Shopify’s Liquid templating language makes it easy to customize your online store.
Liquid is a open-source template language created by Shopify. It is written in Ruby and provides a more powerful and flexible alternative to HTML.
Liquid has been designed to be as close to Ruby as possible, and to make it easy for developers to create their own custom tags and filters.
How Does Liquid Work
Liquid uses a combination of tags, objects, and filters to load dynamic content into your shop’s templates. Tags are used to insert Liquid objects into your templates.
Objects are used to access data stored in your shop, such as products, collections, and customers. Filters are used to modify the output of Liquid objects.
Here is a basic example of how Liquid works:
The following code will output the title of your shop:
{{ shop.name }}
The code above uses the shop object and the .name filter. The .name filter tells Liquid to output the name of your shop.
