Azure Liquid Preview

Using the Live Preview console application, we can set a file watcher that automatically renders the output as any changes occur to the source data or Liquid template.

Install the tool using Nuget and register as a global dotnet tool.

dotnet tool install -g AzureLiquid.Preview

To update to a newer version, use:

dotnet tool update -g AzureLiquid.Preview

The process is started from the terminal using a set of arguments.

Argument Description
--help Shows help description within the console
--watch Switch parameter to enable file watcher and produce output on file update
--template Relative path to the .liquid template source file
--content Relative path to the XML or JSON data source file
--output Relative path to the output result file

For example:

liquidpreview --watch --content ./albums.xml --template ./albums.liquid --output ./albums.json

I have simply arranged the three files in VSCode and get preview on the right hand side whenever the template or XML source is changed.

I then use the terminal to start the watcher. The albums.json file is generated automatically and kept up to date whenever the source data or liquid template is changed.
