[](#zfctwig-module-for-laminas-)

ZfcTwig is a module that integrates the [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org) templating engine with [Laminas](https://getlaminas.org/) / [Zend Framework](https://framework.zend.com).

Information
-----------

[](#information)

this is a fork of [ZF-Commons/ZfcTwig](https://github.com/ZF-Commons/ZfcTwig). I added ZF3 support, so the module works with Laminas / Zend Framework 2 and 3. If you found a bug, please report it, just pm me in [gitter](https://gitter.im/kokspflanze) or open a PullRequest.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Add `"kokspflanze/zfc-twig": "dev-master"` to your `composer.json` file and run `php composer.phar update`.
2. Add `ZfcTwig` to your `config/application.config.php` file under the `modules` key.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

ZfcTwig has sane defaults out of the box but offers optional configuration via the `zfctwig` configuration key. For detailed information on all available options see the [module config file](https://github.com/kokspflanze/ZfcTwig/blob/master/config/module.config.php)class.

Documentation
-------------

### Setting up Twig extensions

[](#setting-up-twig-extensions)

Extensions can be registered with Twig by adding the FQCN to the `extensions` configuration key which is exactly how the ZfcTwig extension is registered.

```
// in module configuration or autoload override
return [
    'zfctwig' => [
        'extensions' => [
            // an extension that uses no key
            'My\Custom\Extension',

            // an extension with a key so that you can remove it from another module
            'my_custom_extension' => 'My\Custom\Extension'
        ]
    ]
];
```

### Configuring Twig loaders

[](#configuring-twig-loaders)

By default, `ZfcTwig` uses a `Twig\Loader\ChainLoader` so that loaders can be chained together. A convenient default is setup using a [filesystem loader](https://github.com/kokspflanze/ZfcTwig/blob/master/config/module.config.php#L31) with the path set to `module/Application/view` which should work out of the box for most instances. If you wish to add additional loaders to the chain you can register them by adding the service manager alias to the `loaders` configuration key.

```
// in module configuration or autoload override
return [
    'zfctwig' => [
        'loader_chain' => [
            'MyTwigFilesystemLoader'
        ]
    ]
];

// in some module
public function getServiceConfiguration()
{
    return [
        'factories' => [
            'MyTwigFilesystemLoader' => function($sm) {
                return new \Twig\Loader\FilesystemLoader('my/custom/twig/path');
            }
        ]
    ];
}
```

### Using ZF View Helpers

[](#using-zf-view-helpers)

Using ZF view helpers is supported through the [ZfcTwig\\Twig\\FallbackFunction](https://github.com/kokspflanze/ZfcTwig/blob/master/src/Twig/FallbackFunction.php)function.

```
{# Simple view helper echo #}
{{ doctype() }}

{# Echo with additional methods #}
{{ headTitle('My Company').setSeparator('-') }}

{# Using a view helper without an echo #}
{% do headTitle().setSeparator('-') %}

{# Combining view helpers #}
{% set url = ( url('my/custom/route') ) %}
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Example .twig files for the skeleton application can be found in the [examples](https://github.com/kokspflanze/ZfcTwig/tree/master/examples)folder.

Gotchas
-------

[](#gotchas)

ZF does not support multiple renderers with view helpers very well. As a workaround, ZfcTwig registers its own `HelperPluginManager` that extends the default `Laminas\View\HelperPluginManager` and adds the default as a peering manager. This let's ZfcTwig register its own renderer with view helpers that require it and fallback to the default manager for view helpers that do not require one.

As a caveat, you *must* register view helpers that require a renderer with ZfcTwig. An example can be seen in `config/module.config.php` where the HelperConfig for the default navigation helpers is registered with ZfcTwig.
