Answer 1

It's all here: How to write a custom Twig Extension.

1. Create the Extension:

// src/Facebook/Bundle/Twig/FacebookExtension.php
namespace Facebook\Bundle\Twig;

use Twig_Extension;
use Twig_Filter_Method;

class FacebookExtension extends Twig_Extension
{
    public function getFilters()
    {
        return array(
            'myfilter' => new Twig_Filter_Method($this, 'myFilter'),
        );
    }

    public function myFilter($arg1, $arg2='')
    {
        return sprintf('something %s %s', $arg1, $arg2);
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'facebook_extension';
    }
}

2. Register an Extension as a Service

# src/Facebook/Bundle/Resources/config/services.yml
services:
    facebook.twig.facebook_extension:
        class: Facebook\Bundle\Twig\AcmeExtension
        tags:
            - { name: twig.extension }

3. Use it

{{ 'blah'|myfilter('somearg') }}

You can also create twig functions by using the getFunctions()

class FacebookExtension extends Twig_Extension
{
    public function getFunctions()
    {
        return array(
            'myFunction' => new Twig_Filter_Method($this, 'myFunction'),
        );
    }

    public function myFunction($arg1)
    {
        return $arg1;
    }

Use your function like this:

{{ myFunction('my_param') }}
