I want to get and set the value of an ACF field into a variable in my home.php file and then use this as part of a query.
So, for example, if a user enters the word 'event' in the the field 'cat_name' in the CMS, I wanted to get and set this as a variable and then use this as part of a basic query to return all posts with a category of event..
What I have at the moment is below. How do I access ACF data in home.php / $context and then store it in the $my_var variable. Is this possible?
<?php
$context = Timber::get_context();
$context['post'] = new Timberpost();
$my_var = get_field('cat_name');
$context['posts'] = Timber::get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'category_name' => $my_var
));
Timber::render('home.twig', $context);
?>

You need to get the field value with the TimberPost method get_field() :
$my_var = $context['post']->get_field('field_name');
