URL filters

{% assign url = "https://www.examplelink.com" %}
<a href='{{url}}'>Shop the collection</a>

Property accessor filter

Example hash: {"a" => 42, "b" => 0} Example input: {{hash | property_accessor: 'a'}} Example output: 42

Additionally, the property accessor filter allows you to template a custom attribute into a hash key to access a particular hash value.

Number formatting filters

JSON escape / string escape filter

This filter should always be used when personalizing a string in a JSON dictionary and is useful for webhooks in particular.
