在Twig / Symfony 2中使用“默认”过滤器和布尔宏参数的错误？

Question

I'm using default Twig filter to specify arguments defaults in my macro :

{% macro base(type, title, content, separator, dismissable) %}
{% spaceless %}

    {% debug dismissable %}

    {% set separator   = separator|default('!') %}
    {% set dismissable = dismissable|default(true) %}

    {% debug dismissable %}

    {# Beginning outputting... #}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endmacro %}

The problem is that dismissable argument type should be boolean . However when passing false the filter evaluates it and assign a true default value. An example output :

{{ base('success', 'Title', 'Hello', '!', false) }}

boolean false
boolean true

Is this a bug? Here is (part of) filter description:

The default filter returns the passed default value if the value is undefined or empty, otherwise the value of the variable.

Evaluation of boolean false is not even mentioned. My temporary workaround is:

{% set dismissable = dismissable is not defined or dismissable is null ?
    true : dismissable %}

Answer 1

It is not a bug. The docs you quoted mentions it, though it's far from being obvious:

if the value is undefined or empty

Emphasis by me. False is an empty value.

Twig_Node_Expression_Default creates a Twig_Node_Expression_Conditional in the code. In the end the default filter boiles down to the following php code:

$passed_value ? $passed_value : $default_value

In your case the passed value is false, so the expression returns the default value.

You should keep using your workaround.

Answer 2

替换有问题的表达式my_boolean|default(true) （ my_boolean|default(false)按预期工作），可以not my_boolean is defined or my_boolean 。

Answer 3

我遇到了同样的“问题”，我确实喜欢这样：

{% set dismissable = dismissable is not same as(false) %}

Answer 4

You can use the null-coalescing operator ?? like this:

{% set dismissable = dismissable ?? true %}

That should solve your problem and it's a nice and clean solution. :-)

EDIT: It also solves the default(false) problem.

Answer 5

This is the expected behaviour as @Maerlyn already mentioned.
But you can take advantage of the fallback filter and simplify a bit your code.
This will work:
{% set dismissable = dismissable|fallback(true) %}
