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

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 ⭐

            }]
        }]
    }
-->
{{ order.line_items | flat_map: "discount_allocations" | json }}

Output

[{"amount":1.23},{"amount":2.34},{"amount":3.45}]

group_by ⭐

Groups elements of the same property value. Creates an object where keys are the specified property value, and values are arrays of elements with the same property value.

Input

<!--
    order = {
        line_items: [{
            price: 1.23,
            vendor: "A"
        }, {
            price: 2.34, 
            vendor: "B"
        }, {
            price: 3.45, 
            vendor: "A"
        }]
    }
-->
{{ order.line_items | group_by: "vendor" | json }

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 }}
{{ doubled.height }}
{{ doubled.width }}

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

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:

- 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 %}

{%- capture note -%}
Foo 123 Bar 456
{%- endcapture -%}
{{ note | extract_number }}

Output

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.

Baz -56
{%- endcapture -%}
{{ note | extract_numbers | join: " " }}

Output

012 3.4 -56

md5

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

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:
