Silverfin Developer Community Newsletter

Hello, Technology Enthusiasts!

Spring is in the air and so are a few fresh features!

Here’s what’s blooming this April 🌼👇

🔣 Input Validation with percentages

Input validation just got more versatile! You can now apply validations to inputs defined `as:percentage` to ensure users enter percentages within your specified range. This leverages the same validation mechanisms already available for numeric inputs.

Good to know:

You can enforce min and max percentages.
Use min_exclusive and max_exclusive for stricter checks.
Values are stored as decimals, but displayed in the UI as percentages.
Users get instant feedback if they enter a value outside the allowed range, keeping your template reconciled correctly.

🧪 New Liquid test attributes

Two attributes were added to enhance how you test inputs in Liquid:

_updated_at: The timestamp of the last update (ISO 8601 format)
_value: The actual value of the input (required when _update_at is present)

This allows for better tracking of when input data was last modified and testing updated values independently. With these attributes you can simulate updates in your templates more reliably and integrate time-based logic in your testing flow.

🏢 New firm drop

We’ve added a new data drop in our Liquid templates that lets you print the name of the firm your template is located in!

Simply use:

{ { firm.name } }

… and voilà!
