Twig Syntax
===========

[](#twig-syntax)

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

This is an attempt to match Twig syntax in PHP.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

I expect this to grow slowly as I need more functionality; I'm not trying to create a total solution, just bridge a temporary gap.

Examples 1
----------

[](#examples-1)

### Twig

[](#twig)

```
{% set classes = [
  'mi',
  'fa',
  'so',
]|merge(classes) %}

```

### TwigSyntax

[](#twigsyntax)

```
$twig = new TwigSyntax;
...
$twig->set(array(
    'mi',
    'fa',
    'so',
))->merge($classes);

```

The result is that `$classes === ['mi', 'fa', 'so', 'do', 're']`.

### Vanilla PHP

[](#vanilla-php)

It is equivalent to:

```
$classes = array_merge(
    array(
        'mi',
        'fa',
        'so',
    ),
    $classes
);

```

Examples 2
----------

[](#examples-2)

Ensuring that classes/$classes exits

### Twig

[](#twig-1)

```
{% set classes = [
  'mi',
  'fa',
  'so',
]|merge(classes|default([])) %}

```

### TwigSyntax

[](#twigsyntax-1)

```
$twig = new TwigSyntax;
...
$classes = isset($classes) ? $classes : array();
$twig->set(array(
    'mi',
    'fa',
    'so',
))->merge($classes);

```

Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure

How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window.

**Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores.

**Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement.

**Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability.
