[TwigComponents] [Question] Render component using dynamically passed name

[Pechynho]

Hi,

I'm trying to render a Twig component using a dynamically passed name. Is there a way to achieve this in Twig? Here is an example of what I'm attempting to do:

{% set my_string = 'Modal' %}
{% component (my_string) with {type: 'success'} %}
    {% block content %}{{ ...content }}{% endblock %}
{% endcomponent %}

I want to be able to dynamically set the component name using the my_string variable. Any guidance or suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Do you have an error or something when executing this? You can also do this:

{% set my_string = 'Modal' %}

{{ component(my_string, {
   type: 'success',
   content: ...content
})

but here you need to have your content in a props.

@WebMamba is right, the only way to call component dynamically is with the component function.

Currently there is no possibility to embed content into components with dynamic name.

Maybe we could take inspiration from this: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/blade#dynamic-components

[smnandre]

You can call dynamic component already. It's embedding a component that does not work

Sorry! ☺️

Inspired by what @seb-jean said, we could perhaps create a dynamic-component component like for icons and then use it with HTML Syntax.

Without content:

{% set component_name = 'Modal' %}

<twig:ux:dynamic-component component="{{ component_name }}" />

With content:

{% set component_name = 'Modal' %}

<twig:ux:dynamic-component component="{{ component_name }}">
    {{ block(outerBlocks.content) }}
</twig:ux:dynamic-component>

So the content can be passed with dynamic component names.

This is not the real problem, for now the component tag does not allow dynamic bloc names.

The HTML syntax is only sugar on top of it

Thank you for this issue.
There has not been a lot of activity here for a while. Has this been resolved?

[carsonbot]

Friendly reminder that this issue exists. If I don't hear anything I'll close this.

Good timing, @Valmonzo recently asked me about dynamic component name, and I suggested the following syntaxes:

{{ component(componentName) }}
{% component (componentName) %}
<twig:component :is="componentName"/> {# like Vue.js #}

WDYT?
