In Symfony, you don’t always have to actually pass values from your controllers to your Twig views.  Twig can actually pull global and server values directly through the super global “app” variable.  Most frequently, you can access these corresponding objects like Kernel, Request, Security and Session variables like so:

{{app.kernel.cachedir}}
{{app.kernel.logdir}}
{{app.kernel.rootdir}}
 
{{app.request.basepath}}
{{app.request.baseurl}}
{{app.request.uri}}

{{app.security.token.user}}

{{app.session.locale}}
