I have the following code in node.html.twig.

{{ dump(user) }}

I get this output.

object(Drupal\Core\Session\AccountProxy)#523 (4) {
["account":protected]=>
object(Drupal\Core\Session\UserSession)#91 (16) {
["uid":protected]=>
string(1) "1"
["roles":protected]=>
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(13) "authenticated"
  [1]=>
  string(13) "administrator"
}
["access":protected]=>
string(10) "1513942493"
["name"]=>
string(5) "admin"
["preferred_langcode":protected]=>
string(2) "en"
["preferred_admin_langcode":protected]=>
NULL
["mail":protected]=>
string(18) "[email protected]"
["timezone":protected]=>
string(13) "Europe/Berlin"
["langcode"]=>
string(2) "en"
["pass"]=>
string(55) "$S$E7IRVipuFHHectBpj8GkGZGPHlFWNQKG9ydDoRpwBDcCbzklpVaj"
["status"]=>
string(1) "1"
["created"]=>
string(10) "1513920795"

I want to render value of ["created"]=>string(10) "1513920795" and ["uid":protected]=>string(1) "1". What is the syntax or code to output them from the template?

  • All variables that can be rendered either need to be a plain value (such as a variable injected to the template via a preprocess hook) or a render array (like a field). Both are done as {{ variable }} or {{ content.variable }} respectively. The easiest way to inspect variables is to use xdebug and inspect them with a preprocess node hook in the themes .theme file, or use Twig XDebug to set a breakpoint in the twig template.

You can just get the user ID and when the account was created respectively with {{ user.id }} and {{ user.created }}. With {{ user.created | date("d F Y") }} you print the timestamp with the date format you specify.

Consider user as an object. You can access all the values the same way.

See also the Twig documentation.

  • thank you for your answer. {{ dump(date) }} also gives me an output with string(..) " " I dont understand. I just want to print the raw value of the date in the front end. how do i do it?

  • @IronButterfly That is a different question. It's not that because you are asking about two values taken from the user object, you will get an answer for every value a user object has.

  • Just use xdebug to see what your variables are, it will be less hassle.
