How to concatenate strings in twig

Question

Anyone knows how to concatenate strings in twig? I want to do something like:

{{ concat('http://', app.request.host) }}

Answer 1

This should work fine:

{{ 'http://' ~ app.request.host }}

To add a filter - like 'trans' - in the same tag use

{{ ('http://' ~ app.request.host) | trans }}

As Adam Elsodaney points out , you can also use string interpolation , this does require double quoted strings:

{{ "http://#{app.request.host}" }}

Answer 2

Twig 中还有一个鲜为人知的特性是字符串插值：

{{ "http://#{app.request.host}" }}

Answer 3

The operator you are looking for is Tilde (~), like Alessandro said, and here it is in the documentation:

~: Converts all operands into strings and concatenates them. {{ "Hello " ~ name ~ "!" }} would return (assuming name is 'John') Hello John!. – http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html#other-operators

And here is an example somewhere else in the docs :

{% set greeting = 'Hello' %}
{% set name = 'Fabien' %}

{{ greeting ~ name|lower }}   {# Hello fabien #}

{# use parenthesis to change precedence #}
{{ (greeting ~ name)|lower }} {# hello fabien #}

Answer 4

In this case, where you want to output plain text and a variable, you could do it like this:

http://{{ app.request.host }}

If you want to concatenate some variables, alessandro1997's solution would be much better.

Answer 5

{{ ['foo', 'bar'|capitalize]|join }}

正如您所看到的，这适用于过滤器和函数，而无需在单独的行上使用set 。

Answer 6

Whenever you need to use a filter with a concatenated string (or a basic math operation) you should wrap it with ()'s. Eg.:

{{ ('http://' ~ app.request.host) | url_encode }}

Answer 7

In Symfony you can use this for protocol and host:

{{ app.request.schemeAndHttpHost }}

Though @alessandro1997 gave a perfect answer about concatenation.

Answer 8

You can use ~ like {{ foo ~ 'inline string' ~ bar.fieldName }}

But you can also create your own concat function to use it like in your question:
{{ concat('http://', app.request.host) }} :

In src/AppBundle/Twig/AppExtension.php

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Twig;

class AppExtension extends \Twig_Extension
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getFunctions()
    {
        return [
            new \Twig_SimpleFunction('concat', [$this, 'concat'], ['is_safe' => ['html']]),
        ];
    }

    public function concat()
    {
        return implode('', func_get_args())
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'app_extension';
    }
}

In app/config/services.yml :

services:
    app.twig_extension:
        class: AppBundle\Twig\AppExtension
        public: false
        tags:
            - { name: twig.extension }

Quick Answer (TL;DR)

• Twig string concatenation may also be done with the format() filter

Detailed Answer

Context

• Twig 2.x
• String building and concatenation

Problem

• Scenario: DeveloperGailSim wishes to do string concatenation in Twig
  • Other answers in this thread already address the concat operator
  • This answer focuses on the format filter which is more expressive

Solution

• Alternative approach is to use the format filter
• The format filter works like the sprintf function in other programming languages
• The format filter may be less cumbersome than the ~ operator for more complex strings

Example00

• example00 string concat bare

  \n\n{{ "%s%s%s!"|format('alpha','bravo','charlie') }} \n\n--- result --\n\nalphabravocharlie!\n\n

Example01

• example01 string concat with intervening text

  \n\n{{ "The %s in %s falls mainly on the %s!"|format('alpha','bravo','charlie') }} \n\n--- result --\n\nThe alpha in bravo falls mainly on the charlie! \n\n

Example02

• example02 string concat with numeric formatting

• follows the same syntax as sprintf in other languages

  \n\n{{ "The %04d in %04d falls mainly on the %s!"|format(2,3,'tree') }} \n\n--- result --\n\nThe 0002 in 0003 falls mainly on the tree! \n\n

Answer 10

To mix strings, variables and translations I simply do the following:

    {% set add_link = '
    <a class="btn btn-xs btn-icon-only" 
       title="' ~ 'string.to_be_translated'|trans ~ '" 
       href="' ~ path('acme_myBundle_link',{'link':link.id})  ~ '">
    </a>
    ' %}

Despite everything being mixed up, it works like a charm.

Answer 11

"{{ ... }}" 分隔符也可以在字符串中使用：

"http://{{ app.request.host }}"
