Twig nl2br - PHP

Twig nl2br is a PHP library that provides a simple way to convert new lines to HTML line breaks in Twig templates. This is useful when you want to display text that contains line breaks, but you don't want the line breaks to be ignored by HTML.

Installation

You can install Twig nl2br via Composer:

composer require twig/extensions

Usage

To use Twig nl2br, you first need to load the nl2br extension in your Twig environment:

$twig = new \Twig\Environment($loader);
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\StringLoaderExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\IntlExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\EscaperExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\DebugExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\StagingExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\SandboxExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\OptimizerExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\TranslationExtension());
$twig->addExtension(new \Twig\Extension\Nl2brExtension());

Once the nl2br extension is loaded, you can use the nl2br filter in your Twig templates:

{{ text|nl2br }}

The nl2br filter takes a string as its argument and returns the same string with line breaks converted to HTML line breaks.

Example

{% set text = "Hello\nworld!" %}
{{ text|nl2br }}

This will output:

Hello<br>world!
