Introduction

The action liquid tag allows LocomotiveCMS developers to run secure javascript code on the server side.

What's the Javascript engine powering Actions?

No Google V8, no JavaScriptCore, no SpiderMonkey. Instead, we use Duktape, a lightweight and portable engine with Ruby bindings.

Here is a list of its capabilities:

read and write Liquid variables of the current context
read and write session variables
built-in functions to read/create/update content entries
built-in functions to send emails

Example:

Hello world
{% assign string = 'Hello' %}

{% action "send an email to each " %}
  var string = getProp("string");
  string += ' world!';
  setProp("string", string);
{% endaction %}

<p>{{string}}</p>
