Dropkiq for Chrome

**EDIT** The Dropkiq for Chrome keyboard extension has been updated to be {Command + Shift + I} (or Control + Shift + I for PC)

Dropkiq for Chrome is a Google Chrome extension for Shopify experts who would like a tool to help them write Liquid (https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) while doing Shopify development. Dropkiq for Chrome can help in several ways:

* Reduce mistakes by using copy / paste rather than free typing
* Use text autocompletion when you can't remember the name of an object's attributes
* Work faster with live previews of your Liquid's output (with test data)
* Get the hint from the Shopify documentation without leaving your current web page
* Previews works with filters to show what the filter will do to the output
* Use Dropkiq with keyboard shortcuts so you never have to leave your keyboard

Here is an example of how you would use Dropkiq in your normal workflow.

1. You're working on a custom theme in Shopify's website
2. Type your normal text, such as "Check out my awesome product: "
3. When you get to the part where you need to enter liquid, use the keyboard shortcut "Command + i"
4. Use the Dropkiq for Chrome plugin to write out product.title
5. Press enter to copy the expression to the clipboard
6. Paste back into Shopify's editor

**Warning: In the first version of Dropkiq for Chrome, variables are static. For example, if you have the following code:


{% assign other_product = all_products['wayfarer-shades'] %}

Dropkiq for Chrome is not yet smart enough to know there is a "other_product" variable. As a work around, you could write your Liquid using the "product" variable, and then change the final Liquid by renaming "product" to "other_product".

Dropkiq for Chrome was built on Dropkiq Engine technology. Dropkiq can help your customers write Liquid in your application. Visit https://www.dropkiq.com/ to learn more.
