Including a non-twig file from twig

Question

I need to include the contents of a file (inside my resources folder) inside a Twig template.

I have tried this with no luck:

{% include \'public/directo

You can solve this problem with twig extension functions. ( http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/templating/twig_extension.html )

Create a php file in your Bundle for the Twig extension

Add this code to the app/config/services.yml

app.twig_extension:
    class: AppBundle\Twig\AppExtension
    public: false
    tags:
        - { name: twig.extension }

Now you can use your custom function as any default function in your twig template

{{ fileGetContents( asset("uploads/my_text_file.txt") ) }}
