It provides wrappers for common View operations and many helpful extensions that expose CakePHP functions and `jasny/twig-extensions` helpers. Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), use the command below. ``` composer require cakephp/twig-view ``` Then, [load the `Cake/TwigView` plugin](https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/plugins.html#loading-a-plugin)in your `Application` bootstrap just like other Cake plugins. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) `TwigView` allows you to configure the Twig Environment through `View` options. You can set these through `ViewBuilder`in the `Controller` or set them directly in `TwigView`. ``` // In controller public function initialize(): void { $this->viewBuilder()->setOption('environment', ['cache' => false]); } // In your AppView public function initialize(): void { $this->setConfig('environment', ['cache' => false]); // Call parent TwigView initialize parent::initialize(); } ``` ### Available Options [](#available-options) - `environment` [Twig Environment options](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/api.html#environment-options). Defaults to empty. - `markdown` Which markdown engine is used for `markdown_to_html` filter. Set to `default` to use `DefaultMarkdown` or set custom [Twig Markdown extension](https://packagist.org/packages/twig/markdown-extra) `MarkdownInterface` instance. If using `default`, require one of: - `erusev/parsedown`- `league/commonmark`- `michelf/php-markdown` Defaults to disabled. AppView Setup ------------- [](#appview-setup) To start using Twig templates in your application, simply extend `TwigView` in your `AppView`. In general, it is safe to add your application's setup in `AppView::initialize()`. ``` namespace App\View; use Cake\TwigView\View\TwigView; class AppView extends TwigView { public function initialize(): void { parent::initialize(); // Add application-specific extensions } } ``` ### Customization [](#customization) You can override several parts of `TwigView` initialization to create a custom Twig setup. - File Extensions You can specify the file extensions used to search for templates by overriding the `$extensions` property. ``` class AppView extends TwigView { protected $extensions = [ '.custom', ]; } ``` - Twig Loader You can override the template loader used by Twig. ``` protected function createLoader(): \Twig\Loader\LoaderInterface { // Return a custom Twig template loader } ``` - Twig Extensions You can override the Twig Extensions loading. If you want to use the built-in `View` wrappers, make sure you load `Cake\TwigView\Twig\Extensions\ViewExtension`. ``` protected function initializeExtensions(): void { // Load only specific extensions } ``` - Twig Profiler You can override the Twig profiler used when `DebugKit` is loaded. ``` protected function initializeProfiler(): void { parent::initializeProfiler(); // Add custom profiler logging using $this->getProfile() } ``` Templates --------- [](#templates) You can create views using Twig templates much like you can with standard CakePHP templates. Templates are loaded the same way wherever they are used and follow the `View` path conventions. ``` {% extends 'Common/base' %} {{ include('Common/helper') }} ``` - Template names are always relative to `App.path.templates` not the current file. - File extensions are automatically generated. Defaults to '.twig'. - Templates can be loaded from plugins the same as `View` templates. Layout templates are supported and loaded the same way as `View` layouts. `templates/layout/default.twig`: ``` {{ fetch('title') }} {{ fetch('meta') }} {{ fetch('css') }} {{ fetch('script') }} {{ fetch('content') }} ``` The layout can be set from the template using the `layout` tag. ``` {% layout 'Error' %} ``` ### Accessing View [](#accessing-view) You can access the `View` instance using the `_view` global. `TwigView` provides wrappers for `fetch()`, `cell()` and `element()` rendering. Cell and element templates are always loaded from **cell/** and **element/** sub-directories the same as `View` templates. ``` {{ fetch('content')}} {{ cell('myCell')}} {{ element('myElement') }} ``` `TwigView` also provides wrappers for any loaded helper using a special naming convention - `helper_Name_function()`. ``` {{ helper_Text_autoParagraph('some text for a paragarph') }} ``` All wrapper functions are pre-escaped and do not require using `|raw` filter. However, keep in mind that Twig keeps the whitespace when using `{{ }}` to print. Please read the Twig documentation on how to remove the extra white space when needed. ### Extension Filters [](#extension-filters) - `low` maps to [`strtolower`](https://php.net/strtolower) - `up` maps to [`strtoupper`](https://php.net/strtoupper) -
