How let Twig write the HTML output to a file, instead to a browser?

Question

I have a Twig template (.html file) that I want to render (replace the tokens with values from my PHP file). Instead of sending the rendered result to a browser, however, I want to write it to a new .html file. I would imagine the solution would also be similar for a Django template.

How can I do this in PHP?

Everything you need is here link to official doc. Else, share some code you tried... – Polymerous

@YenneInfo I have read the documentation carefully. It's mainly geared into how configure the output towards the browser. Not about where I could 'catch' the HTML-output and write it to a file instead. – Smallish

Answer 1

You can get the rendered output assigned to a variable and then do with it what you please.

$bob = $this->render('MyBundle:index.html.twig',[
            'foo' => $foo,
            'token' => $token
        ]);
dump($bob->getContent());exit(0);

I never thought of that.. thanks, it seems so simple now. – Smallish

@FabienSnauwaert it is a symfony function. symfony.com/doc/current/components/var_dumper.html – Gignac

if you don't want the headers to be included in the file, use renderView instead of render – Conchita
