Slim Framework Twig View

This is a Slim Framework view helper built on top of the Twig templating component. You can use this component to create and render templates in your Slim Framework application.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require slim/twig-view

Requires Slim Framework 3 and PHP 5.5.0 or newer.

Usage

// Create Slim app
$app = new \Slim\App();

// Fetch DI Container
$container = $app->getContainer();

// Register Twig View helper
$container['view'] = function ($c) {
    $view = new \Slim\Views\Twig('path/to/templates', [
        'cache' => 'path/to/cache'
    ]);
    
    // Instantiate and add Slim specific extension
    $view->addExtension(new Slim\Views\TwigExtension(
        $c['router'],
        $c['request']->getUri()
    ));

    return $view;
};

// Define named route
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    return $this->view->render($response, 'profile.html', [
        'name' => $args['name']
    ]);
})->setName('profile');

// Run app
$app->run();

Custom template functions

This component exposes a custom path_for() function to your Twig templates. You can use this function to generate complete URLs to any Slim application named route. This is an example Twig template:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block body %}
<h1>User List</h1>
<ul>
    <li><a href="{{ path_for('profile', { 'name': 'josh' }) }}">Josh</a></li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}

Testing
