Display the name of the category of an article-CodePudding

I am new to symfony and Twig. I can display my articles by categories but I cannot display the category name of an article. I want to display the category name of an article but I cannot. I do like this knowing that I have a Category entity and an Article entity: I thank you for your help.

CodePudding user response：

You have many to many for your categories so it would be like this to show all article categories:

{% for category in article.category %}
   <span class="fontz-text glow">Category: {{ category.name }}</span>
{% endfor %}

For just one category you can do this:

<span class="fontz-text glow">Category: {{ article.category[0].name }}</span>
