The if
statement in Twig is comparable with the if statements of PHP.
In the simplest form you can use it to test if an expression evaluates to true
:
{% if online == false %} <p>Our website is in maintenance mode. Please, come back later.</p> {% endif %}
You can also test if an array is not empty:
{% if users %} <ul> {% for user in users %} <li>{{ user.username|e }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endif %}
Note
If you want to test if the variable is defined, use if users is
defined
instead.
You can also use not
to check for values that evaluate to false
:
{% if not user.subscribed %} <p>You are not subscribed to our mailing list.</p> {% endif %}
For multiple conditions, and
and or
can be used:
{% if temperature > 18 and temperature < 27 %} <p>It's a nice day for a walk in the park.</p> {% endif %}
For multiple branches elseif
and else
can be used like in PHP. You can use more complex expressions
there too:
{% if kenny.sick %} Kenny is sick. {% elseif kenny.dead %} You killed Kenny! You bastard!!! {% else %} Kenny looks okay --- so far {% endif %}
Note
The rules to determine if an expression is true
or false
are the same as in PHP; here are the edge cases rules:
Value | Boolean evaluation |
---|---|
empty string | false |
numeric zero | false |
whitespace-only string | true |
empty array | false |
null | false |
non-empty array | true |
object | true |
