Overview of this book

Shopify is one of the fastest-growing eCommerce platforms, which means developers familiar with the Liquid concept are needed now more than ever. This book will help you to build a solid foundation by enabling you to develop your skills from the ground up by gaining essential theoretical knowledge of Liquid and putting that knowledge to use through hands-on projects. Shopify Theme Customization with Liquid begins by helping you get to grips with basic Shopify information, its interface and theme structure, setting up your Partner account, and creating a child theme, which is essential when preparing for any future work on Shopify. You'll then explore Liquid core features that will provide you with a basic understanding of the Liquid programming logic needed to develop any feature. As you advance to the latest and advanced features, you'll learn about JSON settings, allowing you to create any type of static or dynamic section - a must-have for becoming a competent Shopify developer. Finally, the book takes you through the Shopify Ajax API to gain the necessary skills needed to create a variety of dynamic features and content. By the end of this Shopify book, you'll be able to take on challenging projects to showcase your theme customization expertise to your future employer.

Deprecated tags

Deprecated tags are Liquid tags that are considering as outdated, and we should no longer use them in our developing process. However, we may still encounter them inside some of the older themes, so it is important to recognize them and know what they do.

The only tag that Shopify has deprecated is the include tag, which works similarly to the render tag, which we have previously covered:

{% include "snippet-name" %}

The only key difference between the two is that when rendering a snippet using the include tag, the code inside our snippet can automatically access and modify the variables within its parent template. This not only creates a lot of performance issues but also makes our code a lot harder to maintain, which is why Shopify replaced it with the render tag.
