About
=====

[](#about)

Twig.js is a pure JavaScript implementation of the Twig PHP templating language ()

The goal is to provide a library that is compatible with both browsers and server side containers such as node.js.

Twig.js is currently a work in progress and supports a limited subset of the Twig templating language (with more coming).

Documentation is available in the [twig.js wiki](https://github.com/justjohn/twig.js/wiki) on Github.

### Feature Support

[](#feature-support)

For a list of supported tags/filters/functions/tests see the [implementation notes on the wiki](https://github.com/justjohn/twig.js/wiki/Supported-Features---Implementation-Notes).

Node Usage
==========

[](#node-usage)

Twig.js can be installed with NPM

```
npm install twig

```

You can include twig in your app with

```
var twig = require('twig');

```

Twig is compatable with express 2 and 3. You can create an express app using the twig.js templating language by setting the view engine to twig.

app.js
------

[](#appjs)

**Express 3**

```
var Twig = require("twig"),
    express = require('express'),
    app = express();

// This section is optional and used to configure twig.
app.set("twig options", {
    strict_variables: false
});

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('index.twig', {
    message : "Hello World"
  });
});

app.listen(9999);
```

**Express 2**

```
var twig = require("twig"),
    app = require('express').createServer();

app.configure(function () {
    app.set('view engine', 'twig');
    app.set("view options", { layout: false });

    // This section is optional and used to configure twig.
    app.set("twig options", {
        strict_variables: false
    });
});

app.register('twig', twig);

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('index', {
    message : "Hello World"
  });
});

app.listen(9999);
```

views/index.twig
----------------

[](#viewsindextwig)

```
Message of the moment: {{ message }}
```

Browser Usage
=============

[](#browser-usage)

Include twig.js or twig.min.js in your page, then:

```
var template = twig({
    data: 'The {{ baked_good }} is a lie.'
});

console.log(
    template.render({baked_good: 'cupcake'})
);
// outputs: "The cupcake is a lie."
```
