Twig for Contao Templates
=========================

[](#twig-for-contao-templates)

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

1. Make sure you have your `twig.default_path` set. For example like this:

    ```
    twig:
      default_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/templates'
    ```
2. Put a template you want to provide as a twig version inside your template directory (can be any subdirectory). Name it like the Contao template but with `.html.twig` as file extension instead of `.html5`.

    For example put a `ce_downloads.html.twig` file under `templates/Contao`.
3. Rebuild your cache (the filesystem is scanned for templates in a compiler pass).

    **Note**: for a better DX your templates will always be loaded in the *dev* environment.

    That's it. Your new template is now rendered instead. It has the same context as the existing Contao one would have (`Template->getData()`). ✨

#### Caveats

[](#caveats)

As Contao uses input encoding, you'll need to deal for already encoded variables yourself by adding the `|raw` filter. Use with caution and be sure you know what you are doing.

Some contao templates contain closures that won't be evaluated by Twig - if you want to use them wrap them in the `fn()` function shipping with this bundle. This will simply execute them and return the 'safe' output (no need for `|raw`).

#### Example

[](#example)

```
{# templates/Contao/ce_downloads.html.twig #}

        {% for file in files %}

                    {{ file.link }} ({{ file.filesize }})

        {% endfor %}

```
