Summary
This PR adds native Jinja2 support for DRF's template rendering tags (
render_formandrender_field).Previously, these tags only worked with Django's default template engine. When a project was configured to use the
Jinja2backend, attempting to use these tags resulted inTemplateSyntaxErroror missing tag exceptions.To resolve this without introducing third-party dependencies (like
django-jinja), this PR introduces a new native Jinja2 extension:rest_framework.jinja2.DRFExtension.Developers can now seamlessly register this extension in their Jinja2 environment to expose the
render_formandrender_fieldglobals, matching the behavior provided for Django templates.
