Optimizing forloop Index in Shopify

[Shopify Loops] How to use Shopify Loops (Shopify Liquid Programming - Part 5)

In this fifth video of the Shopify liquid programming series, we will learn how the loop works in Shopify liquid. Previous videos covered mathematical operations, variable assignment, if-else statements, logical operators, and switch-case statements.

Using the For Loop:

The for loop allows us to print a range of numbers from 1 to 10 without having to do it manually. We simply mention the variable and the range of numbers within the for loop.

Defining the First and Last Numbers:

We can define what to show for the first and last numbers using an if condition within the for loop. If it's the first number, we can display a specific line, and if it's the last number, we can display another line.

Using For Loop to Print Product Names:

We can use for loop to print all the product names in a specific collection. We need to find the handle of the collection and mention it in the code. We can also access other information such as when the product was created, when it was published, and the product URL using the for loop.

The for loop is a powerful tool in Shopify liquid programming that allows us to print ranges of numbers and collect product information. By mastering the for loop, we can customize our Shopify theme and start earning through freelancing.

How To Create Color Swatches for Product Variants in Shopify (Dawn Theme)

In this video, we will learn how to create color switches for our Shopify product page using the Shopify theme called done. We will divide the video into two parts: setting up the meta fields and using liquid to access the meta fields.

Setting up the Meta Fields:

- Access the settings page and open the meta fields page

- Create a new definition for the variance with a name, namespace, key, and content type

- Create the values for our variants by selecting a product and changing the color meta field for each variant

Using Liquid to Access the Meta Fields:

- Open the code editor and go to the main product.liquid file in the sections folder

- Use a for loop object to get the index and access the variant meta fields

- Apply the color to the label using the style attribute and the background color value from the meta field

- Use a condition to check if the meta field is set and only apply the style to the color option, not other options like size

By following these steps, you can easily create color switches for your Shopify product page using the done theme. Don't forget to use the correct meta field names and index values in your code. Happy coding!

Shopify Theme Development: LIQUID Programming For Beginners (Tutorial)

Whether you're a Shopify developer or not, if you use Shopify, chances are you'll encounter your store's source code, which is mostly written in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and of course, Liquid. If you're a developer, you probably know already what HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are, but what is Liquid? In this article, we will be discussing Liquid programming, so you can understand what is happening behind the scenes of your Shopify store.

What is Liquid?

Liquid is a template language created by Shopify and is mainly used for controlling or maintaining what is happening in the front-end or basically, it controls the flow of your Shopify store. You can consider Liquid as a back-end programming language. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are what you're seeing in your browser in your front-end, and then Liquid is what's working or basically, Liquid is the guy who works behind the scenes to control or maintain your Shopify store.

Liquid Codes:

Liquid codes are categorized into three parts: objects, filters, and tags.

1. Objects:

Objects are basically what you use to tell Shopify or Liquid what to render or display in front. To create or use an object, you need to start with double curly braces and then inside of that curly braces, you need to apply or provide an object or a variable.

2. Filters:

Filters change the output of your objects. They are the ones that modify the value of the object. You can use one or more filters in one object.

3. Tags:

Tags are the ones who control what is happening in your Shopify store. They control the flow of your Shopify store and the logic of your Shopify store.

Types of Tags:

1. Variable Assignment Tags:

Variable assignment tags are the text that you use for creating variables. There are four tags that you can use for creating variables: the assign tag, the capture tag, the increment, and the decrement tag.

2. Control Flow Tags:

Control flow tags are the text that you use to create programming logic. There are only four control flow tags that you can use in Liquid: the if statement, the if-else statement, the elsif statement, and the case and when.

3. Iteration Tags:

Iteration tags are the tags that repeat a block of code repeatedly until a condition returns false. There are only three iteration tags that you can use in Liquid: the for loop, the cycle, and the table row.

In conclusion, Liquid programming is a crucial part of Shopify development. Understanding the basics of Liquid programming can help you control the flow of your Shopify store and make changes to your store's front-end display. By learning Liquid, you can enhance your Shopify development skills and create functional Shopify themes from scratch.
