name	jinja-templates
description	Create or modify Jinja2 templates. Use when: adding new HTML templates, configuring the Jinja2 environment, adding custom filters or globals, rendering templates outside FastAPI, or working with template inheritance.

Jinja2 Templates

context7: If the mcp_context7 tool is available, resolve and load the full jinja2 documentation before making changes:

mcp_context7_resolve-library-id: "pallets/jinja"
mcp_context7_get-library-docs: <resolved-id>

The Jinja2 environment is configured in {{cookiecutter.__package_slug}}/services/jinja.py. Templates live in {{cookiecutter.__package_slug}}/templates/.

---

Environment

The environment uses PackageLoader and autoescape=True:

from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader

env = Environment(
    loader=PackageLoader("{{cookiecutter.__package_slug}}"),
    autoescape=True,
)

{%- if cookiecutter.include_fastapi == "y" %}

For FastAPI responses, use response_templates:

from fastapi import Request
from {{cookiecutter.__package_slug}}.services.jinja import response_templates

@app.get("/page")
async def page() -> Response:
     response_templates.TemplateResponse(
        ,
        {: request, : },
    )
