How to use global variable in symfony twig file?

Question

I have done setting in app/config/config.yml

twig:

globals:

  mandatory_note: %mandatory_note%

parameter also set in config.yml file

parameters:

mandatory_note: "Note: * marked fields are mandatory"

And in twig file I have accessed the variable

but still gets error. ie. mandatory_note variable doesnot exists.

This is my config.yml file

    - { resource: parameters.yml }
    - { resource: security.yml }
    - { resource: services.yml }

    #esi:             ~

    session:

You need to put it under Twig. Like that:

twig:
    globals:
        mandatory_note: %mandatory_note%

Also make sure that mandatory_note is defined in parameters.yml file. To test if global works just use "testString" instead of %mandatory_note%

What if you put them together, like this?

twig:
    debug:            "%kernel.debug%"
    strict_variables: "%kernel.debug%"
    globals:
        mandatory_note: "%mandatory_note%"

still it gets error "You have requested a non-existent parameter "mandatory_note" . :(

vdwijngaert Over a year ago

Your parameter doesn't exist. Sure it is defined?

Chiku Over a year ago

Yes. In attached config file , there is parameter section I defined parameter "mandatory_note"

vdwijngaert Over a year ago

Move the parameters above the twig declaration.

I got solution, I added below code in parameters.yml file:

parameters:
    mandatory_note: "Note: * marked fields are mandatory"

twig:
    globals:
        mandatory_note: "%mandatory_note%"

and it's working finally.
