Symfony2 & Twig, getting user variable

I'm having problems getting a user variable, in Twig. When i'm doing a var_dump(app.user) i get the following:

object(App\Bundle\CoreBundle\Entity\Employee)[1233]
  protected 'id' => int 1
  private 'group' => int 0
  protected 'fullName' => string 'Daniel Mensing' (length=14)
  protected 'username' => string 'dm' (length=2)
  protected 'usernameCanonical' => string 'dm' (length=2)

I've added the "fullName", which was not a part of the FOSUSerbundle.

Now, when i try to output the new variable (fullName) in twig, it tells me it does not exist(??) While the standard variables work fine(username, email..) at first i thought it was because i made fullName private, but doesnt work when protected either. Also in the vardump, they look exactly the same

I'm outputting the variables like this: {{ app.user.username }} or {{ app.user.fullName }}

Any1 can point me in the right direction? Or help explain what i'm doing wrong. Any help is much appreciated :-) Thanks

In Twig you can access object variables by several methods:

  • Public variable. user.fullName points directly to user object variable, like if you call $object->fullName in php

  • Public method. user.fullName points to getFullName() method of user object, like if you call $object->getFullName() in php.

So either make fullName public or add getFullName() method (recommended).

protected means that the variabile is available just to same class AND subclasses instances, but not from anywhere else.

Provide you class with a proper public getter, e.g. public function getFullname(){ return $this -> fullName; }.

You have to add getter for fullName field in App\Bundle\CoreBundle\Entity\Employee entity:

public function getFullName() {
    return $this->fullName;
}
