Overview

Copyright 2007 by Domizio Demichelis This library is free software. It may be used, redistributed and/or modified under the same terms as Ruby itself

This extension is used in order to expose the object of the implementing class to liquid as it were a Drop. It also limits the liquid-callable methods of the instance to the allowed method passed with the liquid_methods call Example:

class SomeClass

liquid_methods :an_allowed_method

def an_allowed_method
  'this comes from an allowed method'
end
def unallowed_method
  'this will never be an output'
end

end

if you want to extend the drop to other methods you can defines more methods in the class <YourClass>::LiquidDropClass

class SomeClass::LiquidDropClass
  def another_allowed_method
    'and this from another allowed method'
  end
end

end

usage: template: {something{something.an_allowed_method}{something{something.unallowed_method} {something{something.another_allowed_method}

output: ‘this comes from an allowed method and this from another allowed method’

You can also chain associations, by adding the liquid_method call in the association models.
