Model for dynamic template rendering. It renders a template path passed in the request path and returns the rendered template output.
Available Model API Paths
-------------------------
| Method | Path pattern | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `get` | `/render/...` | Treat segments after `/render/` as the template path, render that template with the payload query args, and return the rendered template output. |
`/+name` marks a variable path segment. A trailing `/...` means extra path segments are accepted for further lookups.
