Usage

PHP

Example controller code:, _(*4)

//add code to a block
$this->container->get('lcn.template_block')->add('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT');

////adding the same code to a block again is ignored by default. You can force adding the same code by supplying false as third argument
$this->container->get('lcn.template_block')->add('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT', false);

//you can set the code in a block effectively overriding existing code in the block
$this->container->get('lcn.template_block')->set('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT');

//clear a block
$this->container->get('lcn.template_block')->clear('BLOCK_NAME');

//get the code of a block
$this->container->get('lcn.template_block')->get('BLOCK_NAME', 'OPTIONAL_FALLBACK_CODE');

TWIG

Example Twig template code:, _(*5)

{# add code to a block #}
{{ lcn_add_to_template_block('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT') }}

{# adding the same code to a block again is ignored by default. You can force adding the same code by supplying false as third argument #}
{{ lcn_add_to_template_block('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT', false) }}

{# you can set the code in a block effectively overriding existing code in the block #}
{{ lcn_set_template_block('BLOCK_NAME', 'BLOCK_CONTENT') }}

{# clear a block #}
{{ lcn_clear_template_block('BLOCK_NAME') }}

{# the code is escaped by default, but cou can also get the raw code of a block #}
{{ lcn_template_block_raw('BLOCK_NAME', 'OPTIONAL_FALLBACK_CODE') }}
