singular

3.11

The singular filter was added in Twig 3.11.

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

1
2
3
4
5
6
{# English (en) rules are used by default #}
{{ 'partitions'|singular() }}
partition

{{ 'partitions'|singular('fr') }}
partition

Note

The singular 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 singularize method from the Symfony String component.
