Organise scripts in theme.liquid with Snippets

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A user wanted to organize their theme.liquid file by moving four scripts into separate snippets for better code organization.

Steps taken:

  • Created new snippet files containing individual script tags
  • Attempted to reference these snippets in theme.liquid before the closing tag using both include and render methods

Resolution:

  • The render method successfully worked
  • The initial issue was caused by a conflict with another script, not the snippet implementation itself

This approach allows for cleaner theme.liquid structure while maintaining script functionality.

Hi there,

I have 4 scripts added to my theme.liquid, before the tag. I’d like to move each script in separate Snippets so the theme.liquid file will be tidier.

What I have done:

  1. copy-pasted the in a new snippet file
  2. Added {%- include ‘my-script’ -%} in theme.liquid, before the tag.

However, both include or render don’t work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Solved.

Render works. The issue was a conflict with another script.
