How can I access liquid properties by variable in collections?

Technical Q&A
1

Is there a way to access a property by variable like so (assuming I had collections named orange apple and peach)?

{% assign fruits = "orange,apple,peach" | split: ',' %}

{% for fruit in fruits %}
  {% for product in collections[fruit] %}

    {{ product.title }}
  {% endfor %}

{% endfor %}

And beyond that can you even access a specific collection by title like that?

You can use the handle of the collection, ex: https://i.imgur.com/TXybHzk.png
Then you just get it out with collections, ex: collections[‘accessories’]
Hope it helps!

Thanks! I didn’t know about handles. Also yes, it did turn out that using a variable as the property name does work if the variable is assigned to the handle like

{% for product in collections[fruit].products %}

etc
