How to get the human readable content type name in a node template

Question

I have created node template for my node, and its working fine.

I need to print content type name, which is like "Whitepaper" and has machine name "w1" in my node template. If I use variable {{ node.bundle }}, its printing the machine name. But I need the human readable name.

I tried many elements of node, content and page variables but I'm not able to print the human readable content type name.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

You should be able to get the human-readable name of the content type (or the "label") by using the following snippet in your node Twig template.

{{ node.type.entity.label }} 

Answer 2

You can add the human readable name of the content type in a preprocess hook:

mytheme.theme

use Drupal\node\Entity\NodeType;

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_node().
 */
function mytheme_preprocess_node(array &$variables) {
  $node = $variables['node'];
  $variables['content_type'] = NodeType::load($node->bundle())->label();
}

and use it in the node template:

{{ content_type }}
