Master Drupal Templates with Twig

Are you a theme developer, module developer, or front-end developer crafting markup for Drupal 8? You're going to need to master Twig.

Twig is the templating engine used by Drupal, Symfony, Sculpin, and dozens of other PHP projects to separate "business logic" from the presentation and markup of the resulting data. It features a syntax and set of features meant to empower template designers. Once you’ve mastered Twig you can make Drupal output any markup you can imagine.

In this session, you will learn what role Twig plays in Drupal sites, and how to use Twig’s small but powerful feature set.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Print any variable in a Twig template
• Add logic with if/else statements
• Add a comment block to a template file
• Use a 'for' loop and access items within a loop
