How do you debug Twig templates effectively?

The question is about Twig

Answer:

For effective Twig template debugging, you can enable the `debug` mode in your Twig configuration. That will give you detailed error messages and highlight exactly at which part of a template the problem occurred. To inspect variable contents at any point within a template, use the ‘{% dump %}’ function, similar to ‘var_dump’ in PHP. Twig’s `{% debug %}` filter may also be useful in showing complex data structures. Moreover, in Symfony, you can enable the Web Profiler Toolbar, which will show you template paths, render times, and a lot of other useful information. For more advanced debugging, you can install Twig extensions and use IDEs such as PhpStorm, which supports breakpoints within Twig files and inline Twig file debugging. It speeds up debugging by allowing you to find bugs in complex templates more easily.
