How to use Twig-template for method's Explanatory Text?

Twig-template allows you to customize method's Explanatory Text depending on the presence of supported variable values such as:

1. Estimated delivery dates:
   
1. "from" - {{delivery_from}}
   
2. "to" - {{delivery_to}}
   
2. Estimated International duties & taxes - {{tax_amount}}
   

Allowed tags: if, for.

Filters: default, format_number, replace, round, trim, lower, upper, capitalize, title, date, date_modify.

Example 1:

If there are estimated delivery dates configured for the shipping method you may set Explanatory Text with variables:

Estimated delivery from {{delivery_from}} to {{delivery_to}}.

If there are no estimated delivery dates configured for the shipping method you may alter Explanatory Text to:

Delivery within 10 business days. 

The Twig-template will be the following:

1. {% if delivery_from and delivery_to %}
2.     Estimated delivery from {{delivery_from}} to {{delivery_to}}.
3. {% else %}
4.     Delivery within 10 business days.
5. {% endif %}

Example 2:

If there are estimated international duties & taxes configured for the shipping method you may set Explanatory Text with the variable:

Duties & taxes included - {{tax_amount}.

If there are no estimated international duties & taxes got from the carrier for the shipping method you may alter Explanatory Text to:

No duties & taxes included.

The Twig-template will be the following:

1. {% if tax_amount is not null %}
2.     Duties & taxes included - {{tax_amount}}.
3. {% else %}
4.     No duties & taxes included.
5. {% endif %}

You may also combine those variables in a single Twig-template for Explanatory Text:

1. {% if delivery_from and delivery_to %}
2.     Estimated delivery from {{delivery_from}} to {{delivery_to}}.
3. {% else %}
4.     Delivery within 10 business days.
5. {% endif %}
6. {% if tax_amount is not null %}
7.     Duties & taxes included - {{tax_amount}}.
8. {% else %}
9.     No duties & taxes included.
10. {% endif %}
