However, it is impossible for the Shopify store owners to initialize arrays just only by <strong>Liquid<\/strong>. Instead of using Liquid, they should split filter. By breaking a string, the web developers can have arrays of substrings. As a delimiter, the substring is useful for the store owners to divide a string into an array. Furthermore, with the array filters, the output can be different parts of an array.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"guide-to-divide-string-into-array\">The way to divide string into array<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#step-1\">Step 1: Input<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#step-2\">Step 2: Output<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"step-1\">Step 1: Input<\/h4>\n<p>At the first step, it is necessary for the Shopify store owners to log in their Shopify account.<br \/>\nIn the admin dashboard, they find these lines {% assign beatles %} in the theme. In this example, we have the title <code class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">\"John, Paul, George, Ringo\"<\/code><br \/>\nTo continue, they can enter those following input.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Input<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<pre class=\"highlight\"><code>{% assign beatles = \"John, Paul, George, Ringo\" | split: \", \" %}\n\n{% for the member in beatles %}\n  {{ member }}\n{% endfor %}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4 id=\"step-2\">Step 2: Output<\/h4>\n<p>The result of that input, the string will be split into multiple lines like that :<br \/>\n<strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\">\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<pre class=\"highlight\"><code>  John\n\n  Paul\n\n  George\n\n  Ringo\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Dividing strings into arrays in Shopify using Liquid\u2019s split filter is a powerful technique for data management. This simple process transforms comma-separated strings into versatile arrays, enabling more flexible data manipulation and display. By mastering this method, you can significantly enhance your Shopify store\u2019s functionality and user experience.
