How do I dynamically use include in a Flask Template?

I have a flask backend sending data to the client. Some JS on the client side then utilizes that data to construct a page that includes one row of data and another area below the row that has a d3 display with clickable nodes.

The nodes have different properties corresponding to different models in the backend and different html templates. Given a type, when clicked, a different html template is presented in the row above.

How do I set the template from the JS? I tried doing something like:

$("#div_id").innerHTML = "{% set obj = " + obj + "%}{% include '" + obj_template_file + "' %}"

That (perhaps of course) didn't work. After taking care of escaping, it just displays that string. I thought of dirty ways of doing this like using hide and show liberally but that doesn't seem wise.

ALthough is not clear what you mean by "sending data to the client". You can pass the base_template argument from your routes like:

@auth.route('/<path:path>', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def password_reset_request():
    if path ==2:
         base_template = "jay.html"
    if path ==3:
         base_template = "blue.html"
    ...
    return render_template('auth/reset_password.html', base_template=base_template)

and on the template:

{% extends base_template %}

THen from your javascript frontend you just need to GET the URL.
