Twig is...• The best template engine for PHP.• Fast, secure and modern.• Easy to learn, to read and to write.• If you don’t know Twig yet, read the official docs at: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/documentation

AGENDA

Agenda• Tips and tricks about Twig.• Advanced features.• Defensive template design.• Best practices.• New and noteworthy Twig features.

NEW &NOTEWORTHY

«template_from_string» function{% set user_template = "{{ description[0:80] }}<br/> Price: {{ product.price }}" %}{% includetemplate_from_string(user_template) %}

«include» function{% include template.twig %}{{ include(template.twig) }} equivalent

«include» function WRONG{% set content = include(index.twig) %} OK{% set content %}{{ include(index.twig) }}{% endset %}

«include» function WRONG{{ include(index.twig)|striptags(<a>)[0:80] }}{% set content %} OK{{ include(index.twig) }}{% endset %}{{ content|striptags(<a>)[0:80] }}

«first» and «last» filters{% set firstElement = array|first %}{% set lastElement = array|last %}

«first» and «last» filters{% set first = array[0] %}{% set last = array[array|length - 1] %}

«first» and «last» filters{% set first = array[0] %}{% set last = array[array|length - 1] %} only works for zero- indexed numeric arrays

«first» and «last» filters{{ [1, 2, 3, 4]|first }} 1{{ { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }|first }} 1{{ 1234|first }} 1 result

Named arguments{{ "now"|date("Y-m-d", "America/New_York") }} mandatory to set the second argument{{ "now"|date(timezone="America/New_York") }} just set the argument you need

Functions and filters before 1.12$twig->addFunction(functionName, new Twig_Function_Function(someFunction));$twig->addFunction(otherFunction, new Twig_Function_Method($this, someMethod));

Functions and filters in Twig 1.12$twig->addFunction(new Twig_SimpleFunction( twig_function, some_php_function));$twig->addFunction(new Twig_SimpleFunction( twig_function, array($object, method_name)));$twig->addFunction(new Twig_SimpleFunction( twig_function, function() { ... }));

OVERRIDING FILTERS

USE WITHCAUTION

{% for i in array|sort %} {# ... #}{% endfor %}

How is the array sorted?{% for i in array|sort %} {# ... #}{% endfor %}

PHP defines 15 sorting functions• asort() • array_multisort()• arsort() • natcasesort()• krsort() • natsort()• ksort() • rsort()• rsort() • shuffle()• shuffle() • uasort()• sort() • uksort()• usort()

Overriding filters• Where can I find the PHP function used by Twig?• How can I override it with my own implementation?

Where Twig defines everythinglib/twig/Extension/Core.phpclass Twig_Extension_Core extends Twig_Extension { public function getTokenParsers() { return array( +1,300 lines new Twig_TokenParser_For(), new Twig_TokenParser_If(), class! new Twig_TokenParser_Extends(), new Twig_TokenParser_Include(), new Twig_TokenParser_Block(), // ... ); } public function getFilters() { $filters = array( format => new Twig_Filter_Function(sprintf), replace => new Twig_Filter_Function(strtr), abs => new Twig_Filter_Function(abs), // ... );

Where Twig defines everythinglib/twig/Extension/Core.phpclass Twig_Extension_Core extends Twig_Extension { public function getTokenParsers() { return array( • Filters new Twig_TokenParser_For(), new Twig_TokenParser_If(), new Twig_TokenParser_Extends(), • Functions new Twig_TokenParser_Include(), new Twig_TokenParser_Block(), // ... • Tags • Operators ); } public function getFilters() { $filters = array( • Tests format => new Twig_Filter_Function(sprintf), replace => new Twig_Filter_Function(strtr), abs => new Twig_Filter_Function(abs), // ... );

«sort» filter uses «asort» functionnew Twig_SimpleFilter(sort, twig_sort_filter),// ...function twig_sort_filter($array){ asort($array); return $array;}

Overriding filters✔ Where can I find the PHP function• used by Twig?• How can I override it with my own implementation?

Replace «asort» with «natcasesort»// asortA1, a0, a10, a2// natcasesorta0, A1, a2, a10

1. Define a new Twig extensionclass MyCoreExtension extends Twig_Extension_Core { // ...}

2. Define the new «sort» filterclass MyCoreExtension extends Twig_Extension_Core { public function getFilters() { // ... }}

2. Define the new «sort» filterclass MyCoreExtension extends Twig_Extension_Core { public function getFilters() { return array_merge( parent::getFilters(), array( ... ) ); }}

2. Define the new «sort» filterclass MyCoreExtension extends Twig_Extension_Core{ public function getFilters() { return array_merge(parent::getFilters(), array( sort => new Twig_Filter_Method($this, sortFilter) )); } public function sortFilter($array) { natcasesort($array); return $array; }}

3. Register the new extension$twig = new Twig_Environment( ... );$twig->addExtension( new MyCoreExtension());

This is now natcasesort{% for i in array|sort %} {# ... #}{% endfor %}

1. Create a new token parserclass SourceTokenParser extends Twig_TokenParser{ public function getTag() { return source; }}

2. Register the new token parser$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(...);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array(...));$twig->addTokenParser( new SourceTokenParser());

3. Fill in the «parse» methodclass SourceTokenParser extends Twig_TokenParser{ public function parse(Twig_Token $token) { $lineno = $token->getLine(); $value = $this->parser->getExpressionParser() ->parseExpression(); $this->parser->getStream() ->expect(Twig_Token::BLOCK_END_TYPE); return new SourceNode($value, $lineno, $this->getTag()); }}

4. Define the node class that compiles tagsclass SourceNode extends Twig_Node { public function __construct(Twig_Node_Expression $value, $lineno, $tag = null) { parent::__construct(array(file => $value), array(), $lineno, $tag); } public function compile(Twig_Compiler $compiler) { $compiler -> // ... ->write(echo file_get_contents() ->subcompile($this->getNode(file)) ->raw();) ; }}

The compiled PHP template// line 3echo file_get_contents("simple.twig");// ... {% source simple.twig %}// line 5echo file_get_contents("../../../composer.json");

TEMPLATE LOADERS

Most apps use a single loader$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem( __DIR__./templates);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());$html = $twig->render(home.html.twig);

Chaining several loaders$loader1 = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(...);$loader2 = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(...);$loader = new Twig_Loader_Chain(array( $loader1, $loader2));$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());// ...

Chaining different loaders$loader1 = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(...);$loader2 = new Twig_Loader_Array(...);$loader3 = new Twig_Loader_String(...);$loader = new Twig_Loader_Chain(array( $loader1, $loader2, $loader3));// ...

Chaining different loaders$loader1 = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(...);$loader2 = new Twig_Loader_Array(...);$loader3 = new Twig_Loader_String(...);$loader = new Twig_Loader_Chain(array( $loader1, $loader2, $loader3)); order matters!// ...

Adding loaders at runtime$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(/templates);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());if ( ... ) { $twig->addLoader( new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(/special_templates) );}// ...

Storing templates in several folders$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(array( __DIR__./default, __DIR__./templates, __DIR__./themes));$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());// ...

Storing templates in several folders$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(array( __DIR__./default, __DIR__./templates, __DIR__./themes));$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader,went wrong. Whoops, looks like something array());// ... Twig_Error_Loader: The "_DIR_/templates" directory does not exist.

Adding folders at runtime$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(/templates);$path = $user_slug./templates;if (file_exists($path)) { $loader->addPath($path);}$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());// ...

Prioritizing template folders$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(/templates);if(...) { $loader->addPath($user_slug./templates); $loader->prependPath($user_slug./themes);}$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());// ...

Prioritizing template folders$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(/templates);if(...) { $loader->addPath($user_slug./templates); $loader->prependPath($user_slug./themes);} path is added before any other path$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());// ...

It’s difficult to prioritize folders$loader ->addPath(...) ->addPath(...) ->prependPath(...) ->addPath(...) ->prependPath(...);

NAMESPACES

Namespaces are better than folders templates/ themes/index.twig admin/index.twig frontend/index.twig

Namespaces are better than folders$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(__DIR__./templates);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());$html = $twig->render(admin/index.twig);$html = $twig->render(themes/index.twig);$html = $twig->render(frontend/index.twig);

App doesn’t work if folders change templates/ themes/index.twig frontend/index.twig admin/

App doesn’t work if folders change templates/ themes/index.twig Whoops, looks like something went wrong. frontend/index.twig Twig_Error_Loader: The "admin/index.twig" admin/ template does not exist.

Registering and using namespaces$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(__DIR__./templates);$loader->addPath(__DIR__./admin, admin);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());$html = $twig->render(@admin/index.twig);$html = $twig->render(admin/index.twig);

Registering and using namespaces$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem(__DIR__./templates);$loader->addPath(__DIR__./admin, admin);$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array());$html = $twig->render(@admin/index.twig);$html = $twig->render(admin/index.twig); logical path physical path

A practical use case$loader->addPath( __DIR__./themes/default/admin, backend);// with namespaces$html = $twig->render(@backend/edit.twig);// with physical paths$html = $twig->render(themes/default/admin/edit.twig);

Twitter Sandbox• It’s a regular Twig extension.• Disabled by default.• It allows to restrict the functions, filters, tags and object properties used in the templates.• It’s based on security policies.

Ignore missing templates{% include section_ ~ slug ~ .twig ignore missing %}

Define fallback templates{% extends [ layout_ ~ locale ~ .html.twig, layout.html.twig] %}

Use fallbacks and ignore errors{% include [ layout_ ~ locale ~ .html.twig, layout.html.twig] ignore missing %}

Twig linter• A linter detects syntax errors automatically.• Use it as a preventive measure to detect errors before serving pages to users.
