Helpers for using Twig with WordPress

WordPress Twig Helper   [![Scrutinizer Code Quality][3]][4]

A tiny Library for using Twig Templates in WordPress Plugins & Themes., _(*1)

Usage

The WpTwigHelper\TwigHelper is a helper class that provides the bulk of the functionality., _(*2)

First give the TwigHelper a base directory. This will usually correspond to your plugin or theme directory. It must contain a templates sub directory that contains the .twig templates., _(*3)

<?php use WpTwigHelper\TwigHelper;

$helper = new TwigHelper();
$helper->setBaseDir(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__));

Then if you have the template hello.twig in the templates directory with the contents,, _(*4)

Hello {{ name }}

You can render the template with the render method. It returns the output of rendering the twig template. Use the display method to echo the output instead., _(*5)

<?php
$helper->render('hello', array('name' => 'there'));

Precompiling Templates

You can optionally precompile the templates using the provided command line tool, twig_compile. It takes the source directories to compile and the destination to put the compiled twig templates into., _(*6)

$ twig_compile -s templates -t dist/templates

This command can be added to your build process., _(*7)

By default the TwigHelper looks for compiled templates in the dist/templates directory. If present the Twig compilation phase is skipped. This will speed up rendering of your templates as it's equivalent to using inline PHP., _(*8)

When dist/templates is absent caching is turned off instead., _(*9)

System Requirements

• Same as Twig, ie:- PHP 5.3.2+
