The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.This is the production ready, battle tested implementation of the Twig Theme system for Drupal 7. It's not a backport from the D8 version, but it can be useful in a upgrade path.
It comes as theme engine file and a small library with the bindings to Drupal, you need to install Twig separately in your libraries system. See http://tfd7.rocks/install on how to install and use the theme engine.
This project has been in development over a few years and runs a fair amount of websites in production. The code is autoformatted using PHPStorm, it was originally written as a PSR1 compliant version.
I do believe that having the twig engine in D7 can be a useful thing considering the upgrade path to D8 when it is released. Developing A D7 site with twig templates that are syntactically 95% compatible with D8 can ensure a smoother process when upgrading to D8 later.
And last but not least, the project can be found here https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/ReneB/1075966 but please do read the install first, this is not a module or theme, it is a theme engine!

rene bakxThank you for the tips, the branche is actually 7.x-2.0-dev, because the 7.x-1 branch existed till a a year ago as straight port from the D6 version back then. I cleaned up most of the code and decided to go with a 7.2.x instead of a 7.1.x instead.
I will copy some of the content to the project page, but the main source of documentation will be tfd7.rocks.

Also, you should get your friends, colleagues or other community members involved to review this application. Let them go through the review checklist and post a comment that sets this issue to "needs work" (they found some problems with the project) or "reviewed & tested by the community" (they found no major flaws).

taslett commentedHi Rene,
I have created a D7 twig theme following your instructions for setting up the engine, it works well.
The version I downloaded required changing the filename of Nodevisitor.php to NodeVisitor.php.
Most web servers (Linux) will be case sensitive.
Thanks @SebCorbin for the main bootstrap twig files. I have also converted the other bootstrap tpl files and will make them available to you via github.

rene bakxStrange.. I thought i fixed that NodeVisitor issue once and for all by renaming it. Guess it only worked for the Github version.

I updated your account so you can promote this to a full project and also create new projects as either a sandbox or a "full" project.
Here are some recommended readings to help with excellent maintainership:
You can find lots more contributors chatting on IRC in #drupal-contribute. So, come hang out and stay involved!
Thanks, also, for your patience with the review process. Anyone is welcome to participate in the review process. Please consider reviewing other projects that are pending review. I encourage you to learn more about that process and join the group of reviewers.
