`slice` Filter

Slices a string by an offset and length.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
`offset`	Yes	`integer` Starting index within the string to slice. (The first character is at position `0`.) Pass a negative value to start at the end of the string. (The last character is at position `-1`.)
`length`	No	`integer` Length of string to slice. If no value is provided, this defaults to `1`.

The slice filter allows you to slice a substring out of a string by an offset index and length.

Example: slicing from the beginning of a string

      {{ 'jello' | slice: 0 }}
      {{ 'jello' | slice: 1 }}
      {{ 'jello' | slice: 1, 3 }}

Output

      j
      e
      ell

When passing a negative value for the offset index, the slice filter will start at the last character and count backwards.

Example: slicing from the end of a string

      {{ 'jello' | slice: -1 }}
      {{ 'jello' | slice: -2, 2 }}
      {{ 'jello' | slice: -4, 3 }}

Output

      o
      lo
      ell
