Working in Twig, I had to add classes to a pre-existing array.  Whilst I've grown used to the patterns in PHP, these cannot be applied in Twig.  Instead I had to merge the new array elements.

Working in Laravel, I needed to loop through an array and know whether the current loop was odd or even row.  To do this add the expression to your Twig file: {% set direction = loop.index0 is odd ? 'left' : 'right' %}In the call above, the variable direction is set to either left or right depending on the value of the position of the loop row (loop.index0).  I then used the left or right value in a div class adding to a series of tailwind css definitions.  Such...
