To use the Symfony Twig Bundle to render templates, follow these steps:
- Install the Twig Bundle using Composer:composer require symfony/twig-bundle
- In your Symfony application, open the config/bundles.php file and add the following line to enable the Twig Bundle:return [ // ... SymfonyBundleTwigBundleTwigBundle::class => ['all' => true], // ... ];
- Create a Twig template file in the templates/ directory of your Symfony application. For example, you can create a file called index.html.twig:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>{{ page_title }}</title> </head> <body> <h1>{{ page_title }}</h1> <p>{{ page_content }}</p> </body> </html>
- In your controller, create a method that returns a Response object and calls the render method of the Twig_Environment object to render the template. For example:use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponse; use SymfonyComponentRoutingAnnotationRoute; use TwigEnvironment; class MyController { /** * @Route("/my-route") */ public function myAction(Environment $twig) { $page_title = 'My Page Title'; $page_content = 'Welcome to my page!'; $html = $twig->render('index.html.twig', [ 'page_title' => $page_title, 'page_content' => $page_content, ]); return new Response($html); } } Note that you should inject the Twig_Environment object into your controller using the Environment class, which is provided by the Twig Bundle.
- Finally, navigate to the URL of your Symfony application that corresponds to the route defined in your controller. For example, if you defined the route as /my-route, navigate to http://localhost/my-route in your web browser to see the rendered Twig template.
