Templates
Templates control the look and feel of you store's content. Let's say a customer views one of your shop's products, Shopify will use the product.liquid template to show render the product page. If a customer views your shop's blog, Shopify will use blog.liquidto render the blog page.
Templates always end in the .liquid extension
Include Tag & Snippets
The include tag let's you include snippets in your layout. Snippets are great if you use the same html over and over on certain templates. The syntax is simple...
{% include 'snippet-name' %}
When you include a snippet it will have access to the currently assigned variables within the parent template. The optional with clause lets you specify a value which is bound to the snippet's name within the snippet's context:
{% include 'foo' with 'bar' %}Here is an example: Pretend we have a snippet called color.liquid and it contains this..
color: '{{ color }}'
shape: '{{ shape }}'
Our theme.liquid file looks like this...
{% assign shape = 'circle' %}
{% include 'color' %}
{% include 'color' with 'red' %}
{% include 'color' with 'blue' %}
{% assign shape = 'square' %}
{% include 'color' with 'red' %}
color: '' shape: 'circle' color: 'red' shape: 'circle' color: 'blue' shape: 'circle' color: 'red' shape: 'square'
