`attribute`

Warning

The attribute filter is deprecated as of Twig 3.15. Use the dot operator that now accepts any expression when wrapped with parenthesis.

Note that this filter will still be available in Twig 4.0 to allow a smoother upgrade path.

The attribute function can be used to access a "dynamic" attribute of a variable:

        1
2
3
        {{ attribute(object, method) }}
{{ attribute(object, method, arguments) }}
{{ attribute(array, item) }}
    

In addition, the defined test can check for the existence of a dynamic attribute:

        1
        {{ attribute(object, method) is defined ? 'Method exists' : 'Method does not exist' }}
    

Note

The resolution algorithm is the same as the one used for the . operator, except that the item can be any valid expression.
