Hi how use this part of code with twig,
$this->assign('title', 'Home');
not
echo $this->assign('title', 'Home');
I tried,
{% set assign = ('title', 'Home') %}
{% set this.assign = ('title', 'Home') %}
{% set assign = {'title', 'Home'} %}
{{ assign('title', 'Home') }}
But still don't work
Thanks you
I don't know about using $this in the context of a template (it would refer to some generated class instance), but you can perform arbitrary operations without printing by using the do statement.
The do tag works exactly like the regular variable expression ({{ ... }}) just that it doesn't print anything:
{% do 1 + 2 %}
To access the view itself when using TwigView, use the _view variable:
{% do _view.assign('title', 'Home') %}

I have a twig template where I would like to test if an item begins with a certain value
{% if item.ContentTypeId == '0x0120' %}
<td><a href='?parentId={{ item.Id }}'>{{ item.BaseName }}</a><br /></td>
{% else %}
<td><a href='?{{ item.UrlPrefix }}'>{{ item.LinkFilename }}</a></td>
{% endif %}
The 0x0120 can look like that or be more complex like this 0x0120D52000D430D2B0D8DD6F4BBB16123680E4F78700654036413B65C740B168E780DA0FB4BX. The only thing I want to do is to ensure that it starts with the 0x0120.
The ideal solution would be to solve this by using regex but I'm not aware if Twig supports this?
Thanks
You can do that directly in Twig now:
{% if 'World' starts with 'F' %}
{% endif %}
"Ends with" is also supported:
{% if 'Hello' ends with 'n' %}
{% endif %}
Other handy keywords also exist:
Complex string comparisons:
{% if phone matches '{^[\\d\\.]+$}' %} {% endif %}
(Note: double backslashes are converted to one backslash by twig)
String contains:
{{ 'cd' in 'abcde' }}
{{ 1 in [1, 2, 3] }}
See more information here: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#comparisons
Yes, Twig supports regular expressions in comparisons: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#comparisons
In your case it would be:
{% if item.ContentTypeId matches '/^0x0120.*/' %}
...
{% else %}
...
{% endif %}
You can just use the slice filter. Simply do:
{% if item.ContentTypeId[:6] == '0x0120' %}
{% endif %}
You can always make your own filter that performs the necessary comparison.
As per the docs:
When called by Twig, the PHP callable receives the left side of the filter (before the pipe |) as the first argument and the extra arguments passed to the filter (within parentheses ()) as extra arguments.
So here is a modified example.
Creating a filter is as simple as associating a name with a PHP
callable:
// an anonymous function
$filter = new Twig_SimpleFilter('compareBeginning', function ($longString, $startsWith) {
/* do your work here */
});
Then, add the filter to your Twig environment:
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->addFilter($filter);
And here is how to use it in a template:
{% if item.ContentTypeId | compareBeginning('0x0120') == true %}
{# not sure of the precedence of | and == above, may need parentheses #}
I'm not a PHP guy, so I don't know how PHP does regexes, but the anonymous function above is designed to return true if $longString begins with $startsWith. I'm sure you'll find that trivial to implement.
I have a function in my Symfony controller which returns the following:
test+testString1+test2
TestController.php
public function getResultAction($fileName) {
$string1="test";
$string2="testString1";
$string3="test2";
$response = $string1."+".$string2."+".$string3;
return new Response($response);
}
In my twig I've rendered the function in my controller:
test.html.twig
{% set test %}
{{ render(controller('TestBundle:Test:getResult')) }}|split('+', 4)
{% endset %}
{{ test[0] }}
I'm using twig split filter so that I can display test, testString1 and test2 individually. But then whenever I attempt to display test[0], I receive the following error:
Impossible to access a key "0" on an object of class "Twig_Markup" that does not implement ArrayAccess interface in TestBundle:Test:test.html.twig
What's wrong with what I'm doing? I hope you could help me with this. Thanks
You miss the split filter inside the double brace as follow:
{% set test %}
{{ render(controller('TestBundle:Test:getResult')) |split('+', 4) }}
{% endset %}
Hovenever seems same problem with the set tag. From the doc:
The set tag can also be used to 'capture' chunks of text
Try with:
{%
set test=render(controller('TestBundle:Test:getResult'))|split('+', 4)
%}
Hope this help
I have the folowing long variable in Twig to read the src attribute of an image in RSS feed:
<img src="{{item.get_item_tags("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom","link")[0]['child']['http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/']['content'][0]['child']['http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/']['thumbnail'][0]['child']['http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom']['img'][0]['attribs']['']['src']}}"/>
I want to make the code more cleaner and readable, so initially, I defined two variables to act as parameter of get_item_tags() and the other as a path for the array:
{% set param1 = 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' %}
{% set arrayPath = '[0]['child']['http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/']['content'][0]['child']['http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/']['thumbnail'][0]['child']['http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom']['img'][0]['attribs']['']['src']' %}
What I want to get, but it generate error, is:
<img src="{{item.get_item_tags({{param1}}, "link"){{arrayPath}}}}" />
I don't use symfony and Twig version is 1.16.0
When you set a variable in twig and want to use it inside another function either in {{ }} or {% %} you do not need to use {{ }} again for the set variable.
Furthermore, you cannot set a variable as index of another variable then concat them; so you need to change it to:
{% set param1 = 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' %}
{% set output = item.get_item_tags(param1, "link") %}
{% set yk = 'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' %}
<img src="{{ output[0]['child'][(yk)]['content'][0]['child'][(yk)]['thumbnail'][0]['child']['http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom']['img'][0]['attribs']['']['src'] }}" />
First of all, I know that the logic should be in the controller and not in the view and I keep it that way.
But in this particular situation I need to use preg_match within a ternary operation to set the css class of a div.
Example:
{% for list in lists %}
<div class="{{ (preg_match(list.a, b))>0 ? something : else }}"...>...</div>
{% endfor %}
How can I achieve the (preg_match(list.a,b))>0 condition in twig?
Thanks in advance
For those who came here from Google search results (like me).
There's containment operator that allows you to do something like this:
{{ 'cd' in 'abcde' }} {# returns true #}
You can't use preg_match() directly but there are ways to accomplish it:
if your list is an entity, add a method matches(): {{ (list.matches(b)) ? something : else }}
you could create a custom Twig extension function that uses preg_match() internally http://symfony.com/doc/master/cookbook/templating/twig_extension.html
Expanding from Serge's comment and is the correct answer.
In my example my string is "Message Taken - 12456756". I can then use |split to convert it into an array and use |replace to get ride of white space.
{% set mt = 'Message Taken' in d.note %}
{% if mt == true %}
{#.. you can then do something that is true#}
{% set mt_array = d.note|split('-') %}
{{ mt_array[0] }} | {{ mt_array[1]|replace({' ' : ''}) }}
{% endif %}
This would output my string but I now control two parts instead of 1.
I'm trying to do an if statement with data passed to the twig file from the controller. Below is a line from the controller:
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('homepage', array('user' => $user, 'contact' => $contact)));
My goal is to do an if statement with the variable 'contact'. I checked the twig reference and it shows how to do an if statement but that would not work with 'contact'. Below is the code I tried, can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
{% if {{ contact.id }} > 0 %}
{{ contact.addrLineOne }}
{% else %}
--
{% endif %}
You're almost there, just a small syntax modification will make your code working!
{% if contact.id > 0 %}
{{ contact.addrLineOne }}
{% else %}
--
{% endif %}
In Twig, curly braces means that you want to print the value of a variable or an expression. So you're statement in PHP would look like this :
if ((echo contact[id]) > 0)
echo contact[addrLineOne]; // or contact->addrLineOne() according to the context
else
