The Twig-View PHP component helps you render Twig templates in your application. This component is available on Packagist, and it’s easy to install with Composer like this:
composer require slim/twig-view
Next, you need to add the middleware to the Slim app:
Note: For production scenarios, cache should be set to some
'path/to/cache' to store compiled templates (thus avoiding recompilation on every request).
For more information, see Twig environment options
$app->get('/', function ($request, $response) {
$view = Twig::fromRequest($request);
return $view->render($response, 'home.html.twig', [
'name' => 'John',
]);
});
// Run app
$app->run();
In this example, $view invoked inside the route callback is a reference to the \Slim\Views\Twig instance returned by the fromRequest method.
The \Slim\Views\Twig instance’s render() method accepts a PSR-7 Response object as its first argument, the Twig template path as its second argument, and an array of template variables as its final argument.
The render() method returns a new PSR-7 Response object whose body is the rendered Twig template.
Create a directory in your project root: templates/
Create a Twig template file within the templates directory: templates/home.html.twig
