twig-include-dir

Include all twig templates within a directory

Features

• Provide a directory with multiple .twig templates and all templates will be included
• Add recursive keyword to include all templates within a directory recursive
• known variable handling as known from include using the keywords only and with

Requirements

• Requires Twig >= 2.7
• Requires PHP >= 7.2

Installation

The recommended way to install twig-include-dir is through Composer:

$ composer require wol-soft/twig-include-dir

Why?

An example use case could be: you set up a site using bootstrap with many modals. Now you don't need to throw all your modals together in a file or include each modal manually but instead you can separate your modals by using one file for each modal. Throw all modals in a modal-directory and simply include the whole directory. Adding a new modal? No problem, just create a new template file in your modal-directory.

Getting started

To use twig-include-dir you need to add the include-dir token parser to your Twig Environment first:

<?php

/* ... */

$loader = new FilesystemLoader(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
$twig = new Environment($loader);
$twig->addTokenParser(new \TwigIncludeDir\IncludeDirTokenParser());

/* ... */

Afterwards you can start using the added token includeDir in your templates:

<div class="modal-container">
    {% includeDir '/modals' %}
</div>

The files in the directory will be included alphabetically.

Recursive usage

To include all files within a given directory recursive simply add the keyword recursive to your include statement:

<div class="modal-container">
    {% includeDir '/modals' recursive %}
</div>

Now also the modals from the directories /modals/user and /modals/system etc. will be included.

Caution: The templates will be included alphabetically as well, including the directories. Thus the template /modals/footer.twig will be included before the templates from the directory /modals/system followed by /modals/user followed by a possible /modals/zebraHeader.twig. It is recommended to use twig-include-dir only for templates which do not require a specific order.

Variables

As known from the Twig Core include you can control the available variables with the keywords with and only (compare: include)

<div class="modal-container">
    {# only the foo variable will be accessible #}
    {% includeDir '/modals' recursive with {'foo': 'bar'} only %}
</div>
