Description
Is there a way to list all of the variables available?
Variables may be the wrong word but it should be clarified below.
I am a customer of Zendesk and they use Liquid for some of their formatting.
But, they are not the greatest at keeping up with the documentation of the new variables they have created. They call them placeholders.
https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203662156-Zendesk-Support-placeholders-reference
Use Case: As a user, I would like the ability to use Liquid to output all of the available variables. In my case something like {{listvariables}} would output the following:
user.organization.name
user.organization.is_shared
user.organization.is_shared_comments
user.organization.details
user.organization.notes
user.organization.tags
ticket.comments
ticket.public_comments
ticket.latest_comment
ticket.latest_public_comment placeholders.
ticket.public_comments
ticket.latest_comment
ticket.latest_public_comment
comment.author.name
comment.created_at
comment.created_at_with_time
comment.is_public
comment.value
comment.value_rich
comment.id
comment.attachments
attachment.filename
attachment.url
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, entry points, or tests. Start by reviewing Liquid's variable-resolution behavior and the linked Zendesk placeholder reference, then seek maintainer guidance on scope; completion would require an agreed way to enumerate available variables and corresponding tests or documentation.
