Liquid Template Variables - link
From Spiffy Stores Knowledge Base
The liquid template variable link has the following attributes:
Contents
link.id
Returns the unique internal number of the link.
This is normally only for internal usage.
link.title
Returns the title of this link.
link.url
The is the link's relative URL address.
link.active
This returns true or false if this link matches the current page. This is useful for testing when to apply an 'active' class style to a menu link.
The link can also be tested within nested URLs. If a product page is collection aware, then it will use a compound URL such as
/collections/some-collection/products/some-product
In this case both the links /collections/some-collection and /products/some-product will be flagged as active.
All tag filters will be removed, so the unfiltered collection link will always be flagged as active.
If you are on an article page, the corresponding blog link will be marked as active.
This is an example of how link.active can be used.
{% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %}
<li>
<a href="{{ link.url }}"{% if link.active %} class="active"{% endif %}>{{ link.title }}</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
link.object
Returns the object that the link points to, for example, a collection, a product, and so on.
This could be used to create an overview for related collections.
{% for link in linklists.gift-ideas.links %}
<div>
{{ link.object.products.first.image | product_image | link_to: link.object.url }} <br />
{{ link.title }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
