I have a menu block that shows 4 links. I'd like to remove the last one if the user has a specific role.
The menu block is created in a specific twig file, and inside a macro, as follows:
{% import _self as menus %}
{#
We call a macro which calls itself to render the full tree.
#see http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/macro.html
#}
{{ menus.menu_links(items, attributes, 0) }}
{% set role = user.role %}
{% macro menu_links(items, attributes, menu_level, elements) %}
{% import _self as menus %}
{% if items %}
<span class='arrow-down'></span>
<ul{{ attributes.setAttribute('id', 'edit-profil-nav') }}>
{% for item in items %}
{% set item_classes = [
'col-xs-12',
'col-sm-12',
items|length == 3 ? 'col-md-4' : 'col-md-3',
item.in_active_trail ? 'active' : 'notactive',
] %}
<li{{ item.attributes.addClass(item_classes) }}>
{{ link(item.title, item.url) }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{{ attach_library('cnas/responsive-navigation') }}
{% endif %}
{% endmacro %}
The major issue I have is that I can't interfere with the macro: I'd like to be able to make comparisons with the user variable, but when I dump it while being in the macro, user shows null.
I found a lot of stuff while looking for an answer, but I've seen everything and its opposite, so I'd like to know if I can do that, and how
Thank you a lot!
macro's in twig have their own scope. You will need to pass the variable user as an argument towards the macro in order to access it.
You could also pass the special variable _context to the macro.
This variables holds all the variables you passed towards the template.

I was wondering if someone can tell me how to hide the action links from the list view base on a status column.
More details: I have a list view in which shows a list of items, In this list I have column named status. For each record in this list in which status is set to close, I would like to hide the edit/delete and other custom actions links from the list. Is this doable? if so, how?
Thanks
A possible solution is to override just the item_actions Twig block in the list.html.twig template used by that entity. In practice, if the entity is called Order, a template like this should work:
{# app/Resources/views/easy_admin/Order/list.html.twig #}
{% extends '#EasyAdmin/default/list.html.twig' %}
{% block item_actions %}
{% if item.status != 'close' %}
{{ parent() }}
{% endif %}
{% endblock item_actions %}
In the documentation there is a way in Symfony to customize a Individual field, based on the name/id of the widget.
{% form_theme form _self %}
{% block _product_name_widget %}
<div class="text_widget">
{{ block('field_widget') }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
{{ form_widget(form.name) }}
Here, the _product_name_widget fragment defines the template to use for the field whose id is product_name (and name is product[name]).
This works for a normal widget, but not if a widget is inside a collection. Because of the extra columns. Like this:
name="productbundle_product_type[foobar][1][value]" id="productbundle_product_type_foobar_1_value"
What is the way to make the Twig customization work inside the collection?
I thought something like this, but that doesn't work:
{% for db in edit_form.list %}
{% block _productbundle_product_type_foobar_{{ db.name }}_widget %}
<div class="text_widget">
{{ block('field_widget') }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
{% endfor %}
Even the following doesn't work:
{% _productbundle_product_type_foobar_1_value_widget %}
What is the way to make it work?
I was working on a project a couple of evenings ago and encountered precisely this problem - the solution I found is a pair of blocks that look like this (stripped of project-specific code):
{# Collection markup #}
{% block my_collection_widget %}
{# Customise collection row prototype for allow_add #}
{% if prototype is defined %}
{% set data_prototype = block('my_collection_item_widget') %}
<div id="my_prototype" data-prototype="{{ data_prototype }}" style="display: none"></div>
{% endif %}
{% for prototype in form %}
{{ block('my_collection_item_widget') }}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock my_collection_widget %}
{# Collection row markup #}
{% block my_collection_item_widget %}
{# Collection contains simple, single type #}
{{ form_errors(prototype) }}
{{ form_label(prototype) }}
{{ form_widget(prototype) }}
{# OR #}
{# Collection contains a compound type, render child types independantly #}
{{ form_errors(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{{ form_label(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{{ form_widget(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{% endblock my_collection_item_widget %}
I know this is old question, but maybe people still happening upon this. This is explained fragment naming for collections.
You use _entry_ in these cases in place of the collection element number. Use the instructions in the link for fragment naming, but this might vary. Sometimes 'type' is part of the fragment's name, sometimes first letter is upper case, sometimes lower case, etc. I would use a browser developer tool to find the actual name to make sure. You might also be able to customize the names used by adding the getBlockPrefix function to the form class.
Therefore, in your case above, the customized block might look something like:
{% block _ProductBundle_product_entry_widget %}
<div> {{ form_row(form.field)}} </div>
{% endblock %}
Where 'field' would be the name of a field in the element of your collection.
A few things here:
1. Documentation Error
The docs seem to be a bit off with CamelCase entities. As for 5.3 it should be: _taskManager_taskLists_entry_widget (instead of _task_manager_task_lists_entry_widget)
You can confirm the naming by dumping the form or form field: {{ dump(form) }} or {{ dump(form.yourField) }} in your template and then look for unique_block_prefix within the vars section.
2. Do NOT use the block overrides, macros are much more easy
It makes things absolutely more complicated than necessary. Simply define a macro:
{% import _self as formMacros %}
{% macro formatCollection(form) %}
<div class="form-group row">
<div>
{{ form_widget(form.field1) }}
{{ form_widget(form.field2) }}
{{ form_widget(form.field3) }}
</div>
</div>
{% endmacro %}
then simply run it on each collection:
{% for item in form.collectionItems %}
{{ formMacros.formatCollection(item) }}
{% endfor %}
3. Prototype
Get the prototype before rendering the collection field. You can store it in a variable.
{% set prototype = form.collection.vars.prototype %}
Then simply render it whenever you like using our macro:
<div data-js="collection" data-prototype="{{ formMacros.formatCollection(prototype)|e('html_attr') }}">
I have a Customer object, which has many Emails.
I'm building a form for my customer, and I've added his emails as a collection. In my template, I render the emails portion like this:
<h4>Emails</h4>
{% for email in form.emails %}
<li>
{{ form_row(email.addr) }}
{{ form_row(email.isPrimary) }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
...
{{ form_rest(form) }}
This works fine, except if the customer has no emails. Then, form_rest() renders the label 'emails' at the bottom of my template.
Why does this only get rendered when form.emails is empty? How can I customize it? (Note I've already customized my label rendering for other form elements, and I don't want it to be the same for these 'collection labels'.)
I usually solved this problem this way:
{% for email in form.emails %}
{# ... #}
{% else %}
{{ form_widget(form.emails) }}
{% endfor %}
Unless someone suggests a better way of doing this.
Imagine I have something like this in my twig template
{% block posLeft %}
-----
{%endblock%}
Is there any way to check for existance of the posLeft block without calling to:
block("posLeft")
And check the return value of the posBlock to varify the existance. I am a newbie in Symfony2 + Twig.
You can solve it like this, if you want to display a certain block only if it has content. Hope, this is what you're looking for.
Example index.html.twig
{% set _block = block('dynamic') %}
{% if _block is not empty %}
{{ _block|raw }}
{% endif %}
Example part.html.twig
{% extends "index.html.twig" %}
{% block dynamic %}
Block content goes here.
{% endblock %}
You can do it like this:
{% if block('posLeft') %}
...
{% endif %}
But it is not efficient if you need output of rendered block.
So if you will need block output you should assign it to variable in the first place
and then do assertions
The other answers here do not work for twig 2.1 (I've not tested on ~2.0), so here's a small update:
{% if block('dynamic') is defined %}
{{ block('dynamic')|raw }}
{% endif %}
Note that the line to render the block is not:
{% block dynamic %}
{# this wont work #}
{% endblock %}
This wont work because the block will be rendered during compile, and so the test will return true that it exists (as its tested at runtime). So you need to render the block with {{ block('dynamic')|raw }} instead as this doesn't actually define the block in the template.
First check, which Twig version you are using inside your Symfony project, because the answers here are only for Twig 1.
If you are using Twig 2 you are lucky. According to the Twig documentation, you can use the defined test to check if the block exists in the current template context.
{% if block("dynamic") is defined %}
...
{% endif %}
I have written a little TwigExtension to check if the block gets called inside the if statement and it seems like Twig only really checks if the block exists and does not call it.
The link to the docs: https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/functions/block.html
If you are using Twig 1, the old answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/13806784/6458657 is still correct.
Twig 2.x
{{ (block("posLeft")) ?? '' }}
If you want to display a block if it's defined or not in one line. Might be a little kludgy but satisfies my needs without a bunch of if..then logic.
Just want to provide another example which worked for me.
<body
{% if block('ngapp') is not empty %}ng-app="{% block ngapp %}{% endblock %}"{% endif %}
>
This allows me in child templates declare {% block ngapp 'myApp' %} and have it displayed within parent.
This was needed because on some pages I was bootstrapping Angular manually via (angular.bootstrap('moduleName', rootElement)) and Angular does not like empty ng-app='' directive and breaks in weird ways.
The accepted answer didn't work for me in Twig 3.3.10, throwing an error that the block wasn't defined.
To solve this and define a block whose contents are conditionally wrapped in a container, only if any block content is set, this worked:
Parent template with block definition and wrapper element
{# parent.twig #}
<h1>Hello. I am the parent.</h1>
{% if block('sidebar') is not empty %}
<div class="sidebar-container">
{% block sidebar %}{% endblock %}
</div>
{% endif %}
Child template setting block content
{% extends 'parent.twig' %}
{% block sidebar %}
Sidebar content from child template
{% endblock %}
Output – block content inside wrapper:
<h1>Hello. I am the parent.</h1>
<div class="sidebar-container">
Sidebar content from child template
</div>
Child template not setting block content
{% extends 'parent.twig' %}
{# sidebar block not set in this one... #}
Output – no empty wrapper element:
<h1>Hello. I am the parent.</h1>
I have a multidimensional array where some objects exist and others don't. I keep getting a
Method "code" for object "stdClass" does not exist in...?
The code I am using in my template is:
{% for item in items %}
<p>{% if item.product.code %}{{ item.product.code }}{% endif %}</p>
{% endfor %}
Some products do not have this code and unfortunately this data structure is provided via a feed, so I cannot change it.
When I looked at the Twig documentation I interpreted that if an object or method was not there it would just return null?
Quickly did a lookup, hope this is works for you :p
defined
defined checks if a variable is defined in the current context. This is very useful if you use the strict_variables option:
{# defined works with variable names #}
{% if foo is defined %}
...
{% endif %}
{# and attributes on variables names #}
{% if foo.bar is defined %}
...
{% endif %}
