Timber\Archives

The TimberArchives class is used to generate a menu based on the date archives of your posts. The Nieman Foundation News site has an example of how the output can be used in a real site (screenshot).

<?php
$context['archives'] = new TimberArchives( $args );

<ul>
{% for item in archives.items %}

    {% for child in item.children %}

    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
