I am passing something to a macro and performing some operations on it. I am storing the result in a variable. Now I want to access this variable outside the macro.
Is there a way we can do this?
Example:
{% macro setexpression() %}
{% set expression = "Hello World!" %}
{% endmacro %}
I call the macro and expression should be available outside.
{{ setexpression() }}
{{ expression }} // This should return Hello World!
I found a hacky way to do this.
{% macro returnSomething() %}
{% set returnVar = "Hello there" %}
{{returnVar}}
{% endmacro %}
And then, the calling code will be:
{% set returned = returnSomething() %}
{{returned}} // this will have 'Hello there' in it
Is there a better way in which I can achieve the same?

I need to render a list of HTML elements with content and put it into a variable. How can I do this efficient in twig?
e.g. I need to render the post tracking URLs from an order which can have several shippings / parcels.
{% for delivery in order.deliveries %}
{% for trackingCode in delivery.getTrackingCodes() %}
{{ trackingCode }}<br/>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Instead of printing this directly into the output I like first to put this rendered output into a variable like
{% set output = ... %}
...
{{ output }}
How can I do this in twig?
Just the concatenate the html to the output variable. Keep in mind you'll need to define to the variable outside the for-loop in order to use it outside the loop.
{% set foo = '' %}
{% for i in 1..10 %}
{% set foo = foo ~ ''~i~'' %}
{% endfor %}
{{ foo|raw }}
demo
After long search I found a better more efficient way
you can use {% set var %} with {% endset %} as a whole output block. Means the whole output will be set to the variable. This makes the life much easier and readable.
e.g.
{% set trackingText %}
{% for delivery in order.deliveries %}
{% for trackingCode in delivery.getTrackingCodes() %}
{{ trackingCode }}<br/>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endset %}
...
{% if trackingText|trim is not empty %}
You can track the delivery by using the following URL:<br/>
{{ trackingText }}
<br/>
{% endif %}
I'm not able to access template variable in TWIG macro.
Here is a simplified example:
{% set myname = "Ligio" %}
{{ _self.pagedurl(1) }}
{% macro pagedurl(page) %}
Hi {{ _self.myname }}! This is Page Num {{ page }}
{% endmacro %}
How can I access the variable myname without passing it to the macro?
You can not.
As stated in the documentation:
As PHP functions, macros don't have access to the current template
variables.
Your only solution is to pass the parameter to the macro:
{% import _self as flow %}
{{ flow.pagedurl(1, "Ligio") }}
{% macro pagedurl(page, myname) %}
Hi {{ myname }}! This is Page Num {{ page }}
{% endmacro %}
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You may have noticed in my example, I call {% import _self as flow %}.
This is something you MUST do:
When you define a macro in the template where you are going to use it,
you might be tempted to call the macro directly via _self.input()
instead of importing it; even if seems to work, this is just a
side-effect of the current implementation and it won't work anymore in
Twig 2.x.
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/macro.html
If you need to pass more than one global variable into the macro, you might find the _context variable useful:
{% macro mymacro(globalvars) %}
Value of the global variable pi is {{ globalvars.pi }}
{% endmacro %}
{% set pi = 3.14159 %}
{{ _self.mymacro(_context) }}
Ref: this or this answer.
You can set a global variable and access it anywhere in the template
$loader = new \Twig_Loader_Filesystem('path/to/templates');
$twig = new \Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->addGlobal('V_Name', 'V_Value');
Here is my current code:
{% for module in page.collection() %}
{% set index = loop.index %}
{{ module.content|raw }}
{% endfor %}
I'd like to access index inside the module.html.twig, or even better, the entire loop variable.
How do I do that?
I found it myself:
{% for module in page.collection() if not module.header.visible is same as(false) %}
{% include module.template ~ '.html.twig' with {'page':module, 'loop':loop} %}
{% endfor %}
This loop willautomatically grab the template which is linked to the modular page and pass the required variables down. Also, the loop will only include modular subpages which are not hidden. Great, isn't it?
I want to reuse pretty heavy logic only code a few times, in php I would use a function, but in twig I went with a solution from this old question.
In short, I use a macro like that:
{% import _self as test %}
{% macro check() %}
{{ test }}
{% endmacro %}
{% set v = test.check() %}
{% if v == 'test' %}
this should display
{% endif %}
Here is a fiddle: https://twigfiddle.com/kyv3zr/2
The problem is that v is a Twig_markup object. It doesn't seem to have any public properties. Running dump on it gives me this:
object(Twig_Markup)#1244 (2) { ["content":protected]=> string(13) " 1 " ["charset":protected]=> string(5) "UTF-8" }
How do I use it in an if statement?
Or is there a better way of storing a logic only code for reuse across templates?
If the object is called v then the dump seems to show it has a content value, so try:
{% if v.content == '1' %}
{# do something here #}
{% endif %}
not certain though, but try it.
EDIT #2 - based on comments question.
So I guess if you want to use v in an if statement, you would use it like so:
{% if v == '1' %}
{# do something here #}
{% endif %}
This presumes it does equal to "1".
I want to replace part of string characters with asterisks in Twig.
For example:
SomePartlyVisibleStringHere
I want to change every letter after 4th in this string with asterisks, to have result like that:
Some*********************
Is it possible to do without defining new Twig helper?
You could make a macro (a function in Twig) and call it whenever you want to do this.
{% macro redact(topSecret) %}
{% set length = topSecret|length - 4 %}
{{ topSecret|slice(0, 3) }}{% for i in 0..length %}*{% endfor %}
{% endmacro %}
{# You have to import from _self if the macro is declared in the same file. #}
{% import _self as sharpie %}
{{ sharpie.redact('Top secret information') }}
{# => Top******************* #}
Example: https://twigfiddle.com/aobt8s
This worked for me:
{% set string = 'SomePartlyVisibleStringHere' %}
{% set starCount = string|length - 4 %}
{{ string[:4] }}{% for i in 1..starCount %}*{% endfor %}
If you have to do it more than once I would suggest making a custom filter, then you can just do:
{% set string = 'SomePartlyVisibleStringHere' %}
{{ string|customFilterName }}
