How to show product object? - shopify

In Shopify if we print title of product then we can use like :
{{ product.title }}
If we want to show whole object that includes whole data of product how we can do this? Thanks in advance.

You can use the JSON filter .
If you like to output it directly on the frontend you use it like so: {{ product | json }}
But its much better to log it as a javascript object like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log({{ product | json }});
</script>

why do js liquid don't render product variable?

I have, in product-template.liquid
<script src="{{ 'variant.js' | asset_url }}" defer="defer"></script>
And variant.js.liquid is this
alert('{{product.title}}');
But the render of variant.js is
alert('')
Do I need anymore for rendering?
You cannot include a script like that and expect that to be interpreted server side.
Or you do as suggested by Jahanzaib Muneer or you can do like this
<script>
{% render 'variant.js.liquid' %}
</script>
Unfortunately, js files are not supposed to run liquid and "js.liquid" files do not work.
It give us error:
MIME type ('application/x-liquid') is not executable
If you really want to get the liquid variable value in JS then you can use the Shopify Global JS variable.
As per your example:
Add this to your product template:
<script>
Shopify.product_title = '{{ product.title }}';
</script>
In your JS file use this:
console.log(Shopify.product_title);
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

Displaying a Shopify meta dimension with value and unit

I have a meta field that is of type "Dimension"
When I display the field on my product page it shows:
{"value":402.0,"unit":"mm"}
I want it to display as 402mm so I tried to do something like the following:
{{ product.metafields.my_fields.box_height | dimension_with_unit }}
But this doesn't work, and I cannot find anywhere how to do this.
You must use .value on the end:
{{ product.metafields.my_fields.box_height.value }}
This will then display as 402mm

How to iterate over the namespaces in the metafields using shopify liquid

In the "product.liquid" template, I want to expose all the metafields to my javascript code. Right now I have a namespace called "mystuff", so I did this...
// Copy all the METAFIELDS into the meta object
let meta = {
global: {{ product.metafields.global | json }},
mystuff: {{ product.metafields.mystuff | json }}
};
and this works. However, it requires me to know in advance all the namespaces and list them one per line. Can I get the list of namespaces programmatically, like this?
let meta = {
{% for ns in product.metafields.namespaces %}
{{ ns.name }} : {{ ns | json }},
{% endfor %}
};
I tried, but this does not work. Is there a way to do it?
Step back one level and iterate just Metafields, and you might be able to see the ones you are allowed to see. I believe as App developers we can finally hide our own Metafield namespaces from prying eyes, so YMMV here.
Note that your code trying to turn this result into JSON is not recommended either. Instead, get the namespace Metafields, iterate them, and each will have a type, key and value. You get JSON values too in some fields.

Calling Variable Tags in Product Description

I created a Variable Tag (added it to my theme files) and I'd like to call it from the Product Description. When I call the tag from another liquid file it works... but when I try to call it from the Product Editor it doesn't work.
How can I call a Variable Tag from the Product/WYSIWYG Editor? Do Variable Tags only work in liquid files?
What I added to the theme file: {% assign favorite_food = 'apples' %}
What I'm trying to use in the Product Description: My favorite food is {{ favorite_food }}.
Yes its possible but little differently.
Change your product description code like this
{{ product.description | replace: '[favorite_food]', 'apples' }}
Now you can use use the shortcode [favorite_food] anywhere in your product description and it will return the value 'apples'.
Just like that you can use product tags or assigned variables with replace string filter.
{{ product.description | replace: '[price]', product.price }}
Hope this helps

Shopify - Order Products By Custom Field

we have a simple Shopify store using the free "Meta Fields Editor" to add a simple custom field integer value to each of the products. Some products will have a meta value of 3, others 2 or 1. Many will have no meta value at all. We would like to be able to display the products in search results, by the meta field value entered for each product in descending order (weighted ordering). However, despite the ability to set meta values and display them in search results and collections pages, Shopify does not make it easy to Order or Sort products by a custom meta field. In the search results page I am able to call the custom meta value using
{{item.metafields.important.important}}
So far I have tried to order the products using this method
{% assign products = collection.products | sort:
'item.metafields.important.important' %}
{% for product in products %}
{{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
But this results in null results.
Any insight anyone can give me in how to display products in order of a custom field would be much appreciated!
After attempting to find a Liquid solution I was finally able to solve this problem using custom metafields and jQuery. In the Shopify collection template, I added a data attribute to be included with each product like so:
<div id="product_list">
<div data-imp="{{product.metafields.important.important}}" class="product_block" /> PRODUCT #1 </div>
<div data-imp="{{product.metafields.important.important}}" class="product_block" /> PRODUCT #2 </div>
</div>
Then I used a simple jQuery function to sort the nodes by data attribute in descending order
var $wrapper = $('#product_list');
$wrapper.find('.product_block').sort(function (a, b) {
return +b.dataset.imp - +a.dataset.imp;
})
.appendTo( $wrapper );
}
Hope this helps somebody!
Nope. Doesn't work. Only fixed filters affect the sorting order. You can manually sort the products from the collection page in admin panel.
