Working with Twig codes: adjusting the salutation, adjusting dates and working with time periods
​With these codes you can create specific functions; you do need to follow Twig's format. Example: you can adjust the salutation in a customer message so that it's capitalised, using the following code in combination with variables:

{% if customer.primaryContactPerson.salutation == 'heer' %} Mr (last name variable)

{% elseif customer.primaryContactPerson.salutation == 'mevrouw' %}

Dear Mrs (last name variable)

{% else %}

(salutation variable) (last name variable)

{% endif %}

Example: you can specify that a payment must be received five days after the current date. The code for this is:

{% set dateInFiveDays = "now"|date_modify("+5 days") %}

#{{ dateInFiveDays|date("d-m-Y") }}
