Liquid
Required plugin: Liquid (bundled)
RubyMine supports the Liquid template language and includes the following capabilities:
Syntax and error highlighting
Auto-closing of the curly brace delimiters
Auto-completion for Liquid tags (including Shopify and Jekyll tags) and filters
Commenting/uncommenting lines and blocks of code with Ctrl0/ / CtrlShift0/
Live templates (code snippets)
Before working with the Liquid template language in RubyMine, make sure that the Liquid plugin is installed and enabled.
RubyMine supports Liquid syntax for the following file types:
*.liquid files (processed as HTML files with Liquid code)
*.html.liquid, *.md.liquid, *.css.liquid, and so on
If you want your .html or and .md files to be processed as Liquid files, you can configure file type associations. Note that file type associations apply to all projects in your IDE.
Open an HTML file, press CtrlShift0A, and type Associate with File Type.
In the Register New File Type Association window that opens, select Liquid template.
The file that was open in the editor will be now processed as a Liquid file.
Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and select Editor | File Types.
From the Recognized File Types list, select Liquid template.
In the File name patterns section, enter a pattern, for example
*.html.If the pattern that you entered matches an existing pattern (for example,
*.htmlmatches the HTML file type), you will be prompted to confirm the reassignment.
To create a new Liquid file in RubyMine, follow the steps below:
Open the Project view Alt01 and select the desired directory.
From the main menu, select File | New| Liquid File. As an alternative, press AltInsert and select Liquid File in the New list.
