Introduction
Liquid is an open-source, Ruby-based template language created by Shopify. Yoolk uses this template language to allow external people to build Instant Website Theme.
<ul id="products">
{% for product in products %}
<li>
<h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
Only {{ product.price | number_to_currency }}
{{ product.description | simple_format }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>Liquid uses a combination of tags, objects, and filters to load dynamic content. They are used inside Liquid template files, which are a group of files that make up a theme. For more information on the available templates, please see Theme Development.
Tags
Tags make up the programming logic that tells templates what to do.
{% if user.name == 'elvis' %}
Hey Elvis
{% endif %}Objects
Objects contain attributes that are used to display dynamic content on the page.
{{ product.name }}
<!-- Output: Awesome T-Shirt-->Filters
Filters are used to modify the output of strings, numbers, variables, and objects.
{{ 'sales' | append: '.jpg' }}
<!-- Output: sales.jpg -->
