How to delete white spaces of a text in twig?

I'm using the twig template engine while using symfony2. I'm trying to find a way to delete the white spaces from a text.

For example, I play shall become Iplay.

I've tried:

Solution

  • First let's see what you tried and why that wasn't working:

    • Spaceless: is not working because "Use the spaceless tag to remove whitespace between HTML tags, not whitespace within HTML tags or whitespace in plain text" see spaceless documentation.
    • Trim: is not working because "The trim filter strips whitespace (or other characters) from the beginning and end of a string" see trim documentation.

    What you need to use is the following:

    {{ 'Some Text With Spaces'|replace({' ': ''}) }}

    This will output:

    SomeTextWithSpaces

    More details in the documentation.
