No contact.twig in my work space

Hi.

Does anyone have any idea why I don't have a contact.twig file in my templates folder please? I right-clicked on the sidebar on the left, then clicked Refresh but no contact.twig came up. Thanks.

Hi Sean, no problem, that will work, below is what I have used;

$app->get("/contact", function() use($app) {
  $app->render("contact.twig"); //change of file extension on this line
})->name('contact');

Do you have a contact.html file? If so you need to change the name to contact.twig and then render it through you index.php file

Hi Mayur. Thanks for your help. My contact.html file now has the .twig extension. And I've changed a line below to reflect this:

$app->get("/contact", function() use($app) {
  $app->render("contact.twig"); //change of file extension on this line
});

Have I got it right?
