Hi @heithemmoumni,

Ping @PrestaShop/prestashop-core-developers what do you think?

Thanks!

This is already happening in the back-office 😉, we are migrating BO pages one by one from legacy prestashop framework to Symfony, and each new page uses Twig instead of Smarty.

However we cannot remove Smarty from front-office now as it would be a major BC break that would make all current FO themes totally useless. This would be a very harsh move for the community and a violation of SemVer :/ .

When we release next major version (= BC breaks allowed) we might drop smarty for twig, this has not been decided yet. Most of us would be happy to perform this move, however we need to consider the community and make sure this is in the best interest of both the software and its users.

Hi @heithemmoumni,

So, can we close this ticket?

Thanks!

@khouloudbelguith If there is no other issue for Twig in Front office, we can't keep this one but the title needs to be changed.
