The easy way is to add a @liquid_methods@ call:

<pre><code>

<pre>

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base

@liquid_methods@ actually constructs a "Liquid Drop":http://liquid.rubyforge.org/classes/Liquid/Drop.html with the methods you include. This way, you have lazy loading (say, of associated models such as "comments" in the example above) of methods.

An alternate route is to add a @to_liquid@ call in your object,

returning either one of the types listed above (string, array, hash, etc) or an object that in turn responds to @to_liquid@.

<pre><code>

<pre>

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base

Finally, you can write and register a completely new "Liquid Drop":http://liquid.rubyforge.org/classes/Liquid/Drop.html class.
|
||||
This enables you to pull from various models and helps you consolidate (lazy-loaded) methods used just for passing data to templates.
