`plural`

3.11

The plural filter was added in Twig 3.11.

The plural filter transforms a given noun in its singular form into its plural version:

        1
2
3
4
5
6
        {# English (en) rules are used by default #}
{{ 'animal'|plural() }}
animals

{{ 'animal'|plural('fr') }}
animaux
    

Note

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

        1
        $ composer require twig/string-extra
    

Then, on Symfony projects, install the twig/extra-bundle:

        1
        $ composer require twig/extra-bundle
    

Otherwise, add the extension explicitly on the Twig environment:

        1
2
3
4
        use Twig\Extra\String\StringExtension;

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

Arguments

locale: The locale of the original string (limited to languages supported by the from Symfony inflector, part of the String component)
all: Whether to return all possible plurals as an array, default is false

Note

Internally, Twig uses the pluralize method from the Symfony String component.
