I can suggest you a javascript oriented approach which makes it easy to work with javascript files in your project.

Create a javascript section in your jinja template file and place all variables you want to use in your javascript files in a window object:

Start.html

...
{% block scripts %}


{% endblock %}

Jinja will replace values and our appConfig object will be reachable from our other script files:

App.js

var AccountKit_OnInteractive = function(){
    AccountKit.init({
        appId: appConfig.facebook_app_id,
        debug: appConfig.debug,
        state: appConfig.csrf_token,
        version: appConfig.accountkit_api_version
    })
}

I have seperated javascript code from html documents with this way which is easier to manage and seo friendly.
