May I have a generic example of how the Liquid map filter works? There doesn’t appear to be documentation for this. The map filter is to “map/collect an array on a given property” – but how do you determine the property?
This example exists – Liquid Template Map Filter – but it seems specific to a single use case. How does map work generally?
I understand that the output to be filtered is array, but what is the parameter for map?
For example:
{{ page.tags | map: 'name' }}
What is name? Is it the label for the value to be output? For a given object, how does one determine what that label might be?
map works by iterating through each element of the array of elements, and then getting the value for the given property.
You would have to know what the property is for the array of elements you’re passing in.
ie: if you had a collection.products, and you want to grab the handle for each product in the collection, and then return them in a comma seperated string, you could then do:
and that would list out all the product handles:
