concept.

However this doesn't seem to be possible in TypeScript and would also be unnecessarily complicated. I added an answer describing the solution I opted for. | |
