where

Filter = where

Creates an array including only the objects with a given property value, or any truthy value by default. In this example, assume you have a list of products and you want to show your kitchen products separately. Using "where", you can create an array containing only the products that have a "type" of "kitchen".

INPUT

OUTPUT

All products: {% for product in products %} - {{ product.title }} {% endfor %} {% assign kitchen_products = products | where: "type", "kitchen" %} Kitchen products: {% for product in kitchen_products %} - {{ product.title }} {% endfor %}

All Products:

  • Vacuum

  • Spatula

  • Television

  • Garlic press

Kitchen Products:

  • Spatula

  • Garlic press

Say instead you have a list of products and you only want to show those that are available to buy. You can where with a property name but no target value to include all products with a truthy "available" value.

INPUT

OUTPUT

All products:

{% for product in products %}

- {{ product.title }}

{% endfor %}

{% assign available_products = products | where: "available" %}

Available products:

{% for product in available_products %}

- {{ product.title }}

{% endfor %}

All Products:

  • Coffee mug

  • Limited edition sneakers

  • Boring sneakers

Available Products:

  • Coffee mug

  • Boring sneakers

The" where" filter can also be used to find a single object in an array when combined with the "first" filter. For example, say you want to show off the shirt in your new fall collection.

INPUT

OUTPUT

{% assign new_shirt = products | where: "type", "shirt" | first %} Featured product: {{ new_shirt.title }}

Featured Product: Hawaiian print sweater vest
