Encourage use of liquid tag for consecutive statements (LiquidTag)

Recommends using {% liquid ... %} if 4 or more consecutive liquid tags ({% ... %}) are found.

Check Details

This check is aimed at eliminating repetitive tag markers ({% and %}) in theme files.

👎 Example of incorrect code for this check:

{% if collection.image.size != 0 %}
{%   assign collection_image = collection.image %}
{% elsif collection.products.first.size != 0 and collection.products.first.media != empty %}
{%   assign collection_image = collection.products.first.featured_media.preview_image %}
{% else %}
{%   assign collection_image = nil %}
{% endif %}

👍 Example of correct code for this check:

{%- liquid
  if collection.image.size != 0
    assign collection_image = collection.image
  elsif collection.products.first.size != 0 and collection.products.first.media != empty
    assign collection_image = collection.products.first.featured_media.preview_image
  else
    assign collection_image = nil
  endif
-%}

Check Options

The default configuration for this check is the following:

LiquidTag:
  enabled: true
  min_consecutive_statements: 5

min_consecutive_statements

The min_consecutive_statements option (Default: 5) determines the maximum (inclusive) number of consecutive statements before the check recommends a refactor.

When Not To Use It

It's safe to disable this rule.

Version

This check has been introduced in Theme Check 0.1.0.
