Drupal 8/9 gets commentator details in the comment template

navya, Credit to volkotech-solutions Nov 28

If we do need the commentator's details in our drupal website, then here is the simple solution to get the values.

theme_name.theme

<?php
/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_comment().
 *
 * Add variables to the comment template:
 *  user picture, author name, comment depth, and changed date.
 */
function themeName_preprocess_comment(&$variables) {
  $variables['author_raw'] = $variables['comment']->getAuthorName();
  $variables['author_picture'] = user_view($variables['comment']->getOwner(), 'picture');
  $variables['comment_depth'] = count(explode('.', $variables['comment']->getThread()));
  if ($variables['comment']->getChangedTime() == $variables['comment']->getCreatedTime()) {
    $variables['changed_short'] = NULL;
  }
  else {
    $variables['changed_short'] = format_date($variables['comment']->getChangedTime(), 'short');
  }
}

comment.html.twig

{{ author_raw }}
{{ author_picture }}
{{ comment_depth }}
{{ changed_short }}
