How would you append more data to the same variable in Twig? For example, this is what I'm trying to do in Twig:
var data = "foo";
data += 'bar';
I have figured out that ~ appends strings together in Twig. When I try {% set data ~ 'foo' %} I get an error in Twig.
The ~ operator does not perform assignment, which is the likely cause of the error.
Instead, you need to assign the appended string back to the variable:
{% set data = data ~ 'foo' %}

Displaying dynamically in twig
{% for Resp in test.TestRespuestasA %}
{% set name = "preg_A_" ~ Resp.id %}
{% set name_aux = "preg_A_comentario" ~ Resp.id %}
<li>{{ form_row(attribute(form, name)) }}</li>
{% endfor %}
You can also define a custom filter like Liquid's |append filter in your Twig instance which does the same thing.
$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem('./path/to/views/dir');
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
...
...
$twig->addFilter(new Twig_SimpleFilter('append', function($val, $append) {
return $val . $append;
}));
Resulting in the following markup:
{% set pants = 'I\'m wearing stretchy pants!' %}
{% set part2 = ' and they\'re friggin\' comfy!' %}
{% set pants = pants|append(part2) %}
{{ pants }}
{# result: I'm wearing stretchy pants! and they're friggin' comfy! #}
IMHO I find the above sample more intuitive than the ~ combinator, especially when working on a shared codebase where people new to the syntax might get a bit mixed up.

I'm looping over a collection of blog posts (Twig for loop) which appearance depends on tags given.
Here a quick example: I want to display all blog posts that have the tags "foo" and "bar".
It seems pretty easy to check if a post has one of the tags.
However it seems that checking if both tags are contained by a blog post isn't trivial.
What I want to accomplish is what the array.every() method in javascript does.
That's my current solution which works as expected but feels kinda fiddly and overcomplicated:
{% set given_tags_array = data.tags|split(',') %}
{% for post in posts %}
{% set post_categories_array = post.categories|map(category => category.name) %}
{% set bool_buffer_array = [] %}
{# push comparison result in bool array #}
{% for tag in given_tags_array %}
{% set bool_buffer_array = bool_buffer_array|merge([tag in post_categories_array]) %}
{% endfor %}
{# only display posts where all tags match #}
{% if false in bool_buffer_array %}
{% else %}
{# post data goes here #}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
As you can see inside the posts loop I'm checking if every given tag (i.e. "foo" and "bar") is part of the post categories array. I'm pushing the comparison result (boolean) to an empty array to check for any false values afterwards.
Why an array? I tried using a simple boolean variable but if any of the given tags is in the post categories array it resolves to true, which isn't exactly what I want.
So something like that doesn't work for me unfortunately:
{% for post in posts %}
{% set post_categories_array = post.categories|map(category => category.name)|sort|join('') %}
{% if given_tags_array|filter(given_tag => given_tag in post_categories_array) %}
{# post data goes here #}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
With this method I'm always doing an or comparison instead of an and comparison...
So...am I missing something and is there a simpler way to do that twig only?
Using the code you've already provided:
{% set temp = given_tags_array|filter(given_tag => given_tag in post_categories_array) %}
The filter filter returns a new array, this means temp should contain as many elements as your given_tags_array, if they are all inside the post_categories_array.
So if I'm not mistaken you could change your check to the following
{% for post in posts %}
{% set post_categories_array = post.categories|map(category => category.name)|sort|join('') %}
{% set temp = given_tags_array|filter(given_tag => given_tag in post_categories_array) %}
{% if temp|length == given_tags_array|length %}
{# display post #}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I'm trying to strip some text from a value and afterwards create an array from it with the stripped values.
I'm having troubles to strip the text value.
I can only do this on the frontend since I have no access to the backend (SaaS platform)
In below example value.value (originally a textarea) returns the following text:
[185047078]1x something - Type 1
[415533322]1x something - something
[152890667]1x something 500x500 mm
I want to strip the text so I have [185047078], [415533322], [152890667] left or without the brackets.
Normally in JS you would do something like:
hide_ids = txt.match(/[^\]\[]+(?=\])/g)
However it need to be done in Twig.
Afterwards I want to push the values into an array hide_ids.
{% set hide_ids = [] %}
{% if product.custom %}
{% for custom in product.custom %}
{% if 'Some title' in custom.title %}
{% for value in custom.values %}
{% set hide_this_id = value.value %}
{% if hide_this_id matches '{/[^\]\[]+(?=\])/g}' %}
{% set hide_ids = hide_ids | merge([hide_this_id]) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% set hidden = false %}
{% if id in hide_ids %}
{% set hidden = true %}
{% endif %}
What is the equivalent of match in Twig? I also tried replace but I just can't get that text stripped.
Any help greatly appreciated!
You could go with some simple string functions.
{% for id in ids %}
{{ id | split(']', 2)[0] | replace({'[': '',}) }}
{% endfor %}
demo
split is the explode of twig. This will separate your string in chased based on the ] character. The 2nd parameter (2) ensures there will only be maximum 2 parts in the array.
replace is just str_replace
If you wanted to solve this with regex you would either need to write a function/filter with preg_match or install an extension like this
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".
Is there an equivalent to this in Twig :
<?php
$a = 'hello';
$b = '<h1>'.$a.'</h1>';
echo $b;
?>
I try this but without success :
{% set a = 'hello' %}
{% set b = <h1>{{a}}</h1> %}
I'm new to twig and couldn't find a way to do this.
To concatenate in Twig you need the tilda symbol, ~
Eg.
{% set a = 'hello' %}
{% set b = '<h1>'~a~'</h1>' %}
Or you can use string interpolation
E.g.
{{ "<h1>{a}</h1>" }}
You can concatenate and dump with the raw filter:
{% set a = 'hello' %}
{% set b = '<h1>' ~ a ~ '</h1>' %}
{{ b|raw }}
Here a working solutions
Using twig, how can I translate all items in an array and join them with a slash?
Do I have to use an additional variable or is there a cleverer method?
For the moment, I'm doing something like this:
{% set labels = [] %}
{% for feature in menu_item.features %}
{% set labels = labels|merge([feature|trans([], 'features')]) %}
{% endfor %}
{{ labels | join(' / ')}}
It sucks.
Why not just output the content while you're looping ?
{% for feature in menu_item.features %}
{% if loop.index0 > 0 %}/{% endif %}
{{feature|trans}}
{% endfor %}
Maybe I'm late to the party, but you can now do this easily with the map filter:
{{ menu_item.features|map(feature => feature|trans)|join(' / ') }}
See documentation:
Twig >v1.41: https://twig.symfony.com/doc/1.x/filters/map.html
Twig >v2.10: https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filters/map.html
Twig v3.x: https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/filters/map.html
Not everything should be done within the "view".
This type of code is probably much better placed within your controller logic and then passed into the view as the merged+joined result. Because in your example all you're doing is compiling a result which can much more easily be done within code.
