I want to create a view that can show all the data from my database.

This is my function. How can I connect this to my twig file?

What does not works?

If you need a template engine you can use the twig by Symfony  
[Twig initialization in Slim (always into the container)](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/features/templates.html).

Anyway i suggest you to see the documentation (container section) for a better approach to the db initialization.

[Example of db connection initialization](https://github.com/damianopetrungaro/clean-architecture/blob/master/examples/slim/bootstrap/container.php#L55-L69) in the container
