I'm new to Drupal & Twig and all I need is in my custom theme a twig expression to output the current user's ID. I can't find anything in the template comments, only if a user is logged in true / false.
Is there a simple way to get the ID of the current user? I'm not sure how to implement custom methods in a theme.
thanks!
Hello bobomoreno,
I would suggest you use the module Bamboo Twig.
The Bamboo Twig module provides some Twig extensions with some useful functions and filters aimed to improve the development experience.
You could then enable the sub-module Bamboo Twig - Loaders:
drush en bamboo_twig_loader -y
Finally, you will be able to use the Twig function bamboo_load_currentuser:
<!-- Get Current User -->
{% set user = bamboo_load_currentuser() %}
<div>{{ user.name.value }}</div>
<div>{{ user.uid.value }}</div>
You can find the complete official documentation there.
In your theme find file yourthemename.theme and add following code:
function yourthemename_preprocess(&$vars, $hook)
{
$vars['uid'] = \Drupal::currentUser()->id();
}
now if you edit your twig template for html, page, region, block, field, form element... you can use 'uid' token in your twig. It works for all hooks
If you only need the ID in user.html.twig, it's {{ user.id }}
Here's how D8 now works, in two lines of executable code:
<?php
// This code returns the current user ID.
$account = \Drupal::currentUser();
return $account->id();
The display name is not a field you can configure in {{ content }}. You can get it directly from the user entity:
{{ user.displayname }}
Reference for the php method: AccountInterface::getDisplayName
The Twig Tweak module is very small and yet very powerful. You can get the current user id with drupal_token('current-user:uid') I am using it to pass the current user id to a view like this:
{{ drupal_view('view_name', 'embed_1', drupal_token('current-user:uid')) }}

I am wanting to apply conditional CSS and template code while my Apostrophe CMS installation in "editor mode." However I have not been able to find anything in the documentation.
I have attempted to use the data.global object and the data.page object with no luck.
I am hoping to use something like
{% if data.global.edit %}
<br>
<br>
{% endif %}
You can check for data.page._edit or data.piece._edit, depending on whether it's a page template or a show.html template for a piece, to see if a user has editing privileges. If you're using apostrophe-workflow and you want to see if the user is in draft mode (edit mode) vs live mode you can check data.workflowMode as well.
The Grav's documentation clearly describes how a whole page or a folder could be hidden from unregistered users. It also describes how a whole page could be seen only by particular user groups.
But what about pieces of a page, let's say, some links or a private info I want to show on some conditions?
Ok, for registered users I found a snippet at Login plugin docs:
{% if grav.user.authenticated %}
content for registered users goes here
{% endif %}
But going wider - how can I show/hide pieces of a particular page depending on some custom logic in PHP code, i.e. not necessarily user related?
I'm thinking about a twig/shortcode plugin, something like:
{% if some.custom.condition.or.PHP.function %}
hidden content goes here
{% endif %}
or
[hidden_if_something] hidden content goes here [/hidden_if_something]
But not sure how exactly this should be implemented. So working examples would be appreciated. Thanks.
There is a recipe in the Grav documentation here. This provides an example of how to render the output of a PHP code result in a twig template.
In the example they create a plugin, and implement a twig extension providing access to a php function. They can then simply call that php function like in a twig template.
{{ example() }}
Following that example, you can implement whatever logic you would like in php, and call the function in a twig if statement.
{% if example() == true %}
your conditional output
{% endif %
I want to automatically wrap some html, lets say <span data-id=".."> when I call {{ product.name }} in my twig template.
So when in a twig template, I use {{ product.name }}, I want the output to be: <span data-type="product" data-id="8" data-prop="name">My product name</span>. I cannot use twig filters or macros, since I really need the template syntax to be {{ product.name }}, so the end-user (template designer), does not have to care about it.
The reason I need this is because I am building an on-page editting tool for twig templates, so I need to know the contexts of those variables from within HTML.
I have tried to override the Compiler that the Twig_Environment uses, but I cannot seem to alter the output of the twig variable node.
How can I do this?
EDIT
I wanted to mention that I need this to use the {{ product.name }} syntax, since other designers will work with those templates outside of Symfony 2. I want to make almost all twig variables editable in the front-end, so a solution with filters or macros can indeed work, but it kills the usability and readability of the platform I am writing. There is no public API currently in twig that can achieve what I want, that is why I am fiddling with the twig compiler. I do not have the required knowledge of the Twig internals to achieve this. If someone could point me into a direction that would be great!
UPDATE 2
I have found a place where I can achieve what I want. Every GetAttr node is compiled to $this->getAttribute($someContext, "property"). So if I can change the subclass of compiled twig template, I can achieve what I want. By default all twig templates extend from Twig_Template. I want to extend this method.
How can I change the subclass of all compiled twig templates?
UPDATE 3
I've found a way to use my own base class for all compiled twig templates. I can simply set it as an option on the twig environment, see this link. I hope to get it working tomorrow and I will post a proper answer on how I solved it all together. Not sure how I will handle escaping, since that will happen after the $this->getAttribute() is called.
I think macros are the best candidates for those kind of wrappings.
For example:
main.twig
{% import "macros.twig" as macros %}
{{ macros.display_product(product) }}
macros.twig
{% macro display_product(product) %}
<span data-id="{{ product.id }}" data-prop="name">{{ product.name }}</span>
{% endmacro %}
Context
product:
id: 8
name: My Georgeous Product
Result
<span data-id="8" data-prop="name">My Georgeous Product</span>
See fiddle
I've solved it by wrapping the PrintNode that is created when parsing a VAR_START token (inside the twig parser) with my own EditablePrintNode. In that node I traverse the expression that is compiled by the print node and get the necessary property path and pass that as an argument to a wrapper function around the default twig escape function that is compiled by the PrintNode.
I suggest to write a custom filter. You can find the doc here about how to write and configure in your environment
// an anonymous function
$filter = new Twig_SimpleFilter('my_custom_product_filter', function ($product) {
return '<span data-id="'.$product->getId().'" data-prop="name">'.$product->getName().'</span>';
});
You need to register as described in the doc
then you can use as follow:
{{ myProduct|my_custom_product_filter}}
Hope this help
In the Yii 2.0 guide it says you can register Javascript code in a twig template like this:
{registerJs key='show' position='POS_LOAD'}
$("span.show").replaceWith('<div class="show">');
{/registerJs}
Tried this but it will simply output the whole snippet {registerJs ... as text on the page without adding it to the page's Javascript Code.
Similar commands like registerJsFile or registerCss aren't working either.
Am I missing something? Thanks!
EDIT:
As Mihai P. noted below, {registerJs} is syntax for Smarty templates. So, the question is: is there a similar way to register inline JS in Twig templates? The documentation only mentions registering assets.
You can use this in your Twig template, which is the current view, to call registerJs.
{% set script %}
var app = new Vue({
el: '#vue-widget',
data: {
message: 'Hello Vue!'
}
})
{% endset %}
{{ this.registerJs(script,4,'vue-widget') }}
The question is 3 years old, I put it here for someone runs into a similar problem.
You can use this in the Twig template with View constant like below:
{{ this.registerJs('$("span.show").replaceWith(\'<div class="show">\');', constant('\\yii\\web\\View::POS_HEAD')) }}
And, you can also call registerJs inside the Yii2 controller, which I think it makes the code cleaner
$this->getView()->registerJs('$("span.show").replaceWith(\'<div class="show">\');', \yii\web\View::POS_HEAD);
Your example is copied from the smarty section not the twig. There are some examples in the twig section that you might want to try.
My application shows a list of projects, project detail pages and forms to edit these projects. These are the routes:
/ - list of projects
/project/42 - view project (project detail page)
/project/42/edit - edit project
Only its owner may edit a project.
I have implemented a Voter to prevent access to /project/42/edit for non-owners.
Now, I also want to hide the link "edit project" from the project detail page. What would be the way to do this? Ideally, in Twig, I would like to do something like
{% if may_access(path('project_edit', { 'id': project.id })) %}
edit project
{% endif %}
I can implement this function as a Twig extension, but maybe a similar functionality already exists.
The function is_granted() actually has a second parameter that allows me to do just what I need:
{% if is_granted("MAY_EDIT", project) %}
edit project
{% endif %}
I use this in combination with a check in the controller action:
public function editAction(Project $project)
{
if (!$this->get('security.context')->isGranted('MAY_EDIT', $project)) {
$this->flash('You are not allowed to edit this project');
return $this->show($project);
}
// ...
}
This is actually very similar to the approach that nifr used in his answer to Sonata User - Security on custom field. I was hoping to find a way to have the voter be called automatically and avoid the call to isGranted().
If you want to have a look at the complete code, it is in the tutorial project I have published in github.
