how to add twig-view in slimframework v4

Question

I\'m trying to add twig-view in slim v4

In slim v3, we add twig-view in container

$container[\'view\'] = fun

SlimTwigView is at 3.0.0 beta (at least as of October 12, 2019), and some things have changed. The few online tutorials I've seen, as well as the official documentation no longer work.

TwigMiddleware no longer takes an instance of the $container as an argument, so you must first put Twig on the Container manually such as:

$container->set('view', function() {
    // Of course put correct path to your views here
    return new Twig('../views', ['cache' => false]);
});

You then you can add TwigMiddleware to your Slim App using the class' new createFromContainer method, like so:

$app->add(TwigMiddleware::createFromContainer($app));
// which is equivalent to:
// $app->add(TwigMiddleware::createFromContainer($app, 'view'));

At that point, you can render a Twig view like so:

$app->get('/', function (Request $request, Response $response, $args) {
    return $this->get('view')->render($response, 'home.twig');
});

When using the Slim specific middleware, you now have access to the additional Twig extensions:

url_for
full_url_for
is_current_url
current_url
get_uri
