Is there any facility to generate a path for a given route and arguments, appending the query string automatically? As a temporary workaround i'm using a self made macro:
{% macro path(route, args, with_query) %}
{% spaceless %}
{% set with_query = with_query|default(false) and app.request.queryString %}
{{ path(route, args) ~ (with_query ? '?' ~ app.request.queryString : '' ) }}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endmacro %}
Is there some native function in Symfony2/Twig for doing this?
A nice thing with path Twig extension is that unknow parameters passed through the args array are automatically appended at the end of the URL as GET paramaters :
{{ path('route_id', {'routeParam':'foo', 'unknownParam':'bar'}) }}
will produce
/path/to/route/foo?unknownParam=bar
As simple as :
{{ path('route_id', app.request.query.all) }}

I am trying to print array from the cotroller into the twig temlate. I want to print "-" whenever array is NULL. My problem is that in for-loop case it writes nothing, however single row working fine. Is there some simple way how to do it correctly?
this is not working as i expected
{% for key in keywords|default('-') %}
{{ key~', '}}
{% endfor %}
this is working
{{ key |default('-')}}
You can use an {% else %} construct on a for loop to do something else if the array is null:
{% for key in keywords %}
{{ key~', '}}
{% else %}
-
{% endfor %}
See the documentation here.
I have to set a variable with a macro, that returns a number, so I have this macro:
{% import _self as self %}
{% macro function_size(field) %}
{% import _self as self %}
{# initial Setup #}
{% set field_length = 0 %}
{# Field #}
{% for key, value in field %}
{% if not (key starts with "#") %}
{% set field_length = field_length + 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ field_length }}
{% endmacro %}
The Macro loops through the entries of a field and returns the count of values, that don't start with "#".
So I set a variable with that value:
{% set image_size = self.function_size(content.field_teaser_image) %}
ATTENTION: With this you will set the Variable with Twig Markup. (You can see that when you debug the variable afterwards.)
To get a number/integer as value you have to convert it to a String (that will be interpreted as a number if you calculate with it)
{% set image_size = image_size.__toString %}
With this I set the Variable successfully with a macro.
My Question: Is this a bad practice, are there better ways how to set an Variable?
Thank you!
Two ways to set variables for twig are fine in my opinion.
1. Use theme and other hooks (inside theme or any module) and pass variable from php,
2. create twig extension/filter
Examples:
Filter:

Extension:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/templating/twig_extension.html
I've made a couple of twig extensions but I'm stumped on this one.
I have the following template logic that I want to make into an extension.
I need reuse this logic into many different forms instead of copying and pasting the following code everywhere:
{% if html5validation is not defined %}
{{ form_start(some_form) }}
{% else %}
{% if html5validation %}
{{ form_start(some_form) }}
{% else %}
{{ form_start
(
company, {'attr': {'novalidate': 'novalidate'}}
)
}}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
With the above code from the controller I can do the following to turn the html5 validator on and off:
$this->render(..., array(html5validation => false));
I want put the template logic into the twig extension below...
I just don't know if it's possible to implement what I've done above in a twig extension.
class HTML5Validation extends \Twig_Extension
{
public function getFunctions()
{
return array(
new \Twig_SimpleFunction('html5validation', array($this, 'setValidation')),
);
}
public function setValidation($boolean)
{
//Implement the same logic as the twig template.
}
public function getName()
{
return 'html5validator';
}
}
The short answer is no - you can't do this using a twig extension, it's not what they're meant for.
Looking at your template fragment I'd say you need to customise the form_start block. To do this see Symfony Form Theming and How to customise form rendering.
EDIT: This solution does not work if your customised code requires local twig variables - only global twig variables are available for form theming. You can define your own twig globals in config.yml or in a twig extension.
For example, to override form_start globally, you find the default definition of the form_start block in form_div_layout.html.twig, copy it into your own form theme file e.g. YourBundle/Form/fields.html.twig, modify it as required and and update the twig configuration to apply your form theme file. Something like this:
{# src/YourBundle/Form/fields.html.twig #}
{% extends 'form_div_layout.html.twig' %}
{% block form_start -%}
{% if html5validation is not defined %}
{{ parent() }}
{% else %}
{% if html5validation %}
{{ parent() }}
{% else %}
{{ parent
(
company, {'attr': {'novalidate': 'novalidate'}}
)
}}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{%- endblock form_start %}
Config:
# app/config/config.yml
twig:
form:
resources:
- 'YourBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'
I actually found a better way to do what I wanted.
As a plus it works globally instead of having to populate more fields into your controller!
In YourBundle/Resources/views/validation.toggle.html.twig
{% extends 'form_div_layout.html.twig' %}
{% block form_start -%}
{% if html5validation is defined and html5validation == false %}
{% set attr = attr|merge({'novalidate': 'novalidate'}) %}
{% endif %}
{{ parent() }}
{%- endblock form_start %}
Then if you want to turn off html5 validation across the whole website:
# app/config/config.yml
twig:
global:
html5validation: false
Or
Even better just use it in your dev_config.yml if you want validation on by default on production mode but the ability to toggle validation on and off for dev mode.
# app/config/dev_config.yml
twig:
global:
html5validation: false
resources:
- 'YourBundle::validation.toggle.html.twig'
Finally use it in your twig template normally:
{% form_theme your_form 'YourBundle::validation.toggle.html.twig' %}
form_start(your_form)
Reusable and non invasive, exactly like I wanted it. :)
I got the hint from:
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/11409#issuecomment-49358377
In the absence of a more elegant solution, you can always put the twig fragment given in your question into a separate file and use twig include from your various forms. The included fragment has access to the variables from the surrounding context:
{# YourBundle/Resources/views/form_start.html.twig #}
{% if html5validation is not defined %}
{{ form_start(some_form) }}
{% else %}
{% if html5validation %}
{{ form_start(some_form) }}
{% else %}
{{ form_start
(
company, {'attr': {'novalidate': 'novalidate'}}
)
}}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
Then in the twig file for the form:
{% include 'YourBundle::form_start.html.twig' %}
If you typically pass a 'form' variable into render() in your controller(s) then you can use that in your form_start fragment. Otherwise you can pass the appropriate form in as a variable:
{% include 'YourBundle::form_start.html.twig' with {'form': localForm} %}
I want to use an filter in an if condition in Twig. The reason for this is a Symfony2 attribute, which I can't compare directly, I have to change it beforehand. I have started with this code:
{% if app.request.attributes.get('_controller')|split('::')|first == 'some\controller\name' %}
do something
{% endif %}
Unfortunately this does not function. So I thought I would use set before the comparison:
{% set controller = app.request.attributes.get('_controller')|split('::')|first %}
{% if controller == 'some\controller\name' %}
do something
{% endif %}
{{ controller }} {# would print 'some\controller\name' #}
Guess what? "do something" is not printed, even if the variable controller now exists and has the value I compare it with. What am I doing wrong?
Ok I tested it, Twig has a strange behavior. "\" is escaped or something like this.
I extended my twig environement with the var_dump function, check this:
{{ var_dump("Sybio\Bundle\WebsiteBundle\Controller\MainController") }}
//string(48) "SybioBundleWebsiteBundleControllerMainController"
{{ var_dump(app.request.attributes.get('_controller')|split('::')|first) }}
// string(52) "Sybio\Bundle\WebsiteBundle\Controller\MainController"
{{ var_dump("Sybio\\Bundle\\WebsiteBundle\\Controller\\MainController") }}
// string(52) "Sybio\Bundle\WebsiteBundle\Controller\MainController"
That's why your test is always false.
You need to double the backslashes of your compared string...
{% if app.request.attributes.get('_controller')|split('::')|first == 'some\\controller\\name' %}
do something
{% endif %}
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 %}
