How to Use and Register Namespaced Twig Paths

2.2 新版功能: Namespaced path support was introduced in 2.2.

Usually, when you refer to a template, you’ll use the MyBundle:Subdir:filename.html.twig format (see Template Naming and Locations).

Twig also natively offers a feature called “namespaced paths”, and support is built-in automatically for all of your bundles.

Take the following paths as an example:

{% extends "AppBundle::layout.html.twig" %}
{% include "AppBundle:Foo:bar.html.twig" %}

With namespaced paths, the following works as well:

{% extends "@App/layout.html.twig" %}
{% include "@App/Foo/bar.html.twig" %}

Both paths are valid and functional by default in Symfony.

小技巧

As an added bonus, the namespaced syntax is faster.

Registering your own Namespaces

You can also register your own custom namespaces. Suppose that you’re using some third-party library that includes Twig templates that live in vendor/acme/foo-bar/templates. First, register a namespace for this directory:

  • YAML
    # app/config/config.yml
    twig:
        # ...
        paths:
            "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/foo-bar/templates": foo_bar
    
  • XML
    <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:twig="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig"
    >
    
        <twig:config debug="%kernel.debug%" strict-variables="%kernel.debug%">
            <twig:path namespace="foo_bar">%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/foo-bar/templates</twig:path>
        </twig:config>
    </container>
    
  • PHP
    // app/config/config.php
    $container->loadFromExtension('twig', array(
        'paths' => array(
            '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/foo-bar/templates' => 'foo_bar',
        );
    ));
    

The registered namespace is called foo_bar, which refers to the vendor/acme/foo-bar/templates directory. Assuming there’s a file called sidebar.twig in that directory, you can use it easily:

{% include '@foo_bar/sidebar.twig' %}

Multiple Paths per Namespace

You can also assign several paths to the same template namespace. The order in which paths are configured is very important, because Twig will always load the first template that exists, starting from the first configured path. This feature can be used as a fallback mechanism to load generic templates when the specific template doesn’t exist.

  • YAML
    # app/config/config.yml
    twig:
        # ...
        paths:
            "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme1": theme
            "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme2": theme
            "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/common": theme
    
  • XML
    <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
               xmlns:twig="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig"
    >
    
        <twig:config debug="%kernel.debug%" strict-variables="%kernel.debug%">
            <twig:path namespace="theme">%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme1</twig:path>
            <twig:path namespace="theme">%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme2</twig:path>
            <twig:path namespace="theme">%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/common</twig:path>
        </twig:config>
    </container>
    
  • PHP
    // app/config/config.php
    $container->loadFromExtension('twig', array(
        'paths' => array(
            '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme1' => 'theme',
            '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/theme2' => 'theme',
            '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/acme/themes/common' => 'theme',
        ),
    ));
    

Now, you can use the same @theme namespace to refer to any template located in the previous three directories:

{% include '@theme/header.twig' %}
