I am looking to count the number of entries I have in an array in Twig. This is the code I've tried:
{%for nc in notcount%}
{{ nc|length }}
{%endfor%}
This however only produces the length of the string of one of the values in the array.
{{nc}}
will produce an output of all the values of the array (there are 2) but I want the output to be just the number 2 (the count) and not all the information in the array.
This question is related to
twig
This expands on the answer by Denis Bubnov.
I used this to find child values of array elements—namely if there was a anchor field in paragraphs on a Drupal 8 site to build a table of contents.
{% set count = 0 %}
{% for anchor in items %}
{% if anchor.content['#paragraph'].field_anchor_link.0.value %}
{% set count = count + 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if count > 0 %}
--- build the toc here --
{% endif %}
Best practice of getting length is use length
filter returns the number of items of a sequence or mapping, or the length of a string. For example: {{ notcount | length }}
But you can calculate count of elements in for
loop. For example:
{% set count = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount %}
{% set count = count + 1 %}
{% endfor %}
{{ count }}
This solution helps if you want to calculate count of elements by condition, for example you have a property name
inside object and you want to calculate count of objects with not empty names:
{% set countNotEmpty = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount if nc.name %}
{% set countNotEmpty = countNotEmpty + 1 %}
{% endfor %}
{{ countNotEmpty }}
