A Sublime Text package that offers enhanced syntax highlighting, snippets, completions and much more for PHP Twig templates. Read more for the full documentation.
- Indentation for code blocks.
- Snippets for common code blocks.
- Key bindings to make your life easier.
- Enhanced syntax highlighting for Twig templates.
- Autocompletions for built in tags, filters, functions, tests & loop variables.
Install Twig via Package Control. Once you have Package Control setup in Sublime Text, open the command palette and search for Package Control: Install Package
. Search for Twig
. There should be a package with the URL as https://github.com/Sublime-Instincts/BetterTwig. Install it.
Package Control will take care for of automatically updating the package for you if there are new releases.
In Sublime Text open the Preferences > Browse Packages menu item. In the Packages directory you should now see, clone this repository in a new directory called "Twig".
By default, this package supports the following Twig extensions,
.twig
.htm.twig
.html.twig
Since a user can have more than one templating language package installed, this package doesn't support .html
directly. To get highlighting for .html
files with Twig code and all the other features this package provides, you can follow any of the two approaches given below
-
Go to the bottom right status bar item that displays information on current syntax and click on that when the currently open file is any
.html
file. From there go toOpen all with current extensions as ...
and scroll to selectHTML (Twig)
. You should now be good to go. -
When the currently open file is a
.twig
file, from the main menu, go toPreferences -> Settings -- Syntax Specific
. This should open a 2 column new window, with the default settings on the right and a user settings on the left. In the user settings, add the following, save & close.
{
"extensions": [
".html"
]
}
- The key bindings are configured so that pressing shift + { twice will automatically add spaces on both sides for the inner brace expression block & place the cursor in the center, like so
{{ | }}
. - Similarly, pressing shift + % within
{}
will add spaces on both sides of the inner%
like so{% | %}
- Use ctrl + / or ctrl + shift + / for Twig comments (
{# This is a Twig comment #}
) - Use # within strings, to get the interpolation expression, like so
#{|}
.
Basic snippets for each keyword are provided to create expressions without bothering with {% %}
.
