Anyone knows how to concatenate strings in twig? I want to do something like:
{{ concat('http://', app.request.host) }}
Anyone knows how to concatenate strings in twig? I want to do something like:
{{ concat('http://', app.request.host) }}
This should work fine:
{{ 'http://' ~ app.request.host }}
To add a filter - like 'trans' - in the same tag use
{{ ('http://' ~ app.request.host) | trans }}
As Adam Elsodaney points out, you can also use string interpolation, this does require double quoted strings:
{{ "http://#{app.request.host}" }}
Also a little known feature in Twig is string interpolation:
{{ "http://#{app.request.host}" }}
In this case, where you want to output plain text and a variable, you could do it like this:
http://{{ app.request.host }}
If you want to concatenate some variables, alessandro1997's solution would be much better.
The operator you are looking for is Tilde (~), like Alessandro said, and here it is in the documentation:
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#other-operators
And here is an example somewhere else in the docs:
{% set greeting = 'Hello' %} {% set name = 'Fabien' %} {{ greeting ~ name|lower }} {# Hello fabien #} {# use parenthesis to change precedence #} {{ (greeting ~ name)|lower }} {# hello fabien #}
{{ ['foo', 'bar'|capitalize]|join }}
As you can see this works with filters and functions without needing to use set
on a seperate line.
Whenever you need to use a filter with a concatenated string (or a basic math operation) you should wrap it with ()'s. Eg.:
{{ ('http://' ~ app.request.host) | url_encode }}
In Symfony you can use this for protocol and host:
{{ app.request.schemeAndHttpHost }}
Though @alessandro1997 gave a perfect answer about concatenation.
You can use ~
like {{ foo ~ 'inline string' ~ bar.fieldName }}
But you can also create your own concat
function to use it like in your question:{{ concat('http://', app.request.host) }}
:
In src/AppBundle/Twig/AppExtension.php
['html']]), ]; } public function concat() { return implode('', func_get_args()) } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function getName() { return 'app_extension'; } }
In app/config/services.yml
:
services: app.twig_extension: class: AppBundle\Twig\AppExtension public: false tags: - { name: twig.extension }
To mix strings, variables and translations I simply do the following:
{% set add_link = ' ' %}
Despite everything being mixed up, it works like a charm.

filter works like the sprintf
function in other programming languagesformat
filter may be less cumbersome than the ~ operator for more complex stringsexample00 string concat bare
{{ "%s%s%s!"|format('alpha','bravo','charlie') }} --- result -- alphabravocharlie!
example01 string concat with intervening text
{{ "The %s in %s falls mainly on the %s!"|format('alpha','bravo','charlie') }} --- result -- The alpha in bravo falls mainly on the charlie!
follows the same syntax as sprintf
in other languages
{{ "The %04d in %04d falls mainly on the %s!"|format(2,3,'tree') }} --- result -- The 0002 in 0003 falls mainly on the tree!
The "{{ ... }}"-delimiter can also be used within strings:
"http://{{ app.request.host }}"
