Slim Framework and Twig templating engine

Question

Hello so I have a simple code here that will render home.html using slim framework and twig. Here's the codes:

In my index.php file:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Slim\Slim([
        'debug' => true,
        'templates.path' => 'app/views'
    ]);

$app->view = new \Slim\Views\Twig();
$app->view->setTemplatesDirectory("app/views");

$view = $app->view();
$view->parserOptions = ['debug' => true];
$view->parserExtensions = [new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension()];

$app->get('/home', function () use ($app) {
    $app->render('home.html');
});

$app->run();

Here is the base.html template:

And my home.html:

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
 Some content here
{% endblock %}

My question is, since the only rendered part is the home.html , what if I want some data loaded in my base template? Like this..

So that I won't have to repeat it on every page I render. Is that possible on a base template? Thank you in advance.

Also, this is what I followed to install twig in slim.

I think the best answer is given here . There the answerer say "write a Twig custom function " to load dynamically data in your views.

So you would be able to write your own PHP, can inject your DB and use this along with that templating engine.
