Liquid Tags: Variables

Variables (no matter how they are defined) in Insites are local. This means that a variable defined inside a partial is not available on a page that includes it. To export variables from a partial read about the export tag.

This article discusses the following topics:

• assign
• capture
• increment
• decrement

assign

Creates a new named variable.

Input

Output

Assigned variables can be strings or booleans (true or false). Remember not to use quotation marks around the value if it is true or false:

Input

Output

capture

Captures the string inside of the opening and closing tags and assigns it to a variable. Variables that you create using capture are stored as strings.

Using , you can create complex strings using other variables created with assign. Outputting data from a tag results in stripped HTML.

Input

Output

increment

Creates a new number variable, and increases its value by 1 every time is called on the variable. The counter's initial value is 0.

Here, an increment counter is used to create a unique numbered class for each list item:

Input

Output

Variables created using are separate from variables created using or .

In the example below, a variable named is created using assign. The increment tag is then used several times on a variable with the same name. Note that the tag does not affect the value of that was created through .

Input

Output

decrement

Creates a new number variable, and decreases its value by 1 every time is called on the variable. The counter's initial value is -1.

Input

Output

Like , variables declared using are independent from variables created using or .
