Possible to use Twig's source() function for a non-view file?

[cviebrock]

I've been researching ways to inline SVGs into my Twig templates. One suggestion was to use Twig's source function, which returns the content of a template without rendering it.

However, in my L5.4 project I have my templates in /resources/views and my SVGs in /resources/assets/svg.

Because (I think) the way TwigBridge sets up the Twig_Loader_Filesystem, it's only looking in the first directory for the argument I pass to source(). So I get an error like:

Template "logo.svg" is not defined (View [logo.svg] not found.) in "partials.pageHeader" at line 3.

Any suggestions on how to configure the loader to look in two different places?

Follow-up to my own issue: I was able to kinda solve this by editing config/view.php in my Laravel project to tell it that I have another possible view directory:

    'paths' => [
        resource_path('views'),
        resource_path('assets/svg')
    ],

However, it still assumes that templates end with "twig" (as defined in config/twigbridge.php). So it only works if I rename my "logo.svg" file to "logo.twig".

I'd like to avoid this if possible, so my original question still stands.

If anyone finds this, the answer is to create your own extension to call file_get_contents.

Its safer if you don't pass a path to that function from your twig but you do you.
