A feature-rich [Liquid][shopify-liquid] implementation for Node.js, with compliance with [Jekyll][jekyll] and [Github Pages][gh].
Installation:
```bash
npm install --save shopify-liquid
```
## Render from String
Parse and Render:
```javascript
var Liquid = require('shopify-liquid');
var engine = Liquid();
engine.parseAndRender('{{name | capitalize}}', {name: 'alice'})
.then(function(html){
// html === 'Alice'
});
```
Caching templates:
```javascript
var tpl = engine.parse('{{name | capitalize}}');
engine.render(tpl, {name: 'alice'})
.then(function(html){
// html === 'Alice'
});
```
## Render from File
```javascript
var engine = Liquid({
root: path.resolve(__dirname, 'views/'), // for layouts and partials
extname: '.liquid',
cache: false
});
engine.renderFile("hello.liquid", {name: 'alice'})
.then(function(html){
// html === 'Alice'
});
// equivalent to:
engine.renderFile("hello", {name: 'alice'})
.then(function(html){
// html === 'Alice'
});
```
`cache` default to `false`, `extname` default to `.liquid`, `root` default to `""`.
## Strict Rendering
Undefined filters and variables will be rendered as empty string by default.
Enable strict rendering to throw errors upon undefined variables/filters:
```javascript
var opts = {
strict_variables: true,
strict_filters: true
};
engine.parseAndRender("{{ foo }}", {}, opts).catch(function(err){
// err.message === undefined variable: foo
});
engine.parseAndRender("{{ 'foo' | filter1 }}", {}, opts).catch(function(err){
// err.message === undefined filter: filter1
});
// Note: the below opts also work:
// engine.render(tpl, ctx, opts)
// engine.renderFile(path, ctx, opts)
```
## Use with Express.js
```javascript
// register liquid engine
app.engine('liquid', engine.express({
strict_variables: true, // Default: fasle
strict_filters: true // Default: false
}));
app.set('views', './views'); // specify the views directory
app.set('view engine', 'liquid'); // set to default
```
There's an Express demo [here](demo/express/).
## Use in Browser
[Download][releases] the dist files and import into your HTML.
And `window.Liquid` is what you want.
```html
```
There's also a [demo](demo/browser/).
## Includes
```
// file: color.liquid
color: '{{ color }}' shape: '{{ shape }}'
// file: theme.liquid
{% assign shape = 'circle' %}
{% include 'color' %}
{% include 'color' with 'red' %}
{% include 'color', color: 'yellow', shape: 'square' %}
```
The output will be:
```
color: '' shape: 'circle'
color: 'red' shape: 'circle'
color: 'yellow' shape: 'square'
```
## Layouts
```
// file: default-layout.liquid
Header
{% block content %}My default content{% endblock %}
Footer
// file: page.liquid
{% layout "default-layout" %}
{% block content %}My page content{% endblock %}
```
The output of `page.liquid`:
```
Header
My page content
Footer
```
* It's possible to define multiple blocks.
* block name is optional when there's only one block.
## Register Filters
```javascript
// Usage: {{ name | uppper }}
engine.registerFilter('upper', function(v){
return v.toUpperCase();
});
```

## Register Tags
```javascript
// Usage: {% upper name%}
engine.registerTag('upper', {
parse: function(tagToken, remainTokens) {
this.str = tagToken.args; // name
},
render: function(scope, hash) {
var str = Liquid.evalValue(this.str, scope); // 'alice'
return Promise.resolve(str.toUpperCase()); // 'Alice'
}
});
```
