How are the Jinja email templates rendered

[stratosgear]

I see a /backend/app/app/email-tempaltes/src folder and a /backend/app/app/email-tempaltes/build folder which means that the email templates are somehow rendered/compiled.

Without becoming a Jinja expert (if at all possible), where is the magic happening here and how can I create my own templates...?

The email templates are using MJML. You can create your own at mjml.io/try-it-live

If you want the modify the existing ones you can copy the contents of the template in the src directory into the browser, make the modifications then click view HTML on the top right to see the generated HTML.

I think @tiangolo included both the template and the generated HTML so we could easily modify them.

Ooops, sorry! I thought .mjml were some raw Jinja templates that needed rendering.

I guess a note in that raw .mjml folder of what these files are would be helpful.

Thanks, closing this.

Thanks for the help @michael0liver !

Also, if you use VS Code, you can try this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=attilabuti.vscode-mjml

I wish there was a way to build MJML in Python instead of having to commit the built files, but 🤷 ...that's what we have for now.
