Symfony Components Integration

Security Support

If you are using the SecurityServiceProvider, you will have access to the is_granted() function in templates. You can find more information in the Symfony Security documentation.

    'plates.data' => array(
        'title' => 'Plates - Native PHP Templates',
    ),
    'plates.functions' => array(
        'uppercase' => function ($string) {
