Pass set from child to parent then to include twig - twig

Hi I need to pass color variable from a child file to include that is in parent file.
I try to make a simple example:
//File: _navbar.html.twig
<header class="navbar navbar-{{ color }}">...</header>
//File: base.html.twig
<body>
{{ include('_navbar.html.twig', {color: color}) }}
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{{ include('_footer.html.twig') }}
</body>
//File: theme.html.twig
I want to pass color from here
I try to make a block in base.html.twig file like this:
{% block navbar_style %}{% set color="light" %}{% endblock %}
and rewrite the block in theme.html.twig but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Ok, i answer my self.
//File: _navbar.html.twig
<header class="navbar navbar-{{ color }}">...</header>
//File: base.html.twig
<body>
{{ include('_navbar.html.twig', {color: color ?? 'light'}) }}
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{{ include('_footer.html.twig') }}
</body>
//File: theme.html.twig
{% set color="dark" %}
i set color directly in theme.html.twig and not in any block then I set a default value when I pass the variable to the included file.

how can I use twig blocks in my twig templates?

I have a problem, I am using twig templates and am trying to use blocks to separate my code but I have the following error:
Twig_Error_Loader: Template "index.html.twig" is not defined in "requestchange/main.twig" at line 1
index.html.twig is my main template layout
I have added in: {% block content %}{% endblock %}
then in my main.twig , I am extending the index.html.twig file and then putting my content within another {% block content %}{% endblock %}
Can someone please help me here?
You should understand how Template Inheritance works in Twig.
Here is simple example:
default.twig as a default layout
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
index.twig as a home page
{% extends 'default.twig' %}
{% block title %}Home page{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
{% endblock %}
And be attentive with path that you point in the extends tag.

Twig, is it possible to override an tag atribute of parent template from a child template?

I have two templates, a parent template and a child template.
I want know if its possible to add 'properly' a class to a tag in the parent template from the child template ? and if yes, how ?
By example, if I have this parent.html.twig file :
<body>
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
{% block javascripts %}{% endblock %}
</body>
And this child.html.twig file :
{% extends 'parent.html.twig' %}
{% block body %}
{# ... #}
{% endblock %}
From the child.html.twig file, can I add a class to the body tag ? and how ?
Thanks for help :)
You should modify the parent template adding a block, as example:
parent.html.twig
<body {% block bodyclass %}{% endblock %}>
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
{% block javascripts %}{% endblock %}
</body>
and use in the child:
child.html.twig
{% extends 'parent.html.twig' %}
{% block bodyclass %}class="child-class"{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
{# ... #}
{% endblock %}
You can try in this twigfiddle

Extending twig blocks in a complicated scenario

Let's say I have these twig templates:
base.twig
{# base.twig #}
<html>
<head>
{% include 'head_js.twig' %}
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
head_js.twig
{# head_js.twig #}
{% block headJS %}
<script src='/js/some-script.js'></script>
{% block headJSExtra %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}
page.twig (the one loaded by the controller)
{# page.twig #}
{% extends base.twig %}
{% block content %}
<p>Widget 1</p>
{% include 'widget.twig' with { name: 'foo' } %}
<p>Widget 2</p>
{% include 'widget.twig' with { name: 'bar' } %}
{% endblock %}
widget.twig
{# widget.twig #}
{% if wigetAlreadyIncluded is not defined %}
{% block headJSExtra %}
{{ parent() }}
<script src='/js/widget.js'></script>
{% endblock %}
{% set widgetAlreadyIncluded = true %}
{% endif %}
<p>My name is {{ name }}</p>
This code doesn't work (can't use parent() in widget.twig as it's not extending or using any template), but it should illustrate what I'm trying to achieve. The basic idea is:
In order to work, widget.twig requires a js library to be loaded in as a tag in the .
The widget can be rendered several times in one page.
Other widgets should be able to also add their own tags in the in this fashion, but they shouldn't override previous added tags (they should be appended).
I don't want to add more than once any tag required by any widget found in the page.
Any ideas on how can I achieve this would be greatly appreciated. I've read two SO related questions with no luck at all.

I finally got a good answer in the twig github issue tracker.

Extend Twig template without blocks

I have layout template
<html>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
And many child templates like this
{% extends 'layout/default.twig' %}
{% block content %}
<p>content</p>
{% endblock %}
And it's very annoying that every single child template in Twig must include {% block content %}...{% endblock %} to be extended by parent block, otherwise there will be error: A template that extends another one cannot have a body.
Is there any solution to bind all child template output(that is not located in any block) in some variable, and then use it to paste in parent template? Like this:
Layout
<html>
<body>
{{ _context.childOutput }
</body>
</html>
Child
{% extends 'layout/default.twig' %}
<p>content</p>
It will make child templates code more compact and there will be no dependency from parent templates blocks name.
UPD Submitted new issue on Twig's GitHub https://github.com/twigphp/Twig/issues/2027
The 2 lines you have in each template allows you aswell to redefine many blocks in one template. I can't see how the solution you want can do that.
<html>
<head>
{% block meta %}{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
you can see include and embed but if you really have only one block in your templates twig is maybe not the solution you need
While seeing in this GitHub issue that you define variables in the controller, I had the following idea. I'll assume that the child template only contain static code since you didn't describe this point.
You can modify the function in your controller in order to fetch the content of the child template then pass it to the parent template directly:
function acmeAction()
{
// …
return $this->render(
'AcmeBundle:layout:default.html.twig',
array(
'title' => $title,
'description' => $description,
'content' => file_get_contents(
$this->container->get('kernel')->locateResource(
'#AcmeBundle/Resources/views/layout/child.html.twig'
)
)
)
);
}
And the parent template:
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{% block description %}{{ description }}{% endblock %}" />
</head>
<body>
{% block body %}{{ content }}{% endblock %}
</body>
This way you won't need to define the parent in the child template.
You can define some variables in the child and display them in the parent:
Layout
<html>
<body>
{{ myValue }
</body>
</html>
Child
{% set myValue %}
<p>content</p>
{% endset %}
{% include 'layout/default.twig' %}
This works because:
Included templates have access to the variables of the active context.
Source: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/include.html
And it's very annoying that every single child template in Twig must include {% block content %}...{% endblock %} to be extended by parent block
While it may sound annoying when you only have one variable, you will see the benefits of this approach when you will have to define also the title of the page, the JavaScript code, etc. In this case the use of multiple {% block … %} is really useful.
See this example:
Layout
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{% block javascript %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
Child
{% extends 'layout/default.twig' %}
{% block title %}
My title
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<p>content</p>
{% endblock %}
{% block javascript %}
<script>…</script>
{% endblock %}

Twig rendering Controller in div of another Controller

I have a problem with the following use case: I render a controller in a twig template where I have a navigation div with two links in it. In the middle of my page I have a div in which I would like to render the result of another controller. The decision which controllers twig should render is up to the click on the menu links. I hope the following code makes clear, what I mean:
{% extends 'base.html.twig' %}
{% block scripts %}
{{ parent() }}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$( "#menu" ).menu();
});
</script>
<style>
.ui-menu {margin-bottom: 10px !important;}
</style>
{% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}
{{ parent() }}
<link href="{{ asset('css/sstm_style.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" />
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
{{ parent() }}
<div id="module_title"><h1>Lizenznehmer-Stammdaten</h1></div>
<nav>
<h5>Was möchten Sie tun?</h5>
<ul id="menu">
<li>Lizenznehmer anlegen</li>
<li>Lizenznehmer bearbeiten</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<div id="main">
{# fill div with either CreateLicenseController or ChangeLicenseController #}
</div>
{% endblock %}
I know of the embed tag which renders a controller in a block of another controllers twig but I don't know how to tell twig at runtime which controller should be rendered
You mean to generate controller by ajax request? Or you know which controller you need when rendering?
If the last one, you can use if:
{% if needCreate %}
{{ render(controller('YourBundle:YourController:CreateLicenseController') }}
{% else %}
{{ render(controller('YourBundle:YourController:ChangeController') }}
{% endif %}
If you want load it by ajax, you shall make it in javascript, not in twig.
