What is the difference between 'url' and 'path' in symfony2.3

Question

The document said

{# src/Acme/ArticleBundle/Resources/views/Article/recentList.html.twig #}
{% for article in articles %}
    

        

Answer 1

url Twig function generates absolute path path Twig function generates / related url

Example we have http://sf2sandbox.local with AcmeDemoBundle

{{ path('_welcome') }} produce /
{{ url('_welcome') }} produce http://sf2sandbox.local/
