This plugin for version 3 the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Twig Templating Language for your views.

In addition to enabling the use of most of Twig's features, the plugin is tightly integrated with the CakePHP view renderer giving you full access to helpers, objects and elements.

To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ~.

composer require wyrihaximus/twig-view 

Add the following to your config/bootstrap.php to load the plugin.

Plugin::load('WyriHaximus/TwigView', [
    'bootstrap' => true,
]);

class AppController extends Controller {
    public $viewClass = '\WyriHaximus\TwigView\View\TwigView';
}

{% element 'Plugin.Element' {
    dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
    optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}

Any helper you defined in your controller.

public $helpers = ['Form'];

Can be access by their CamelCase name, for example creating a form using the FormHelper:

{{ Form.create()|raw }}

{% cell cellObject = 'Plugin.Cell' {
    dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
    optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}

{{ cellObject|raw }}

{% cell 'Plugin.Cell' {
    dataName: 'dataValue'
} {
    optionName: 'optionValue'
} %}

This plugin emits several events.

The default loader can be replace by listening to the WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\LoaderEvent::EVENT, for example with twital:

<?php

use Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface;
use Goetas\Twital\TwitalLoader;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\LoaderEvent;

class LoaderListener implements EventListenerInterface
{
    public function implementedEvents()
    {
        return [
            LoaderEvent::EVENT => 'loader',
            ConstructEvent::EVENT => 'construct',
        ];
    }

    public function loader(LoaderEvent $event)
    {
        $event->result = new TwitalLoader($event->getLoader());
    }

    /**
     * We've also listening in on this event so we can add the needed extensions to check for to the view
     */
    public function construct(ConstructEvent $event)
    {
        $event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.html');
        $event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.xml');
        $event->getTwigView()->unshiftExtension('.twital.xhtml');
    }
}

Extensions can be added to the twig environment by listening to the WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent::EVENT, for example:

<?php

use Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface;
use WyriHaximus\TwigView\Event\ConstructEvent;

class LoaderListener implements EventListenerInterface
{
    public function implementedEvents()
    {
        return [
            ConstructEvent::EVENT => 'construct',
        ];
    }

    public function construct(ConstructEvent $event)
    {
        $event->getTwig()->addExtension(new YourTwigExtension);
    }
}
