Twig Inspector

The instrument that helps find twig templates and blocks and is used for rendering HTML pages faster during development. See Twig Inspector documentation for more details.

Debug Layout Blocks

To enable block debug information, navigate to System > Configuration > Development Settings > Include Block Debug Info Into HTML.

Each block in HTML has the following data attributes:

• data-layout-debug-block-id - a unique identifier of the current block

• data-layout-debug-block-template - the template of the current block that was rendered

Important

If you want to render block debug information in HTML, you need to define the {{ block(‘block_attributes’) }} for each twig block you have.

Example:

...
{% block _page_container_widget %}
    <div{{ block('block_attributes') }}>
        {{ block_widget(block) }}
    </div>
{% endblock %}

{% block _header_widget %}
    <header{{ block('block_attributes') }}>
        {{ block_widget(block) }}
    </header>
{% endblock %}
