Every time you need to limit a loop statement or change the output of an object value, you can rely on Liquid Filters.

Limit filter

The following example is the same example found in the Shopify/Liquid Logic Syntax page‍ plus the limit filter:

<ul class="top_categories">
{% for categories in roots_categories | limit: 5 %}
  <li class="category_item">
    <a href="{{ category.url }}" class="category_link">{{ category.name }}</a>
  </li>
{% endif %}
</ul>

Notice that we added the limit filter on the For Statement syntax:

{% for categories in roots_categories | limit: 5 %}

Now, the category list has 5 maximum items. It can be smaller but it cannot display more than 5 items.

Size filter

The size filter will output the size of the object value if it's a string or the length of a list:

{% question.name | size %}

The above example would output the size of the question name.

{% if category.questions.size > 10 %}
  <p>There are more than 10 questions in this category!</p>
{% else %}
  <p>There are 10 or less questions in this category.</p>
{% endif %}

Notice that the size filter can be use as an object attribute on a logical statement:

{% if category.questions.size > 10 %}{% endif %}

Downcase filter

The downcase filter will convert the string to downcase:

{{ "Getting Started" | downcase }}

The above example would output:

getting started
