`attribute`

1.2

The attribute function was added in Twig 1.2.

The attribute function can be used to access a "dynamic" attribute of a variable:

        1
2
3
        {{ attribute(object, method) }}
{{ attribute(object, method, arguments) }}
{{ attribute(array, item) }}
    

In addition, the defined test can check for the existence of a dynamic attribute:

        1
        {{ attribute(object, method) is defined ? 'Method exists' : 'Method does not exist' }}
    

Note

The resolution algorithm is the same as the one used for the . notation, except that the item can be any valid expression.
