I've created a teaser template like this node--type--teaser.html.twig. Within that template I want to conditionally create a link to a file that was uploaded via the field field_pdf.

How do you extract JUST the path to the pdf in the template.

I've tried {{ file_url(node.field_pdf.entity.url.value) }} but that just brings back an empty path.

If thats not possible, is there a way to get a file path from the fid in twig?

    I think the field name is uri, not url.

    Yo, thinking the same. See drupal.org/docs/8/theming/twig/… there it's {{ file_url(node.field_example_image.entity.uri.value) }}.

  • Per the answer below, make sure the field type is set as File.

  1. Manage teaser Display : Change Format of your file field to Generic File From admin/structure/types/manage/YouRContentType/display/teaser .
  2. In your twig node--type--teaser.html.twig just print {{ file_url(node.field_pdf.entity.uri.value) }} you will get the path to your file.
    Note : As mentioned in comment it's uri Not url.

  • Thanks for the response. What is this generic file setting? All i see is Rendered Entity, Entity ID, Label and Thumbnail as output options.

  • Ah, thats probably what the issue is. I set the file type as Media. Updating this now.

  • Thanks all for the help. The issue was as stated where I'd selected the Media field type instead of the File field type. With the File field type, the Generic File format is available in the teaser view mode.

In my case I had a paragraph type with a file field. I wanted to get a url of file-field inside paragraph's template. Not sure why but above solution of @berramou did not work for me.

So what I did is, in manage display I changed the file field's format to "URL to file". Then I rendered the file field, stripped its tags, trimmed and passed it to file_url like follows:

{% set url = file_url(content.field_pdf_file|render|striptags|trim) %}

In a field template file (for example, /themes/custom/y_subtheme/templates/field/field--node--field-brochure--course.html.twig), it will be {{ file_url(item.content['#file'].getFileUri()) }}.
