`constant`

1.12.1

constant now accepts object instances as the second argument.

1.28

Using constant with the defined test was added in Twig 1.28.

constant returns the constant value for a given string:

        1
2
        {{ some_date|date(constant('DATE_W3C')) }}
{{ constant('Namespace\\Classname::CONSTANT_NAME') }}
    

As of 1.12.1 you can read constants from object instances as well:

        1
        {{ constant('RSS', date) }}
    

Use the defined test to check if a constant is defined:

        1
2
3
        {% if constant('SOME_CONST') is defined %}
    ...
{% endif %}
