Yii View Twig Renderer

The package is an extension of the Yii View Rendering Library. This extension provides a ViewRender that would allow you to use Twig view template engine.

Requirements

PHP 8.1 - 8.4

Installation

The package could be installed with Composer:

composer require yiisoft/view-twig

General usage

In your application, you should specify the configuration for Twig (by default, this is config/packages/yiisoft/view-twig/common.php):

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

        $twig = new Environment($loader, [
            'cache' => $container
                ->get(Aliases::class)
                ->get('@runtime/cache/twig'),
            'charset' => 'utf-8',
        ]);

        $twig->addExtension(new YiiTwigExtension($container));
        return $twig;
    },
];

And also override the configuration for WebView (by default, this is config/packages/yiisoft/view/web.php):

use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface;
use Twig\Environment;
use Yiisoft\Aliases\Aliases;
use Yiisoft\View\WebView;
use Yiisoft\View\Twig\ViewRenderer;

/** @var array $params */
   
return [
    //...
    WebView::class => static function (ContainerInterface $container) use ($params): WebView {
        $webView = new WebView(
            $container
                ->get(Aliases::class)
                ->get('@views'),
            $container->get(EventDispatcherInterface::class),
        );

        $webView = $webView
            ->withDefaultExtension('twig')
            ->withRenderers(['twig' => new ViewRenderer($container->get(Environment::class))])
        ;

        $webView->setCommonParameters($params['yiisoft/view']['commonParameters']);
        return $webView;
    },
    //...
];

Template

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

The get(string $id); function allows you to get the definition that was set by the container, this function is available in all view templates and layouts:

{{ get('App\\Widget\\PerformanceMetrics').widget()|raw }}

The default main layout of the application template will look like this:

{% do assetManager.register(['App\\Asset\\AppAsset', 'App\\Asset\\CdnFontAwesomeAsset']) %}
{% do this.addCssFiles(assetManager.getCssFiles()) %}
{% do this.addCssStrings(assetManager.getCssStrings()) %}
{% do this.addJsFiles(assetManager.getJsFiles()) %}
{% do this.addJsStrings(assetManager.getJsStrings()) %}
{% do this.addJsVars(assetManager.getJsVars()) %}
{{ this.beginPage()|raw }}
