Changing template files from .html to '.html.twig' to get syntax highlighting

[4d4ch4u32]

IDEs like PHP can handle .twig files better and provide syntax highlighting for Twig. This would make the work a bit easier.

Hi Anton, thanks for your comment. This makes absolutely sense. I'll try to fix this the next days.

A have a question about your suggestion.

In Drupal they use:

• home.html.twig
• default.html.twig
• main.css.twig
• etc.

In Twig documentation itself the recommend:

• default.html
• main.html

What is the common standard for naming twig templates? Do you have any suggestions on that?

[4d4ch4u32]

Hmm I'm not sure, what the standard/default is. But I know that the standard of Symfony is home.html.twig or export.xml.twig. And, because IDEs like Phpstorm only show twig syntax highlighting for .twig files not for .html, I think that's more common. .twig maybe also better, because file extensions exists to identify the file type easier. ;-)

This behavior will be changed in the upcoming Herbie CMS 2.x and will then also be available here, see 769bb88.
