I'm trying to decode a JSON string in my twig file. Of course I've done some research and I've found this earlier question on StackOverflow: here. They give a method to decode JSON in twig, but I don't really understand the way I should do it.
They say something about creating files etc. but I don't understand where they should be created. So I'm trying to find another way.
I've come up with this page. When we take a look at 'filters', these lines come up:
$filter = new Twig_Filter('rot13', function ($string) {
return str_rot13($string);
});
So I thought I could use them like this:
$filter = new Twig_Filter('json_decode', function ($string) {
return json_decode($string);
});
Now, I'd like to know whether this way should work. Also, where I'd have to put these lines of code. And finally, would I have to use the filter like this:
{{ data.params|json_decode }}
When I'm wrong, please give me the points that I mis, or, give me an easy solution that should do the job for me.
Edit I'm using twig in the Silex framework!
