Liquid filters

Filters change the output of a Liquid object. They are used within an object and are separated by a pipe character.

Filters let you change the way that a Liquid object is displayed. In Current, you'll find the currency, number, and localedate filters used a lot in our document layouts.

Filters are placed within an object after a pipe character( | ), with optional data supplied after a colon.

Common filters

localedatetime

timezone

When using 'now' to return the date and time now, Current RMS returns the UTC time. Use timezone to change the date and time to a particular region.
