truncate

Truncates a string down to the number of characters passed as the first parameter. An ellipsis (...) is appended to the truncated string and is included in the character count.

Input

{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncate: 13 }}

Output

The cat ca...

Custom ellipsis

truncate takes an optional second parameter that specifies the sequence of characters to be appended to the truncated string. By default this is an ellipsis (...), but you can specify a different sequence.

The length of the second parameter counts against the number of characters specified by the first parameter. For example, if you want to truncate a string to exactly 10 characters, and use a 3-character ellipsis, use 13 for the first parameter of truncate, since the ellipsis counts as 3 characters.

Input

{{ "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" | truncate: 18, ", and so on" }}

Output

ABCDEFG, and so on

No ellipsis

You can truncate to the exact number of characters specified by the first parameter and show no trailing characters by passing a blank string as the second parameter:

Input

{{ "I'm a little teapot, short and stout." | truncate: 15, "" }}

Output

I'm a little te

truncatewords

Truncates a string down to the number of words passed as the first parameter. An ellipsis (...) is appended to the truncated string.

Input

{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4 }}

Output

The cat came back...

Custom ellipsis

truncatewords takes an optional second parameter that specifies the sequence of characters to be appended to the truncated string. By default this is an ellipsis (...), but you can specify a different sequence.

Input

{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4, "--" }}

Output

The cat came back--

No ellipsis

You can avoid showing trailing characters by passing a blank string as the second parameter:

Input

{{ "The cat came back the very next day" | truncatewords: 4, "" }}

Output

The cat came back

upcase

Converts a string into uppercase.

Input

{{ 'i want this to be uppercase' | upcase }}

Output

I WANT THIS TO BE UPPERCASE

url_encode

Converts any URL-unsafe characters in a string into percent-encoded characters.

Input

{{ "john@liquid.com" | url_encode }}

Output

john%40liquid.com

Note that url_encode will turn a space into a + sign instead of a percent-encoded character.

Input

{{ "Tetsuro Takara" | url_encode }}

Output

Tetsuro+Takara

url_escape

Identifies all characters in a string that are not allowed in URLS, and replaces the characters with their escaped variants.

Input

Output

%3Chello%3E%20&%20%3Cshopify%3E

url_param_escape

Replaces all characters in a string that are not allowed in URLs with their escaped variants, including the ampersand (&).

Input

{{ "<hello> & <shopify>" | url_param_escape }}

Output

%3Chello%3E%20%26%20%3Cshopify%3E

Reversing strings

reverse cannot be used directly on a string, but you can split a string into an array, reverse the array, and rejoin it by chaining together other filters:

Input

{{ "Ground control to Major Tom." | split: "" | reverse | join: "" }}

Output

.moT rojaM ot lortnoc dnuorG
