Twital takes inspiration from [PHPTal](http://phptal.org/), [TAL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_Attribute_Language)and [AngularJS](http://angularjs.org/) or [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) (just for some aspects), mixing their language syntaxes with the powerful Twig templating engine system. Twital is fully compatible with Twig, all Twig templates can be rendered using Twital. To better understand the Twital's benefits, consider the following **Twital** template, which simply shows a list of users from an array: ``` {{ user.name }} ``` To do the same thing using Twig, you need: ``` {% if users %} {% for user in users %} {{ user.name }} {% endfor %} {% endif %} ``` As you can see, the Twital template is **more readable**, **less verbose** and and **you don't have to worry about opening and closing block instructions**(they are inherited from the HTML structure). One of the main advantages of Twital is the *implicit* presence of control statements, which makes templates more readable and less verbose. Furthermore, it has all Twig functionalities, such as template inheritance, translations, looping, filtering, escaping, etc. If some Twig functionality is not directly available for Twital, you can **freely mix Twig and Twital** syntaxes. In the example below, we have mixed Twital and Twig syntaxes to use Twig custom tags: ``` {% custom_tag %} {{ someUnsafeVariable }} {% endcustom_tag %} ``` When needed, you can extend from a Twig template: ``` Hello {{name}}! ``` You can also extend from Twig a Twital template: ``` {% extends "layout.twital" %} {% block content %} Hello {{name}}! {% endblock %} ``` A presentation of Twital features and advantages is available on [this presentation](https://goetas.bitbucket.io/twital-02-08-2016-berlin-ug/#/). Installation ------------ [](#installation) The recommended ways install Twital is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). ``` composer require goetas/twital ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Go here to read a more detailed documentation about Twital. Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) First, you have to create a file that contains your template (named for example `demo.twital.html`): ``` Hello {{ name }} ``` Afterwards, you have to create a PHP script that instantiate the required objects: ``` require_once '/path/to/composer/vendor/autoload.php'; use Goetas\Twital\TwitalLoader; $fileLoader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('/path/to/templates'); $twitalLoader = new TwitalLoader($fileLoader); $twig = new Twig_Environment($twitalLoader); echo $twig->render('demo.twital.html', array('name' => 'John')); ``` That's it! Symfony Users ------------- [](#symfony-users) If you are a [Symfony](http://symfony.com/) user, you can add Twital to your project using the [TwitalBundle](https://github.com/goetas/twital-bundle). The bundle integrates all most common functionalities as Assetic, Forms, Translations, Routing, etc. Twig Users ---------- [](#twig-users) Starting from version Twital 1.0.0, both twig 1.x and 2.x versions are supported.
