How to Embed Asynchronous Content with HInclude
Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 3.x, which is no longer maintained.
Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.2 (the current stable version).
Controllers can be embedded asynchronously using the HInclude JavaScript library.
As the embedded content comes from another page (or controller for that matter),
Symfony uses a version of the standard render()
function to configure hinclude
tags:
1 2
{{ render_hinclude(controller('...')) }}
{{ render_hinclude(url('...')) }}
Note
HInclude needs to be included in your page to work.
Note
When using a controller instead of a URL, you must enable the Symfony
fragments
configuration:
1 2 3 4
# app/config/config.yml
framework:
# ...
fragments: { path: /_fragment }
Default content (while loading or if JavaScript is disabled) can be set globally in your application configuration:
1 2 3 4 5
# app/config/config.yml
framework:
# ...
templating:
hinclude_default_template: hinclude.html.twig
You can define default templates per render()
function (which will override
any global default template that is defined):
1 2 3
{{ render_hinclude(controller('...'), {
'default': 'default/content.html.twig'
}) }}
Or you can also specify a string to display as the default content:
1
{{ render_hinclude(controller('...'), {'default': 'Loading...'}) }}
