+``html_attr``
+================
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.x
+    The ``html_attr`` function was added in Twig 2.x.
+
+The ``html_attr`` function returns a string by joining html attributes together:
+
+.. code-block:: twig
+
+    {% set attr = {
+            id: 123,
+            disabled: true,
+            hidden: false,
+            type: 'button',
+            'aria-expandend': 'false',
+        } %}
+    <button{{ html_attr(attr) }}></button>
+
+    {# example output: <button id="123" disabled type="button" aria-expandend="false"></button> #}
+
+.. note::
+
+    The ``html_attr`` function is part of the ``HtmlExtension`` which is not
+    installed by default. Install it first:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ composer req twig/html-extra
+
+    Then, use the ``twig/extra-bundle`` on Symfony projects or add the extension
+    explictly on the Twig environment::
+
+        use Twig\Extra\Html\HtmlExtension;
+
+        $twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
+        $twig->addExtension(new HtmlExtension());
