The Symfony/Twig-Bridge acts as a connector between the Symfony framework and the Twig templating engine. It allows for the use of Twig within a Symfony project, thus offering the benefits of Twig's flexibility, performance, and secure design to your Symfony applications. Furthermore, it permits the integration of various Symfony components with Twig's functionality.
To utilize the Symfony/Twig-Bridge, a suitable Composer package has to be installed first. You do this by running the command composer require symfony/twig-bridge in the root directory of your Symfony project.
Next, add the TwigBridge service to your project. In a standard setup, Symfony will automatically register TwigBridge if it's installed.
Here's a basic example of how to display a variable in a Symfony controller using Twig:
namespace App\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
class YourController extends AbstractController
{
public function yourMethod()
{
$foo = 'Twig Bridge in action!';
// render a twig template and pass the variable
return $this->render('your_template.html.twig', [
'foo' => $foo
]);
}
}
In the example above, the variable $foo will be accessible in the your_template.html.twig Twig template, courtesy of the Symfony/Twig-Bridge.
Remember to properly structure your HTML code and use relevant meta tags in your Twig templates to ensure SEO-friendliness.
