FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python. One of its powerful features is the ability to render templates using Jinja2.

This blog will guide you through setting up a FastAPI application with template rendering, demonstrating how to create, read, update, and delete tasks in a simple To-Do application.
