# Liquid Markup

Liquid is an open-source template language created by Shopify and implemented in Modyo Platform to connect the Content module with Channels. It enables creating dynamic content safely and efficiently.

# Liquid in Modyo

In Modyo, Liquid allows you to:

  • Display dynamic content from your Spaces and Types
  • Personalize the experience based on authenticated users
  • Create reusable components with Widgets and Templates
  • Generate responsive and adaptive layouts
  • Securely integrate data from multiple sources

# Why use Liquid?

  • You want to allow users to edit the appearance of your application without executing unsafe code on your server.
  • You want to render your templates directly from the database.
  • You prefer smart template engines (PHP style).
  • You need a template engine that works well in both HTML and emails.
  • You don't like the markup of your current template engine.

# What does Liquid look like?

<ul id="products">
  {% for product in products %}
    <li>
      <h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
      Only {{ product.price | price }}

      {{ product.description | prettyprint | paragraph }}
    </li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

Warning

From version 9.0.8 onwards, entry attributes will be called according to their meta information or their custom fields, such that:

  • Entry meta-information fields that were previously used as {{ entry.slug }}, should now be used as {{ entry.meta.slug }}, or {{ entry.meta['slug'] }}.
  • Custom fields that were previously used as {{ entry.title }}, should now be used as {{ entry.fields.title }}, or {{ entry.fields['title'] }}.

Both forms will be available until Modyo version 9.2.
