Symfony – Typehint (intellisense) objects within a twig loop

phpstormsymfonytwig

I've searched for a solution but I can't find any suitable for Twig, I know it's a quality of life thing. But it would make templating slightly easier.

Example

{% for userObj in userObjCollection %}
  {{ userObj.property }} 
  {# I want to type hint userObj so I can use intellisense to get the right property #}
{% endfor %}

I'm currently using the PHPStorm IDE,
any suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Edit
Note that this is pure a question for an easier way to code within the loop. Not something a user of a site would come in contact with. (Also added phpstorm tag to clarify)

Edit 2
I've got the Symfony2 and PHP Annotations plugins installed (Sorry for not pointing this out earlier)

Use this in your twig:

{# @var foo \FooObject #}

Php – How to check for null in Twig

Depending on what exactly you need:

is null checks whether the value is null:

{% if var is null %}
    {# do something #}
{% endif %}

is defined checks whether the variable is defined:

{% if var is not defined %}
    {# do something #}
{% endif %}

Additionally the is sameas test, which does a type strict comparison of two values, might be of interest for checking values other than null (like false):

{% if var is sameas(false) %}
    {# do something %}
{% endif %}

Symfony – How to get config parameters in Symfony2 Twig Templates

You can use parameter substitution in the twig globals section of the config:

Parameter config:

parameters:
    app.version: 0.1.0

Twig config:

twig:
    globals:
        version: '%app.version%'

Twig template:

{{ version }}

This method provides the benefit of allowing you to use the parameter in ContainerAware classes as well, using:

$container->getParameter('app.version');
