Optimizing Twig Rendering in Symfony to Avoid Duplicate Code

If you're working with Symfony and Twig, you might encounter situations where you're rendering the same template multiple times, leading to duplicated code. This can clutter your codebase and complicate your logic. In this guide, we'll explore a common scenario where this occurs and offer a solution that not only simplifies your code but maintains performance integrity.

The Problem

A developer faced a situation where they needed to render an email template twice:

The first rendering prepared the email content to save it as an HTML file in an S3 bucket.

The second rendering included a link to the online version of the email for recipients.

Here's an example of the initial code:

This leads to unnecessary duplication of the rendering process. How can we address this issue effectively?

The Solution

Reworking Your Rendering Approach

Instead of rendering the email template twice, consider a strategy of preparing the content once and then manipulating it as needed. Here are the steps to consolidate your code:

Render the Email Body Once: Prepare the email content without the S3 link.

Store the S3 URL: After saving the email to S3, generate the link to the email online.

Prepend the Link: When generating the final email to send, add the link dynamically.

Implementing the Changes

Here's a streamlined code example showing this approach:

Alternate Strategy: Use Separate Templates

If the email template logic starts to grow complex, you might want to separate the base email content and the header with a link into different templates. This way, each part maintains its structure but can be combined dynamically.

Conclusion

By employing either of these strategies, you can significantly reduce the duplication in your Twig rendering logic while maintaining performance and clarity in your code. Remember, though rendering twice may not pose a significant performance issue due to caching, refining your approach makes your code cleaner and easier to manage in the long term. Happy coding!
