twig - pass function into template

Question

Currently I place my function in a class and pass an instance of this class into template and call my required function as a class method.

{{ unneededclass.blah(         


        

Answer 1

I was as lost as you were, my friend, but after searching the web for an answer and found none, I decided to see if I could do it myself. Therefore, I wanted to post my solution here (even though I know this post is old), because this is the first hit on google if you search for this problem.

Here it go, it is quite simple actually:

I made a class which contains my functions and variables, for example:

class functionContainer{
        function getRandomNumber()
        {
                return rand();
        }
}
$values = array(
'functions'=> new functionContainer()
);

So now we have $values as an array, which contains this object with a function "getRandomNumber()".

When rendering the template file, include this class as a value:

$twig->render('random.html', $values);

This way, inside the template file, you can just call this method to call the function and get your result:

{{ functions.getRandomNumber }}
