Get information about component templates in a cluster.
Component templates are building blocks for constructing index templates that specify index mappings, settings, and aliases.

## Parameters

### Path parameters
- **name** (string)
  The name of the component template.
  It accepts wildcard expressions.
  If it is omitted, all component templates are returned.

### Query parameters
- **h** (string | array[string])
  A comma-separated list of columns names to display. It supports simple wildcards.

  Supported values include:
    - `name` (or `n`): The name of the component template.
    - `version` (or `v`): The version number of the component template.
    - `alias_count` (or `a`): The number of aliases in the component template.
    - `mapping_count` (or `m`): The number of mappings in the component template.
    - `settings_count` (or `s`): The number of settings in the component template.
    - `metadata_count` (or `me`): The number of metadata entries in the component template.
    - `included_in` (or `i`): The index templates that include this component template.

- **s** (string | array[string])
  List of columns that determine how the table should be sorted.
  Sorting defaults to ascending and can be changed by setting `:asc`
  or `:desc` as a suffix to the column name.
- **local** (boolean)
  If `true`, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the
  local cluster state. If `false` the list of selected nodes are computed
  from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating
  node will send requests for further information to each selected node.
- **master_timeout** (string)
  The period to wait for a connection to the master node.
