reuse variable as string

Question

This question maybe kind of silly but I'm a newbie for symfony anyway.
prescenario I pass a variable from controller into index.html.twig by doing this

 return $this->render('index/index.html.twig', [ 'department'=>$departments,'URILink'=>$URILink,'departmentDetail'=>$departmentDetails,'contentCell'=>$this->mContentCell ]);

After using {% dump %} it shows me

  "department" => array:3 [▶]
  "URILink" => "http://localhost/index/department/"
  "departmentDetail" => array:1 [▶]
  "contentCell" => "department.html.twig"

Then I need to reuse the variable contentCell as string in template to form syntax similar to this ;

<div>{{ include ('department.html.twig'),[departmentDetail:departmentDetail]</div>

For my first attempt I tried this,

<div> {{ include ({{ContentCell}}),[departmentDetail:departmentDetail]}} </div>

Unfortunately it showed me this error

A hash key must be a quoted string, a number, a name, or an expression enclosed in parentheses (unexpected token "punctuation" of value "{".

Any idea how could I use the variable contentCell as string value appropriately?

In twig when you include `template` and passing with data you have to safe syntax, for example when passing data you pass as json format: `{'variableName': yourData}` — Imanali Mamadiev, Aug 08 '17 at 10:52

yes, it can include department.html.twig but on bad side effect it breaking variable DepartmentDetail to pass – kristyan Aug 08 '17 at 09:01
This does not break anything and is a valid answer – DarkBee Aug 08 '17 at 12:03

Answer here pass data to twig

You can include a template like this per:

{{ include('YourBundle:ControllerName:yourAction.html.twig', {'variableName': yourData}) }}

Or like this per http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/include.html

{% include 'template.html' with {'foo': 'bar'} %}

nope @Imanali Mamadiev i avoid to use hard-coded template name since the logic of my code is 'no template will be showed if i didn't needed it', thats way reuse dynamic variable – kristyan Aug 08 '17 at 09:10
