# `batch`
New in version 1.12.3: The `batch` filter was added in Twig 1.12.3.
The `batch` filter "batches" items by returning a list of lists with thegiven number of items. A second parameter can be provided and used to fill inmissing items:
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre> 1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre>{% set items = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g'] %}
<table>
{% for row in items|batch(3, 'No item') %}
<tr>
{% for column in row %}
<td>{{ column }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
</pre></div></td></tr></table>
The above example will be rendered as:
<table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre> 1
2
