Create an array in Shopify's liquid
According to Shopify’s documentation, you can’t create arrays with liquid.
Unfortunately, that means you can’t do something simple and clean like this:
{% assign fruits = \["orange", "apple", "peach"] %}Thankfully, there’s a workaround!
You can use the split filter to create accessible arrays in liquid:
{% assign fruits = "orange,apple,peach" | split: ',' %}It’s not particularly elegant, but it does the job. You can then loop over this array and do whatever you like:
{% for fruit in fruits %}
{{ fruit }}
{% endfor %}And voila.
Being able to capture arrays with liquid opens up a lot of possible applications for your Shopify store!
