Virtual Layout

If not using any custom layout or collection, the default virtual layout will output as a form select element:

{% assign destinationCountryCode = shoppingCartData.destinationCountry.code %}
{% if this.items.size > 0 %}
<div class="cms_fake_select">
    <select data-cms_cart_countries="">
        <option value="">Please select</option>
    {% for item in this.items %}
        <option value="{{item.code}}" {% if  destinationCountryCode == item.code %} selected="true" {% endif %}>{{item.displayName}}</option>
    {% endfor %}
    </select>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}

Rendering the form element:

Accessing the Data

JSON Output

You can output the full JSON for your component data by referencing the root Liquid object {{this}} in your module’s layouts, or directly on your page, if using the collectionVariable parameter in your component tag.

For example:

{% component type: ... collectionVariable: "myData" %}

You can then render the JSON like so:

{{myData}}

For more details on using this approach, see Part 2 of the free ‘Learning Liquid Course’.

Rendering Property Values

This data is also accessible directly on the Page or Template via a Liquid Collection by adding collectionVariable to the Component.

An example using collectionVariable with value "countryCollection":

{% component type: "countries", collectionVariable: "countryCollection" %}

Accessing a specific item within the collection. In this case the third item (zero based index), which in our example would render the value ALGERIA

{{countryCollection.items[2]['DisplayName']}}
