Workspace Settings

The extension provides various workspace/user settings. Some options can be controlled using a .liquidrc configuration file. Take a look at the configuration section for more information on different settings. Below is a _bare minimum_ sample that shows how you'd configure settings for your project.

By default, it is assumed you are using vscode workspace/user settings.

Syntax Support

Liquid syntax highlighting is applied using detailed token captures which extend upon the HTML derivative. The core grammars account for all token structures available in Liquid and have been developed with theming consideration in mind. Liquid contained within Markdown, YAML and JSON languages are supported using vscode injection grammars and applied in a non-conflicting manner. The injected grammars allow intelliSense capabilities provided by vscode in these languages to persist and work without interruption.

Supported Languages

| Language Identifier | Language Alias | Supported Extension | IntelliSense Support |

| liquid | Liquid | .liquid, or .jekyll | ✓ | | json | JSON | .json | ✓ | | yaml | YAML | .yaml | ✓ | | markdown | Markdown | .md, .md.liquid | ✓ | | liquid-css | Liquid CSS | .css.liquid | 𐄂 | | liquid-scss | Liquid SCSS | .scss.liquid, sass.liquid | 𐄂 | | liquid-javascript | Liquid JavaScript | .js.liquid | 𐄂 |

Grammar Injections

In order to preserve vscode intellisense capabilities the below languages have Liquid grammars injected into them. The grammar injection will allow Liquid code to be highlighted and treated like the syntax exists as if it were part of the language.

• JSON • Yaml • Markdown

When these languages contain Liquid syntax, vscode might complain about invalid code. You should consider disabling validations when they contain Liquid. Please be aware that in situations where you leverage linters or third party tools, Liquid syntaxes will typically be interpreted as invalid. It is up to you to take the necessary steps to disable and prevent such issues from becoming problematic to your development experience.

Liquid in JSON, YAML and Markdown

Liquid tags, comments and object grammars are injected into JSON, YAML and Markdown languages. External language code regions and anything which requires an embedded language (ie: {% schema %}) are excluded. There is no need to use a .liquid suffix on these file names as Liquid syntax highlighting will be applied automatically.

_If for any reason the injections become problematic then please report an issue._

Liquid in CSS, SCSS, SASS and JavaScript

Liquid syntax contained in JavaScript, CSS, SCSS, SASS and other supported languages require a .liquid extension suffix be applied on file names. The suffix will associate these languages to a designated grammar, for example:…
