Array Filters
These filters are used to manipulate arrays in Liquid templates. They allow you to combine, filter, transform, and extract data from arrays, making it easier to work with collections of items. Use these filters to clean up arrays, join or split values, find specific elements, and modify image URLs within arrays.
compact

{% assign my_bugs = "ants, bees, ," | split: ", " | compact %}

ants, beesconcat

Input
{% assign my_bugs = "ants, bees, spiders" | split: ", " %}
{% assign my_other_bugs = "wasps" | split: ", " %}
{% assign all_bugs = my_bugs | concat: my_other_bugs %}
