TwigEngine
use Preflow\Twig\TwigEngine; use Preflow\View\AssetCollector; use Preflow\View\NonceGenerator; $assets = new AssetCollector(new NonceGenerator(), isProd: true); $engine = new TwigEngine( templateDirs: [__DIR__ . '/templates', __DIR__ . '/app/pages'], assetCollector: $assets, debug: false, cachePath: __DIR__ . '/storage/twig-cache', // null = no cache ); $html = $engine->render('blog/post.twig', ['post' => $post]); $engine->exists('partials/nav.twig'); // bool $engine->getTemplateExtension(); // 'twig'
Co-located styles and scripts
Use {% apply css %} and {% apply js %} anywhere in a template. The content is registered with the AssetCollector and nothing is output at that point.
{# templates/blog/post.twig #} {% apply css %} .post-title { font-size: 2rem; font-weight: 700; } .post-body { line-height: 1.7; } {% endapply %} {% apply js %} document.querySelector('.post-body a[href^="http"]') ?.setAttribute('target', '_blank'); {% endapply %} {% apply js('head') %} window.analyticsId = {{ post.id }}; {% endapply %} <h1 class="post-title">{{ post.title }}</h1> <div class="post-body">{{ post.body|raw }}</div>
JS position argument: 'body' (default), 'head', or 'inline'.
Layout with head() and assets()
{{ head() }} renders JS registered for the <head>. {{ assets() }} renders all collected CSS plus body JS — place it just before </body>.
{# templates/_layout.twig #} <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>{% block title %}App{% endblock %}</title> {{ head() }} </head> <body> {% block content %}{% endblock %} {{ assets() }} </body> </html>
Engine configuration
Set APP_ENGINE=twig in your .env (this is the default). Preflow's Application will automatically create a TwigEngine and register all extension providers.
