- What does phpmob/twig-modify-bundle do?
- It is a small Symfony/PHP bundle that extends Twig with modification helpers, letting you transform values directly in templates. The package positions itself as a Twig minifier, so its main use case is keeping presentation logic concise and reusable instead of scattering formatting code across controllers or services. It is not a full templating framework, just a set of Twig extensions.
- Does phpmob/twig-modify-bundle work with Laravel?
- Not natively. The package is built as a Symfony bundle, so Laravel would need manual service wiring or a Twig bridge package to register the extensions and configuration. Laravel ships with Blade by default, and Twig support in Laravel is always a third-party integration. Treat Laravel fit as conditional and prototype it in a branch before committing.
- How do I install phpmob/twig-modify-bundle with Composer?
- Run composer require phpmob/twig-modify-bundle and then register the bundle in your Symfony bundles configuration. The 2.0.0 release may also pull in Symfony Cache components, so check the resolved dependency tree after install. In Laravel there is no guaranteed package auto-discovery for a Symfony bundle, so verify what actually gets registered.
- What changed in phpmob/twig-modify-bundle 2.0.0?
- Release 2.0.0 replaces the package's cache service with an sf cache adapter, most plausibly a Symfony Cache, PSR-6, or PSR-16 implementation. That is an infrastructure-layer substitution on a hot path, not a new template feature. The changelog is effectively one line, so read the diff before upgrading.
- Will upgrading to 2.0.0 invalidate my existing cache?
- Very likely. Changing the cache backend alters serialization format, key naming, TTL handling, and tag or namespace behavior, so old entries are usually unreadable by the new code. The best case is silent cache misses; the worst case is deserialization errors on read. Flush the cache around the deploy and be careful with mixed-version fleets during rolling releases.
- How should I configure the cache adapter in 2.0.0?
- First confirm whether the sf adapter is mandatory or just one selectable driver, because that determines whether the upgrade forces a cache migration in the same window. Check whether the package now requires symfony/cache and which major version, whether it still honors your framework's cache defaults, and whether its service provider registers conditionally. If a native store option exists, keep using it until you have verified equivalence.
- Does the Symfony cache adapter conflict with Laravel's Cache facade?
- It does not technically conflict, but it creates a second caching abstraction alongside Illuminate's cache layer. You end up with two configuration surfaces, two invalidation models, and two mental models for the same concern. That is manageable when it is a deliberate choice for portability or interop, but avoid splitting cache responsibility by accident, and namespace your keys carefully.
- How do I test that the new cache adapter behaves the same?
- Build a test matrix covering every code path that reads or writes cache: hits, misses, tagged flushes, TTL edge cases, and namespace prefixes. Use Cache::spy(), adapter-level logging, and integration tests against the real stores you run in production. If possible, rehearse a mixed-version deploy, since that is the window where stale reads and deserialization failures surface.
- Do Laravel cache events, Telescope, and Cache::spy() still work with the package's adapter?
- Probably not. Laravel's cache events, Telescope integration, and per-store metrics are tied to Illuminate cache stores, so routing through an external Symfony or PSR adapter can bypass them. That means losing hit and miss visibility exactly when you are debugging an upgrade. Wrap the adapter with your own instrumentation or keep the package on a Laravel-native store.
- What are alternatives to phpmob/twig-modify-bundle for Twig in Laravel?
- If you only need minification, output compression middleware or a Twig extension you control is often simpler than adopting a Symfony bundle. For Twig in Laravel generally, look at dedicated Twig bridge packages, and for pure Laravel work, Blade plus custom directives does the same job with first-party support. Evaluate alternatives if the 2.0.0 cache change adds a dependency and migration burden your Laravel-only shop does not need.
