Liquid filters
Filters are simple methods that modify the output of numbers, strings, variables and objects. They are placed within an output tag {{ }} and are denoted by a pipe character |.
Input
<!-- item.title = "Invisible Watch" -->
{{ item.title | upcase }}
Output
INVISIBLE WATCH
In the example above, item is the object, title is its attribute, and upcase is the filter being applied.
Some filters require a parameter to be passed.
Input
{{ item.title | remove: "Invisible" }}
Output
Watch
Multiple filters can be used on one output. They are applied from left to right.
Input
<!-- item.title = "Invisible Watch" -->
{{ item.title | upcase | remove: "INVISIBLE"  }}
Output
WATCH
Array filters
Array filters change the output of arrays. Array is a synonym to list. For example, order.line_items is an array of line items or order.transactions is an array of transactions.
join
Joins the elements of an array with the character passed as the parameter. The result is a single string.
Input
{{ product.tags | join: ', ' }}
Output
tag1, tag2, tag3
first
Returns the first element of an array.
Input
<!-- product.tags = "sale", "mens", "womens", "awesome" -->
{{ product.tags | first }}
Output
sale
You can use first with dot notation when you need to use the filter inside a tag.
{% if product.tags.first == "sale" %}
  This product is on sale!
{% endif %}
last
Returns the last element of an array.
Input
<!-- product.tags = "sale", "mens", "womens", "awesome" -->
{{ product.tags | last }}
Output
awesome
You can use last with dot notation when you need to use the filter inside a tag.
{% if product.tags.last == "sale"%}
  This product is on sale!
{% endif %}
Using last on a string returns the last character in the string.
Input
<!-- product.title = "Awesome Shoes" -->
{{ product.title | last }}
Output
s
concat
Concatenates (combines) an array with another array. The resulting array contains all the elements of the original arrays. concat will not remove duplicate entries from the concatenated array unless you also use the uniq filter.
Input
{% assign fruits = "apples, oranges, peaches, tomatoes" | split: ", " %}
{% assign vegetables = "broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes" | split: ", " %}
​
{% assign plants = fruits | concat: vegetables %}
​
{{ plants | join: ", " }}
Output
apples, oranges, peaches, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes
You can string together multiple concat filters to combine more than two arrays:
Input
{% assign fruits = "apples, oranges, peaches" | split: ", " %}
{% assign vegetables = "broccoli, carrots, lettuce" | split: ", " %}
{% assign animals = "dogs, cats, birds" | split: ", " %}
​
{% assign things = fruits | concat: vegetables | concat: animals %}
​
{{ things | join: ", " }}
Output
apples, oranges, peaches, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, dogs, cats, birds
index
Returns the item at the specified index location in an array. Note that array numbering starts from zero, so the first item in an array is referenced with [0].
Input
<!-- product.tags = "sale", "mens", "womens", "awesome" -->
{{ product.tags[2] }}
Output
womens
map
Accepts an array element's attribute as a parameter and creates an array out of each array element's value.
Input
<!-- collection.title = "Spring", "Summer", "Fall", "Winter" -->
{% assign collection_titles = collections | map: 'title' %}
{{ collection_titles }}
Output
SpringSummerFallWinter
flat_map ⭐ 
Creates a flattened array of values taken from the specified attribute of each element of the input array. 
Input

<!--
    order = {
        line_items: [{
            price: 1.23,
            vendor: "A"
        }, {

Output
{"A":[{"price":1.23,"vendor":"A"},{"price":3.45,"vendor":"A"}],"B":[{"price":2.34,"vendor":"B"}]}
map_values ⭐ 
Transforms an object by running each of the object's property value by a given filter. First parameter of map_values is the filter name. The filter receives the object values one by one as its first parameter.  All remaining parameters provided to map_values are passed down to the given filter. 
Input
<!--
    dimensions = { depth: 3, height: 5, width: 7 } 
-->
​
{% assign doubled = dimensions | map_values: "times", 2 %}
{{ doubled.depth }}

Input
<!-- products = "a", "b", "A", "B" -->
{% assign products = collection.products | sort: 'title' %}
{% for product in products %}
   {{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
Output
A B a b
where
Creates an array including only the objects with a given property value, or any truthy value by default.
Input
All products:
{% for product in collection.products %}
- {{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
​
{% assign kitchen_products = collection.products | where: "type", "kitchen" %}
​
Kitchen products:
{% for product in kitchen_products %}
- {{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
Output
All products:

Math filters
Math filters allow you to apply mathematical tasks.
Math filters can be linked and, as with any other filters, are applied in order of left to right. In the example below, minus is applied first, then times, and finally divided_by.Copy
You save {{ product.compare_at_price | minus: product.price | times: 100.0 | divided_by: product.compare_at_price }}%
abs

abs will also work on a string if the string only contains a number.
Input
{{ "-19.86" | abs }}
Output
19.86
at_most
Limits a number to a maximum value.
Input
{{ 4 | at_most: 5 }}

Input
{{ "<p>test</p>" | escape }}
Output
&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;
extract_number ⭐ 
Extracts a first number from a string. It works for integers (123), decimal numbers (123.45), and negative numbers (-123). The extracted number is still a text so it doesn't strip leading zeros (0123).
Input
{%- capture note -%}
Foo 123 Bar 456
{%- endcapture -%}
{{ note | extract_number }}
Output
123
extract_numbers ⭐ 
Extracts all numbers from a string. It works for integers (123), decimal numbers (123.45), and negative numbers (-123). The extracted numbers are still a text to preserve leading zeros (0123). 
The result is an array.
Input
{%- capture note -%}
Foo 012
Bar 3.4
Baz -56
{%- endcapture -%}
{{ note | extract_numbers | join: " " }}
Output
012 3.4 -56
md5
Calculates an MD5 hash from a string.
An example use case for this filter is to calculate a checksum of a request payload, and include it in a request header. Such a checksum is required by some APIs, for example, the Richard Photo Lab API.
{{ output | strip_all | md5 }}
newline_to_br
Inserts a <br > linebreak HTML tag in front of each line break in a string.
Input
{% capture var %}
One
Two
Three
{% endcapture %}
{{ var | newline_to_br }}

truncate
Truncates a string down to the number of characters passed as the first parameter. An ellipsis (...) is appended to the truncated string and is included in the character count.
Input
{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncate: 13 }}
Output
The cat ca...
Custom ellipsis
truncate takes an optional second parameter that specifies the sequence of characters to be appended to the truncated string. By default this is an ellipsis (...), but you can specify a different sequence.
The length of the second parameter counts against the number of characters specified by the first parameter. For example, if you want to truncate a string to exactly 10 characters, and use a 3-character ellipsis, use 13 for the first parameter of truncate, since the ellipsis counts as 3 characters.
Input
{{ "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" | truncate: 18, ", and so on" }}
Output
ABCDEFG, and so on
No ellipsis
You can truncate to the exact number of characters specified by the first parameter and show no trailing characters by passing a blank string as the second parameter:
Input
{{ "I'm a little teapot, short and stout." | truncate: 15, "" }}
Output
I'm a little te
truncatewords
Truncates a string down to the number of words passed as the first parameter. An ellipsis (...) is appended to the truncated string.
Input
{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4 }}
Output
The cat came back...
Custom ellipsis
truncatewords takes an optional second parameter that specifies the sequence of characters to be appended to the truncated string. By default this is an ellipsis (...), but you can specify a different sequence.
Input
{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4, "--" }}
Output
The cat came back--
No ellipsis
You can avoid showing trailing characters by passing a blank string as the second parameter:
