AI summary of the plugin's readme

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Timber

You bet! Watch these Video Tutorials to see how.

Tens of thousands of sites now use Timber. You can check some of them out in the Showcase.

Does jQuery make JavaScript harder? Yes, it’s an extra piece to learn — but it super-charges your ability to write unencumbered JavaScript (and prevents you from having to learn lots of the messy internals). If your answer is "jQuery sucks and everyone should learn how to write vanilla JavaScript or they’re rotten stupid people," this tool isn’t for you. Oh, Timber is simple code so it’s for making simple themes Whatever. It simplifies the silly stuff so that you can focus on building more complicated sites and apps. jQuery simplifies Javascript, but you can still use the full range of JavaScript’s abilities.

At Upstatement we’re using it in dozens of sites (and many more planned) -- thousands of other developers are using it too. This isn’t going anywhere. Twig is the chosen language for other PHP platforms like Symfony, Drupal 8 and Craft.
