symfony2 generate static html with twig

Question

Is there a way to put the html code from a twig template into a html file. I mean, in this case

$html = $this->render('SiteBundle:Generated:home_news.html.twig', array('news' => $news))->getContent();

Is there a way where I can do this?

$html->output($html_file);

And it gerenates a html file with the template.

I'm doing this because I have news from a wordpress blog and I want to show the latest news in the homepage. So I would want to put the news of my site in a static file to avoid to generate it with each home request.

If you check documentation more carefully, you'd find this chapter, which says:

$content = $this->renderView('AcmeHelloBundle:Hello:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name));

Thanks for the response but sorry, I guess you haven't understand me. I dont want to show the output of the twig template. I'd want to keep this content into a html file, which I'll use in other places.

So file_put_contents() your $content - no? :)

yes, but I am asking about a way to do it with twig or with S2

There's no way to render directly to a file. Getting the render output as a string and using file_put_contents() on it is perfectly fine.

To complete the @VitalityZurian answer:

First, generate your markup :

$content = $this->renderView('AcmeHelloBundle:Hello:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name));

Then, write in file :

$file = file_put_contents($filename, $content);

You can use Symfony2 help methods to deal with locations in your bundles:

$bundleResourcesDir = $this->get('kernel')->locateResource('@AcmeAnotherBundle/Resources/views');
file_put_contents($bundleResourcesDir.'/index.html.twig`

And retrieve it:

$view = $this->get('kernel')->locateResource('@AcmeAnotherBundle/Resources/views/index.html.twig');
