Resolve local file path from Twig template name

Question

What are the programmatic steps to turn this string:

AcmeProjectBundle::home.html.twig

into this?

/path/Symfony/src/Acme/ProjectBundle/Resources/views/home.html.twig

Answer 1

If you want to retrieve path from a controller you can use this code:

$parser = $this->container->get('templating.name_parser');
$locator = $this->container->get('templating.locator');

$path = $locator->locate($parser->parse('AcmeProjectBundle::home.html.twig'));

For more info take a look at code of:

• Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Templating\TemplateNameParser::parse
• Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Templating\Loader\TemplateLocator::locate
