Getting the block names of a Twig template

Published on 2020-08-08 • Modified on 2020-08-08

In this snippet, we will see how to get the block names of a Twig template. To do so, we must use the Twig\Environment service which is available in the service container. Sorry, I didn't find a doc on the subject but the GitHub PR when this function was modified.

    public function snippet108(): void
    {
        $blockNames = $this->twigEnvironment->load('layout.html.twig')->getBlockNames();
        var_dump($blockNames);

        // That's it! 😁
    }
}
