Coding Standards¶

When writing Twig templates, we recommend you to follow these official coding standards:

• Put one (and only one) space after the start of a delimiter ({{, {%, and {#) and before the end of a delimiter (}}, %}, and #}):

  1 2 3

  {{ foo }} {# comment #} {% if foo %}{% endif %}

  When using the whitespace control character, do not put any spaces between it and the delimiter:

  1 2 3

  {{- foo -}} {#- comment -#} {%- if foo -%}{%- endif -%}

• Put one (and only one) space before and after the following operators: comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, >=, <=), math operators (+, -, /, *, %, //, **), logic operators (not, and, or), ~, is, in, and the ternary operator (?:):

  {{ 1 + 2 }}
  {{ foo ~ bar }}
  {{ true ? true : false }}

• Put one (and only one) space after the : sign in hashes and , in arrays and hashes:

  1 2	{{ [1, 2, 3] }} {{ {'foo': 'bar'} }}

• Do not put any spaces after an opening parenthesis and before a closing parenthesis in expressions:

  1	{{ 1 + (2 * 3) }}

• Do not put any spaces before and after string delimiters:

  1 2	{{ 'foo' }} {{ "foo" }}

• Do not put any spaces before and after the following operators: |, ., .., []:

  1 2 3 4

  {{ foo|upper|lower }} {{ user.name }} {{ user[name] }} {% for i in 1..12 %}{% endfor %}

• Do not put any spaces before and after the parenthesis used for filter and function calls:

  1 2	{{ foo|default('foo') }} {{ range(1..10) }}

• Do not put any spaces before and after the opening and the closing of arrays and hashes:

  1 2	{{ [1, 2, 3] }} {{ {'foo': 'bar'} }}

• Use lower cased and underscored variable names:

  1 2	{% set foo = 'foo' %} {% set foo_bar = 'foo' %}

• Indent your code inside tags (use the same indentation as the one used for the main language of the file):

  1 2 3 4 5

  {% block foo %} {% if true %} true {% endif %} {% endblock %}
