Counting the number of elements in array

Question

I am looking to count the number of entries I have in an array in Twig. This is the code I\'ve tried:

{%for nc in notcount%}
{{ nc|length }}
{%endfor%}
         


        

Answer 1

Best practice of getting length is use length filter returns the number of items of a sequence or mapping, or the length of a string. For example: {{ notcount | length }}

But you can calculate count of elements in for loop. For example:

{% set count = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount %}
    {% set count = count + 1 %}
{% endfor %}

{{ count }}

This solution helps if you want to calculate count of elements by condition, for example you have a property name inside object and you want to calculate count of objects with not empty names:

{% set countNotEmpty = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount if nc.name %}
    {% set countNotEmpty = countNotEmpty + 1 %}
{% endfor %}

{{ countNotEmpty }}
