Coding Standards

When writing Twig templates, we recommend you to follow these official coding standards:

• Put one (and only one) space after the start of a delimiter ({{, {%, and {#) and before the end of a delimiter (}}, %}, and #}):

  {{ foo }}
  {# comment #}
  {% if foo %}{% endif %}
  

  When using the whitespace control character, do not put any spaces between it and the delimiter:

  {{- foo -}}
  {#- comment -#}
  {%- if foo -%}{%- endif -%}
  

• Put one (and only one) space before and after the following operators: comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, >=, <=), math operators (+, -, /, *, %, //, **), logic operators (not, and, or), ~, is, in, and the ternary operator (?:):

  {{ 1 + 2 }}
  {{ foo ~ bar }}
  {{ true ? true : false }}
  

• Put one (and only one) space after the : sign in hashes and , in arrays and hashes:

  {{ [1, 2, 3] }}
  {{ {'foo': 'bar'} }}
  

• Do not put any spaces after an opening parenthesis and before a closing parenthesis in expressions:

  {{ 1 + (2 * 3) }}
  

• Do not put any spaces before and after string delimiters:

  {{ 'foo' }}
  {{ "foo" }}
  

• Do not put any spaces before and after the following operators: |, ., .., []:

  {{ foo|upper|lower }}
  {{ user.name }}
  {{ user[name] }}
  {% for i in 1..12 %}{% endfor %}
  

• Do not put any spaces before and after the parenthesis used for filter and function calls:

  {{ foo|default('foo') }}
  {{ range(1..10) }}
  

• Do not put any spaces before and after the opening and the closing of arrays and hashes:

  {{ [1, 2, 3] }}
  {{ {'foo': 'bar'} }}
  

• Use lower cased and underscored variable names:

  {% set foo = 'foo' %}
  {% set foo_bar = 'foo' %}
  

• Indent your code inside tags (use the same indentation as the one used for the target language of the rendered template):

  {% block foo %}
     {% if true %}
         true
     {% endif %}
  {% endblock %}
