There is not a lot that you can do, but to use console.log statements.

Maybe this page provides you a helpful snippet to log variables for debugging purposes more easily:

Hi Lester,

You can not debug the Liquid templet. However you can use browser devloper console to check the values and your conditions.

There is no known way to debug a liquid template, since it is client side scripting.

Although you can use browser developer tool as suggested.

I've found the easiest ways are:

For an attribute/property - to insert the values into the DOM:

<p>{{object.attribute}}</p>

or if you'd rather nobody saw your testing:

<p style="display: none;">{{object.attribute}}</p>

For a condition, alert or log something

{% if youLikeBananas == true %} alert("They're good and good for you.") {% endif %}

again, if you'd rather nobody saw it

{% if youLikeBananasAndDontWantAnybodyToKnow == true %} console.log("You're no fun :( ") {% endif %}

What I'd really like is to know how to inspect an entire object when you're not certain of its available attributes; for example...

{{entity['fruit basket']}} {$ comment %} show me all of it's goodness {$ endcomment $}

Thanks.

But how do I check it from the browser? console.log() doesn't really help.
