I want to join two variables in twig in the user.html.twig

{{ content.field_firstname }} {{ content.field_lastname }}

How can i output them on the same line and add a space between them using twig ?

Everytime i try, they show on two different lines ? and i don't want to use css just for this.

Is there any better way to do this ? Many thanks

    Fields are wrapped in divs, divs have a block display by default. Using CSS is the easier solution, the alternative is overwriting templates for individual fields to remove the wrappers – Clive♦ Sep 7 '16 at 16:34

{% set full_name = [content.field_firstname ~ ' ' ~ content.field_lastname] %}

Note: We use ~ in twig to concatenate two or more strings instead of "+"

  • Thank you for your answer, but the result that i get when i output {{ full_name }} is not the first name and last name but Array Array – usethe23 Sep 8 '16 at 8:05

You might have to dig a little deeper depending on the field type. If you {{ kint(content) }} in the template, you should be able to dig down to the actual value.

You might be looking for one of the following:

{% set full_name = content.field_firstname.value ~ ' ' ~ content.field_lastname.value %}

{% set full_name = content.field_firstname.0['#markup'] ~ ' ' ~ content.field_lastname.0['#markup'] %}

Or something similar.

Without seeing your code/kint output, it's hard to say. But that should get you going in the right direction.
