* fix(security): block Object.prototype filter/tag lookups (RCE)
`liquid.filters` and `liquid.tags` were plain `{}` so bracket access on
template-controlled keys inherited from `Object.prototype`. Most damaging:
`{{ x | valueOf }}` resolved to `Object.prototype.valueOf`, which the
filter pipeline called as a handler with `this = FilterImpl`; valueOf
returns its receiver, leaking `context`, `liquid`, `token` (and via them
parser, loader, fs) into the template — chain that with `group_by`/`where`
gadgets and an attacker reaches `Function`/`child_process` for RCE.
Same shape on the tag side: `{% constructor %}` bypassed the
"tag not found" assertion and crashed with a confusing message.
Use null-prototype storage so `liquid.filters[name]` / `liquid.tags[name]`
only resolve to explicitly registered entries. The existing
`assert(impl || !strictFilters)` and `assert(TagClass, ...)` now do the
right thing for `valueOf`, `toString`, `constructor`, `__proto__`,
`hasOwnProperty`, `isPrototypeOf`, `__defineGetter__`, etc.

* fix(context): use null-prototype scope and register objects
Add createScope(); use for bottom scope, spawn default, getAll merge, ctx.push frames, filter loops, include/layout blocks registers, and cycle groups. registers uses Object.create(null) and getRegister uses ??.
For-loop continue register defaults to 0 (not {}): Array.slice coerces plain {} but not null-prototype objects.
Export createScope from the package entry.

* revert(context): plain {} registers and getRegister ||
Registers are only mutated by tag implementations, not templates; keep null-prototype scopes/createScope for push frames.

* test(context): assert scope isolation without probing prototypes
Replace Object.getPrototypeOf checks for bottom() and getAll() with
'in' checks on typical Object.prototype names plus a merge assertion.

* test(context): cover Object.prototype keys under ownPropertyOnly
- Add getSync cases for constructor and valueOf on plain objects
- Remove scope storage tests that used the in operator

* refactor: remove createScope helper
Drop the exported helper and finish migrating call sites. Revert incidental context/for/include/layout churn so behavior matches mainline aside from the removal. Trim duplicate e2e and heavy Object.prototype loops in registry tests.

liquidjs
A simple, expressive and safe Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. The purpose of this repo is to provide a standard Liquid implementation for the JavaScript community so that Jekyll sites, GitHub Pages and Shopify templates can be ported to Node.js without pain.
- Documentation
- Please star LiquidJS on GitHub!
- Financial support via GitHub Sponsors.
What's it like?
Basically there're two types of Liquid syntax: tags enclosed by {% %} and outputs enclosed by {{ }}. A Liquid template looks like:
{% if username %}
{{ username | append: ", welcome to LiquidJS!" | capitalize }}
{% endif %}
A live demo is also available and here's a quick tutorial for Liquid syntax.
Installation
Install from npm in Node.js:
npm install liquidjs
Or use the UMD bundle from jsDelivr:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/liquidjs/dist/liquid.browser.min.js"></script>
Or render directly from CLI using npx:
npx liquidjs --template 'Hello, {{ name }}!' --context '{"name": "Snake"}'
For more details, refer to the Setup Guide.
Who's Using LiquidJS?
- Eleventy: Eleventy, a simpler static site generator.
- Github Docs: The open-source repo for docs.github.com.
- Kibana: Elastic's analytics and visualization platform for Elasticsearch; workflow features use LiquidJS for Liquid templates.
