[](#usage)

You should specify `twig` and `view` in the configuration:

```
//Twig
return [
    //...
    //Twig
    \Twig\Environment::class => static function (Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container) {
        $loader = new \Twig\Loader\FilesystemLoader($container->get(Yiisoft\Aliases\Aliases::class)->get('@views'));

        return new \Twig\Environment($loader, array_merge([
            'cache' =>$container->get(Yiisoft\Aliases\Aliases::class)->get('@runtime/cache/twig'),
            'charset' => 'utf-8',
        ], []));
    },
    //View
    WebView::class => static function (Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container) {
        $webView = new Yiisoft\View\WebView(
            $container->get(Yiisoft\Aliases\Aliases::class)->get('@views'),
            $container->get(Yiisoft\View\Theme::class),
            $container->get(Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface::class),
            $container->get(\Psr\Log\LoggerInterface::class)
        );

        $webView->setDefaultParameters(
            [
                'assetManager' => $container->get(Yiisoft\Assets\AssetManager::class),
                'urlGenerator' => $container->get(Yiisoft\Router\UrlGeneratorInterface::class),
            ]
        );

        $webView->setDefaultExtension('twig');

        $webView->setRenderers([
            'twig' => new \Yiisoft\Yii\Twig\ViewRenderer($container)
        ]);

        $container->get(\Twig\Environment::class)->addExtension(new \Yiisoft\Yii\Twig\Extensions\Yii_Twig_Extension($container));

        return $webView;
    },
    //...
]
```

All variables that were in the regular template are also available in the twig template.

- `get(string id)` this is a function of accessing the container, in addition, there is a global variable throughout the templates `container`

```
