Getting started
Rendering of Twig templates works nearly exactly the same way as rendering Fluid templates.
In contrast to Fluid there are no "layouts" nor "partials" in Twig. Everything is "just" a template. Therefore there are some features missing that you are probably used by Fluid.
Render templates in TypoScript
To render a Twig template you can use the TWIGTEMPLATE content object.
page.10 = TWIGTEMPLATE
page.10 {
templateName = example.html.twig
variables {
foo = TEXT
foo.value = Bar!
}
templateRootPaths {
10 = EXT:cvc_twig/Resources/Private/TwigTemplates/
}
}Render templates in an Extbase controller
If you want to use twig from within your controller, you just have to switch the $default to
\Cvc\. See the example below.
The template file will be automatically set to @controller/@action.@format..
The template that are defined for extbase will be respected.
You should not forget to configure those using TypoScript.
Given you have the following controller; you just have to set the $default to the TwigView class.
<?php
// my_extension/Classes/Controller/MyFantasticalController.php
class MyFantasticalController extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController
{
// setting the default view object class to TwigView will enable the Twig templates
protected $defaultViewObjectName = \Cvc\Typo3\CvcTwig\Extbase\Mvc\View\TwigView::class;
public function someAwesomeAction()
{
// assign the variables as usual
$this->view->assign('foo', 'BAZ!');
}
}The template are configured using TypoScript:
plugin.tx_my_extension {
view {
templateRootPaths.0 = EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Templates/
}
}The Twig template has to be placed in my_
and has to be named My.
{# my_extension/Resources/Private/Templates/MyFantastical/someAwesome.html.twig #}
Foo: {{ foo }}
