Twig Filter / Function for navigation

For dynamically adding / removing the current and active css classes in the navigation menu there is a Twig filter extension.

The file is ./srv/Twig/TwigFilterExtension.php which ist based on https://github.com/bocharsky-bw/ActiveMenuItemBundle/blob/master/src/Twig/BWExtension.php.

There is a Twig filter {{ 'route.name'|is_active }} and a Twig function {{ is_active('route.name') }}.

The filter compares the given route name against the route of the current / active page.
The optional lazyCheck parameter of the Twig function {{ is_active('route.name', true) }} is only needed for complex routes which will be shown in an advanced boilerplate.

There is a RootController class with some controller methods and route attributes.
The navigation menu can be found in ./src/templates/_sidebar.html.twig

Separate CSS/SCSS files for layouts/pages

For some pages or base-layouts like error or login/auth pages Mazer defines different CSS files. To get this working there is some logic in ./templates/base.html.twig. You have to define a base-layout variable in the twig templates above the extend command.

If you need further Mazer CSS/SCSS files (from the layouts/pages folders) which have to be referenced separately, add them as entrypoints (.addEntry) to the ./webpack.config.js file and use them in the ./templates/base.html.twig file with encore_entry_link_tags.

Please note that you only have to add CSS/SCSS files this way which can't be used with the other / default files.
E.g. if you use ./assets/mazer/scss/app.scss and ./assets/mazer/scss/themes/dark/app-dark.scss you can't use ./assets/mazer/scss/pages/auth.scss as well (some combinations break some stylings). You have to ensure that only app.scssand auth.scssare loaded and not app-dark.scss. Take a look at ./templates/base.html.twig and ./templates/bundles/TwigBundle/Exception/error404.html.twig to see how it works (with error.scss in this case) and extend the logic as needed.
