In shopify I am using liquid templating to get blog posts which are related to products by their tags, like so:
<ul>
{% for article in blogs.blog.articles %}
{% if article.tags contains product.handle %}
<li><a href="{{ article.url }}"><p>{{ article.title }}</p></a></li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
However, if there are no related posts, I would like to display a message such as "No related posts!"
My question is how would I do that? I have contemplated trying to get the articles into an array and testing if it is empty, but I am having difficulty finding out how this is done.
Thanks!
Try something like this:
{% assign related_posts = "" %}
{% for article in blogs.blog.articles %}
{% if article.tags contains product.handle %}
{% capture post %}
<li><a href="{{ article.url }}"><p>{{ article.title }}</p></a></li>
{% endcapture %}
{% assign related_posts = related_posts | append:post %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if related_posts.size > 0 %}
<ul> {{ related_posts }} </ul>
{% else %}
No related posts!
{% endif %}
<ul>
{% for article in blogs.blog.articles %}
{% if article.tags contains product.handle %}
<li><a href="{{ article.url }}"><p>{{ article.title }}</p></a></li>
{% else %}
<li>No related blog posts!</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
