Arrays
Last edit: Jul 14, 2023
Arrays are used to store multiple values for the same property.
Defining
You can use arrays by adding a property with type set to array, for example:
- name: hobbies
type: array
Sending arrays to server
Consider a page app/views/pages/hobbies-test.liquid with the following content:
my hobbies: {{ context.params.hobbies }}
If you navigate to /hobbies-test?hobbies=music&hobbies=travelling you will learn that only the last element is displayed - travelling. To send an array of values, you need to add [] to the input name. Hence /hobbies-test?hobbies[]=music&hobbies[]=travelling displays the expected result: ["music","travelling"]
Tip
If you use Forms, you do not need to remember to add [] to the input name - we automatically detect if the property is defined as an array and it is already part of fields.properties.
