I've definitely been missing out on setting up a proper jinja loader on a few projects, I need to lean on this a bit more.
``` python
class jinja2.FileSystemLoader(searchpath, encoding='utf-8', followlinks=False):
'''
Load templates from a directory in the file system.
'''
```
> The path can be relative or absolute. Relative paths are relative to the current working directory.
``` python
loader = FileSystemLoader("templates")
# A list of paths can be given. The directories will be searched in order, stopping at the first matching template.
loader = FileSystemLoader(["/override/templates", "/default/templates"])
```
