Silverfin Developer Community Newsletter

Hello, Technology Enthusiasts!

As summer winds down and the days start to shrink, we’ve got plenty to keep things bright on the Developer Community side.

In this August edition, we’re spotlighting a brand-new addition to our code conventions: practical guidance on code architecture. Think clearer structure, easier debugging, and Liquid logic you can follow at a glance.

Let’s dive in 👇

🧱 Code Structure: write it once, keep it clean

The bigger your templates grow, the more a bit of structure pays off. Our new Code Structure guide shows you how to keep your Liquid logic traceable, instead of scattered three shared parts deep.

Good to know:

How to organise export files so logic stays easy to follow
How to expose reusable functions through shared parts, instead of copy-pasting the same logic everywhere
When (and how) to centralise recurring code in shared parts, so one fix updates every template that uses it

🔄 Dataflow: fewer loops, faster templates

Circular references and long dependency chains are some of the trickiest things to debug in Liquid - and also some of the most avoidable, once you know the patterns to watch for. Our new Dataflow guide walks through exactly that.

Good to know:

The right way to store data coming in from integrations
Common template patterns worth reusing (and the ones to avoid)
How to sidestep circular reference errors and keep dependency chains short, for templates that render fast and stay easy to audit

Dive into the full guide here

Two guides, one goal: turning the power of the Silverfin templating language into templates you can actually call bulletproof 💪
