``first`` ========= .. versionadded:: 1.12.2 The ``first`` filter was added in Twig 1.12.2. The ``first`` filter returns the first "element" of a sequence, a mapping, or a string: .. code-block:: jinja {{ [1, 2, 3, 4]|first }} {# outputs 1 #} {{ { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }|first }} {# outputs 1 #} {{ '1234'|first }} {# outputs 1 #} .. note:: It also works with objects implementing the `Traversable`_ interface. .. _`Traversable`: http://php.net/manual/en/class.traversable.php
