`template_from_string`

1.11

The template_from_string function was added in Twig 1.11.

1.39

The name argument was added in Twig 1.39.

The template_from_string function loads a template from a string:

        1
2
        {{ include(template_from_string("Hello {{ name }}")) }}
{{ include(template_from_string(page.template)) }}
    

To ease debugging, you can also give the template a name that will be part of any related error message:

        1
        {{ include(template_from_string(page.template, "template for page " ~ page.name)) }}
    

Note

The template_from_string function is not available by default. You must add the \Twig\Extension\StringLoaderExtension extension explicitly when creating your Twig environment:

        1
2
        $twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\StringLoaderExtension());
    

Note

Even if you will probably always use the template_from_string function with the include function, you can use it with any tag or function that takes a template as an argument (like the embed or extends tags).

Arguments

template: The template
name: A name for the template
