This plugin for version 3 the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Twig Templating Language for your views.
In addition to enabling the use of most of Twig's features, the plugin is tightly integrated with the CakePHP view renderer giving you full access to helpers, objects and elements.
To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ~
.
composer require wyrihaximus/twig-view
Add the following to your config/bootstrap.php
to load the plugin.
Plugin::load('WyriHaximus/TwigView', [
'bootstrap' => true,
]);
Instead of extending from the View
let AppView
extend TwigView
:
namespace App\View;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\View\TwigView;
class AppView extends TwigView
{
}
In Controller/AppController
load your helpers:
public $helpers = ['Html', 'Form']; // And more
Or in your AppView file :
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadHelper('Html');
$this->loadHelper('Form');
}
Note: TwigView will look for its templates with the extension .twig
and then for .tpl
(deprecated).
Replace Template/Layout/default.ctp
by this Layout/default.twig
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
{{ Html.charset()|raw }}
<title>
{{ __('myTwigExample') }}
{{ _view.fetch('title')|raw }}
</title>
{{ Html.meta('icon')|raw }}
{{ Html.css('default.app.css')|raw }}
{{ Html.script('app')|raw }}
{{ _view.fetch('meta')|raw }}
{{ _view.fetch('css')|raw }}
{{ _view.fetch('script')|raw }}
</head>
<body>
<header>
{{ _view.fetch('header')|raw }}
</header>
{{ Flash.render()|raw }}
<section>
<h1>{{ _view.fetch('title')|raw }}</h1>
{{ _view.fetch('content')|raw }}
</section>
<footer>
{{ _view.fetch('footer')|raw }}
</footer>
</body>
</html>
Create a template, for exemple Template/Users/index.twig
like this
{{ _view.assign('title', __("I'm title")) }}
{{ _view.start('header') }}
<p>I'm header</p>
{{ _view.end() }}
{{ _view.start('footer') }}
<p>I'm footer</p>
{{ _view.end() }}
<p>I'm content</p>
With twig $this
is replaced by _view
For example, without using Twig writing
<?= $this->fetch('content') ?>
But with Twig
{{ _view.fetch('content')|raw }}
Any helper you defined in your controller.
public $helpers = ['Html', 'Form']; // ...
Can be access by their CamelCase name, for example creating a form using the FormHelper
:
{{ Html.link('Edit user', {'controller':'Users', 'action': 'edit' ~ '/' ~ user.id}, {'class':'myclass'})|raw }}
Basic
{% element 'Element' %}
With variables or options
{% element 'Plugin.Element' {
dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}
Store in context then echo it
{% cell cellObject = 'Plugin.Cell' {
dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}
{{ cellObject|raw }}
Fetch and directly echo it
{% cell 'Plugin.Cell' {
dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}
If i want extend to Common/demo.twig
<div id="sidebar">
{% block sidebar %}{% endblock %}
</div>
<div id="content">
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
</div>
We can write in a view
{% extends 'Common/demo' %}
{% block sidebar %}
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
{{ _view.assign('title', __("I'm title")) }}
{{ _view.start('header') }}
<p>I'm header</p>
{{ _view.end() }}
{{ _view.start('footer') }}
<p>I'm footer</p>
{{ _view.end() }}
<p>I'm content</p>
{% endblock %}
Note : the block body
is required, it's equivalent to <?= $this->fetch('content') ?>

This plugin emits several events.
The default loader can be replace by listening to the WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\LoaderEvent::EVENT
, for example with twital:
<?php
use Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface;
use Goetas\Twital\TwitalLoader;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\LoaderEvent;
class LoaderListener implements EventListenerInterface
{
public function implementedEvents()
{
return [
LoaderEvent::EVENT => 'loader',
ConstructEvent::EVENT => 'construct',
];
}
public function loader(LoaderEvent $event)
{
$event->result = new TwitalLoader($event->getLoader());
}
/**
* We've also listening in on this event so we can add the needed extensions to check for to the view
*/
public function construct(ConstructEvent $event)
{
$event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.html');
$event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.xml');
$event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.xhtml');
}
}
Extensions can be added to the twig environment by listening to the WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent::EVENT
, for example:
<?php
use Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent;
class LoaderListener implements EventListenerInterface
{
public function implementedEvents()
{
return [
ConstructEvent::EVENT => 'construct',
];
}
public function construct(ConstructEvent $event)
{
$event->getTwig()->addExtension(new YourTwigExtension);
}
}
You can use Bake to generate your basic CRUD views using the theme
option.
Let's say you have a TasksController
for which you want to generate twig templates.
You can use the following command to generate your index, add, edit and view file formatted
using Twig :
bin/cake bake twig_template Tasks all -t WyriHaximus/TwigView
