how can we get class name of the entity object in twig view

Question

For a example, if we pass a table object to the twig view, how can we get the class name of that object like 'Table'.

class Table{  }  $table = new Table(); 

In Twig:

{{ table.className }} ---> this should display 'Table'

If you don't want to make this a method on the entity like so:

public function getClassName() {     return (new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName(); } 

then you could create a Twig function or filter. Here's a function:

class ClassTwigExtension extends \Twig_Extension {     public function getFunctions()     {         return array(             'class' => new \Twig_SimpleFunction('class', array($this, 'getClass'))         );     }      public function getName()     {         return 'class_twig_extension';     }      public function getClass($object)     {         return (new \ReflectionClass($object))->getShortName();     } } 

Use like so:

{{ class(table) }}
