This repository hosts Twig Extensions that do not belong to the core but can
be nonetheless interesting to share with other developers.

This extension adds the following filters

* truncate
* wordwrap
* n12br
* sluggize

The Debug Extension
===================

The ``debug`` extension provides a ``debug`` tag that can be used to
output the content of the current context:

.. code-block:: jinja
{% debug %}
This is really useful when a template does not work as expected. You can also
output a specific variable or an expression:

.. code-block:: jinja
{% debug items %}
{% debug post.body %}
.. warning::

The ``debug`` tag only works when the ``debug`` environment option is set
to ``true``.

The i18n Extension
==================

Configuration
-------------

The ``i18n`` extension adds `gettext`_ support to Twig. It defines one tag,
``trans``.

You need to register this extension before using the ``trans`` block::

$twig->addExtension(new Twig_Extensions_Extension_I18n());

Note that you must configure the ``gettext`` extension before rendering any
internationalized template. Here is a simple configuration example from the
PHP `documentation`_::

// Set language to French
putenv('LC_ALL=fr_FR');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');

// Specify the location of the translation tables
bindtextdomain('myAppPhp', 'includes/locale');
bind_textdomain_codeset('myAppPhp', 'UTF-8');

// Choose domain
textdomain('myAppPhp');

.. caution::

The ``i18n`` extension only works if the PHP `gettext`_ extension is
enabled.

Usage
-----

Use the ``trans`` block to mark parts in the template as translatable:

.. code-block: jinja
{% trans "Hello World!" %}
{% trans string_var %}
{% trans %}
Hello World!
{% endtrans %}
In a translatable string, you can embed variables:

.. code-block: jinja
{% trans %}
Hello {{ name }}!
{% endtrans %}
.. note::

``{% trans "Hello {{ name }}!" %}`` is not a valid statement.

If you need to apply filters to the variables, you first need to assign the
result to a variable:

.. code-block: jinja
{% set name = name|capitalize %}
{% trans %}
Hello {{ name }}!
{% endtrans %}
To pluralize a translatable string, use the ``plural`` block:

.. code-block: jinja
{% trans %}
Hey {{ name }}, I have one apple.
{% plural apple_count %}
Hey {{ name }}, I have {{ count }} apples.
{% endtrans %}
The ``plural`` tag should provide the ``count`` used to select the right
string. Within the translatable string, the special ``count`` variable always
contain the count value (here the value of ``apple_count``).

Within an expression or in a tag, you can use the ``trans`` filter to translate
simple strings or variables:

.. code-block: jinja
{{ var|default(default_value|trans) }}
Complex Translations within an Expression or Tag
------------------------------------------------

Translations can be done with both the ``trans`` tag and the ``trans`` filter.
The filter is less powerful as it only works for simple variables or strings.
For more complex scenario, like pluralization, you can use a two-step
strategy:

.. code-block: jinja
{# assign the translation to a temporary variable #}
{% set default_value %}
{% trans %}
Hey {{ name }}, I have one apple.
{% plural apple_count %}
Hey {{ name }}, I have {{ count }} apples.
{% endtrans %}
{% endset %}
{# use the temporary variable within an expression #}
{{ var|default(default_value|trans) }}
Extracting Template Strings
---------------------------

If you use the Twig I18n extension, you will probably need to extract the
template strings at some point. Unfortunately, the ``xgettext`` utility does
not understand Twig templates natively. But there is a simple workaround: as
Twig converts templates to PHP files, you can use ``xgettext`` on the template
cache instead.

Create a script that forces the generation of the cache for all your
templates. Here is a simple example to get you started::

$tplDir = dirname(__FILE__).'/templates';
$tmpDir = '/tmp/cache/';
$loader = new Twig_Loader_Filesystem($tplDir);

// force auto-reload to always have the latest version of the template
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array(
'cache' => $tmpDir,
'auto_reload' => true
));
$twig->addExtension(new Twig_Extensions_Extension_I18n());
// configure Twig the way you want

// iterate over all your templates
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($tplDir), RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY) as $file)
{
// force compilation
$twig->loadTemplate(str_replace($tplDir.'/', '', $file));
}

Use the standard ``xgettext`` utility as you would have done with plain PHP
code:

.. code-block: plain
xgettext --default-domain=messages -p ./locale --from-code=UTF-8 -n --omit-header -L PHP /tmp/cache/*.php

.. _`documentation`: http://fr.php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php
