Liquid Reference for Product and Attribute Layouts

9min

While building Product and Attribute Layouts, a large range of dynamic data is available- here is a full reference guide.
"This" Object Fields
The "this" object can be accessed on Product detail/item.liquid, list/item.liquid and attribute layout files. It contains the properties of the current Product and contains further relevant objects e.g. Price.
The entire "this" object can be outputted on the page for reference: {{this | json}}
The following fields are available:
Field Name
Liquid Tag
Description
Item Name
{{this.name}}
The Product's name
Item Slug
{{this.slug}}
The part of the URL for this Product's Detail Page which refers directly to this Product
Creation Date
{{this.create_date}}
The date the Product was created in Admin
Last Edit Date
{{this.last_edit_date}}
The date this Product was last edited in Admin
Release Date
{{this.release_date}} 
The date this Product is scheduled for release, or was first released on the Site. (A Product will not appear in the list if it has not been released.)
Expiry Date
{{this.expiry_date}} 
The date this Product will be no longer visible on the Site. (A Product will not appear in the list if it has expired.)
Enabled
{{this.enabled}} 
A "true" or "false" boolean value. If "false", the Product will not appear in the list.
Category Array
{{this.category_array}}
An array of ids of categories associated with this Product.
Description
{{this.Description}}
A description of the Product.
Image
{{this.Image}}
This is the main image for the Product, but more can be added with Custom Field Sets.
Accessing Custom Field Sets
Custom Field Set data linked to Products is available in Product detail/item.liquid, list/item.liquid and attribute layout files.
Any Custom Field Sets that have been associated with the product will be stored under: {{this.cfs_data}}
You can output the above liquid in the item.liquid file to see all of Custom Field Sets associated with the Product. Each of these will have the key "cfs_1", "cfs_2" etc.
For example, a developer has created just one Custom Field Set to store information about the Guarantee on the Product. 
The field can be accessed via: {{this.cfs_data.cfs_1.Guarantee}}

See more information about Custom Field Sets here.
The Price Object
The Price object contains all the information you need to display the Product's price in the format you want. It is available in Product detail/item.liquid, list/item.liquid and attribute layout files.
Field Name
Liquid Tag

Display Price
{{this.price.price_display}}
If the optional field Display Price was filled out when the Product was created, this will show that price as an integer, else, it will output null. This could be for example the RRP or price before tax.
Currency Symbol

Display Type

This stores the policy on what to do when the Inventory reaches zero. Either the Product can not be ordered, or it should be hidden from view.
The Attributes Object
These are available once Attributes have been added against the Product in Admin and you are inside a detail/item.liquid file or an Attribute layout file.
You can access the Attributes Object via the following liquid output: {{ this.product_attribute_options }}
Inside the Attribute Layout
Output Options for this Layout
Inside the Attribute Layout, you can access just the Options for that specific Attribute: {{ product_attribute_options }}
Output this Attribute's Name
You can also access the name of the Attribute this Layout is currently displaying: {{this_attribute.properties.name}}
Looping Over Attribute Options and Accessing Option Fields
As explained in the Attributes Layout Doc, we recommend you loop over the object and access the fields via the "option" liquid variable.
HTML
<select name="attr1" 
        class="form-control" 
        data-attribute-control="{{product_attribute_id}}" 
        onchange="s_e_update_price()">
  {% for option in product_attribute_options %}
    <option value="{{option.id}}" 
            data-attribute-price-control="{{option.price_raw}}">
            {{option.name}} this.price.currency_symbol}}{{option.price}})
            </option>
  {% endfor %}
</select>
<select name="attr1" 
        class="form-control" 
        data-attribute-control="{{product_attribute_id}}" 
        onchange="s_e_update_price()">
  {% for option in product_attribute_options %}
    <option value="{{option.id}}" 
            data-attribute-price-control="{{option.price_raw}}">
            {{option.name}} this.price.currency_symbol}}{{option.price}})
            </option>
  {% endfor %}
</select>
﻿
Assuming the above example liquid forloop has been implemented, you can access the fields in the table below. Remember the "option" liquid variable can be renamed, so if you have done this, replace "option" with the name you have given the variable. The Object contains Attribute Options and each of these contains information on the Attribute it is linked with.
