Jasny's Twig Extensions

A number of useful filters for Twig.

Installation

Jasny's Twig Extensions are registred at packagist as jasny/twig-extensions and can be easily installed using composer. Alternatively you can simply download the .zip and copy the file from the 'src' folder.

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, $options);
$twig->addExtension(new Jasny\Twig\DateExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new Jasny\Twig\PcreExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new Jasny\Twig\TextExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new Jasny\Twig\ArrayExtension());

To use in a symfony project register the extensions as a service.

services:
  twig.extension.date:
    class: Jasny\Twig\DateExtension
    tags:
      - { name: twig.extension }

  twig.extension.pcre:
    class: Jasny\Twig\PcreExtension
    tags:
      - { name: twig.extension }
  
  twig.extension.text:
    class: Jasny\Twig\TextExtension
    tags:
      - { name: twig.extension }

  twig.extension.array:
    class: Jasny\Twig\ArrayExtension
    tags:
      - { name: twig.extension }

{{"now"|localtime('short')}}                <!-- 5:53 PM --> <!-- 17:53 -->

{{"22-08-1981"|age}}                        <!-- 31 -->
