`currency_name`¶

New in version 2.12: The currency_name filter was added in Twig 2.12.

The currency_name filter returns the currency name given its three-letter code:

{# Euro #}
{{ 'EUR'|currency_name }}

{# Japanese Yen #}
{{ 'JPY'|currency_name }}

By default, the filter uses the current locale. You can pass it explicitly:

{# yen japonais #}
{{ 'JPY'|currency_name('fr_FR') }}

Note

The currency_name filter is part of the IntlExtension which is not installed by default. Install it first:

1	$ composer req twig/intl-extra

Then, use the twig/extra-bundle on Symfony projects or add the extension explictly on the Twig environment:

use Twig\Extra\Intl\IntlExtension;

$twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
$twig->addExtension(new IntlExtension());
