| page | Puts - log from Liquid to the terminal | 2011-07-22 09:14 | false | false |
Puts is a Liquid block which outputs its contents to your terminal with Ruby's puts command. This really handy when you're working on a Liquid tag or a Jekyll plugin and you want to to be able to peek behind the curtain at what Liquid sees.
Syntax
{% raw %} {% puts %}Optional Text: {{ some_liquid_variable }}{% endputs %} {% endraw %}
This just outputs the contents of the block to the terminal. Note: Markdown, Textile and other converters run after liquid, so you'll see raw templating markup, not processed html.
Example 1
{% raw %} {% for post in site.posts %} {% puts %}Title: {{ post.title }}{% endputs %} {% endfor %} {% endraw %}
Output:
{% raw %}
{% puts %} Title: Hello World, I just switched to Octopress
{% puts %} Title: Zombie Ninjas Attack: A survivor's retrospective
...
{% endraw %}
Example 2 - Longer content
If a line of output is wider than 80 characters it gets output in a puts block for easier marking.
{% raw %} {% for post in site.posts %} {% puts %} Title: {{ post.title }} Content: {{ post.content }} {% endputs %} {% endfor %} {% endraw %}
Output
{% raw %}
{% puts %}
Title: Zombie Ninjas Attack: A survivor's retrospective
Content: Spoiler: You don't want to survive this. So there I was, standing in line
for a movie. I could hear hear some car alarms going off in the distance, but that

{% endputs %}
{% endraw %}
