Drupal - Using Twig how can I get the summary of the body field to use in a template?
The only way I managed to solve this is:
if you only want to target the value of the summary, you can target the entity you're on. If you're on a node then you can do this :
node.body.summary
In a paragraph
paragraph.field_body.summary
You can also get the summary front content like this :
content.body['#object'].body.summary
Not great but will do for now.
In your THEME.theme file you can just define it too:
function THEME_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
$variables['node_teaser'] = $node_array['body'][0]['summary'];
}
And then display it with:
{{ node_teaser }}
To build on what 4k4 wrote (and updated for 2018):
You first choose the way you'd like the field formatted, then you print it.
1) Go to Structure > Content Types > YOUR CONTENT TYPE > Manage Display > YOUR VIEW MODE.
2) Under the "Formatter" column, choose "Summary or Trimmed."
3) Save.
4) In your twig file you should be able to just print {{ body }} (this is what works for me, but correct me if I'm wrong and I'll update).
This works for me using the node in a View block, and should work on the node as well.
