How do I call an entity method in a TYPO3 fluid template?

Question

I have a template with a line like this:

<f:format.htmlentitiesDecode>
    {product.features}
</f:format.htmlentitiesDecode>

where "features" is an attribute of the "product" data model.

I would like to print the result if a method call on product instead. Something like:

<f:format.htmlentitiesDecode>
    {product.getStrippedFeatures}
</f:format.htmlentitiesDecode>

but that gives me empty content.

How can I call a method in the product model and print its output?

Answer 1

Just add the function in your product model like:

public function getStrippedFeatures()
{
    return your_stripping_method($this->features);
}

Fluid calls attributes with a prefixed get, so you only need this in the template:

{product.strippedFeatures}
