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

reverse

Reverses the order of the items in an array.

Input
{% assign my_array = "apples, oranges, peaches, plums" | split: ", " %}
​
{{ my_array | reverse | join: ", " }}

Output
plums, peaches, oranges, apples

size

Returns the size of a string (the number of characters) or an array (the number of elements).

Input
{{ 'The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.' | size }}

Output
42

You can use size with dot notation when you need to use the filter inside a tag.

{% if collections.frontpage.products.size > 10 %}
  There are more than 10 products in this collection!
{% endif %}

sort

Sorts the elements of an array by a given attribute of an element in the array.

{% assign products = collection.products | sort: 'price' %}
{% for product in products %}
  <h4>{{ product.title }}</h4>
{% endfor %}

The order of the sorted array is case-sensitive.

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:
- Vacuum
- Spatula
- Television
- Garlic press
​
Kitchen products:
- Spatula
- Garlic press

You can use a property name with where that has no target value when that property is a boolean or truthy. For example, the available property of products.

Example

{% assign available_products = collection.products | where: "available" %}
​
Available products:
{% for product in available_products %}
- {{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}

uniq

Removes any duplicate instances of elements in an array.

Input
{% assign fruits = "orange apple banana apple orange" %}
{{ fruits | split: ' ' | uniq | join: ' ' }}

Output
orange apple banana

Date filter

date

Converts a timestamp into a specified date format.

Input
{{ order.created_at | date: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" }}

Output
2021-02-03 04:56:07

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

Returns the absolute value of a number.

Input
{{ -25 | abs }}

Output
25

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 }}
{{ 4 | at_most: 3 }}

Output
4
3

at_least

Limits a number to a minimum value.

Input
{{ 4 | at_least: 5 }}
{{ 4 | at_least: 3 }}

Output

4

ceil

Rounds an output up to the nearest integer.

Input
{{ 1.2 | ceil }}
{{ 3.0 | ceil }}

2
3
4

Liquid tries to convert the input to a number before the filter is applied.

Input
{{ "4.5" | ceil }}

Output
5

divided_by

Divides an output by a number. The output is rounded down to the nearest integer.

Input
<!-- product.price = 200 -->

The difference between round and to_fixed it that round returns a number so it trims trailing zeros while to_fixed will preserve them.

Input
{{ 4.5000 | round: 2 }}
{{ 4.5000 | to_fixed: 2 }}

Output
4.5
4.50

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:

Input
{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4, "" }}

Output
The cat came back
