In the 11th article of the #4weeksOfShopifydev challenge, I'll be talking about how to use JSON data in Shopify liquid code.

In Shopify Liquid template language, they don't support JSON or objects (not product object), I have a tip  use it in Liquid.

• First, we need to install Metafields Guru app to create metafields
• Create new metafield under Shop settings

Select JSON string as type and type data as key

• Use this JSON sample data

[
  {
    "firstName": "Ilias",
    "lastName": "Haddad",
    "email": "contact@iliashaddad.com"
  }
]

• To consume this JSON data in Liquid, you can use this code snippet to render this JSON data

{% assign users = shop.metafields.global %}
{% for user in users.data  %}
{{ user.firstName}}  {{ user.lastName}}  {{ user.email}}
{% endfor %}

In this sinppet, we assign the global namespace metafield to users variable

{% assign users = shop.metafields.global %}

And we loop over the array of object in JSON by accessing the data key metafield
