Setting globals dynamically after opts argument removed from renderFile()

Hi

I juste upgraded my app from LiquidJS 9.25.1 to the latest 9.28.6

I am facing bugs and just find that the optsparameter of renderFile has been removed in version 9.26.0 :

public async renderFile (file: string, ctx?: object, opts?: LiquidOptions) {
     const templates = await this.parseFile(file, opts)
     return this.render(templates, ctx, opts)
}

My app was using this parameter to pass a customized globals setting to the rendered file (depending on the file, this is why I don’t set the globals setting while creating the engine).

Is there another way to do this without re-creating an engine before each call to renderFile ?

P.S. as stated in #395 this should have been flagged as a breaking change in 9.26.0

This is fortuitous because I was looking to do something like this as well. It seems to work for me. Thanks!

Hey @PlanetIrata, I think it makes sense to provide render specific options when calling .render(), try v9.29.0 with following:

const globals = {}  // the globals you need to set for this render call
engine.render(<file>, {}, {globals})

Feel free to post back if there’s more problems on this, or that doesn’t work for you. Please see this doc for details: https://liquidjs.com/api/classes/liquid_.liquid.html#renderFile

Hi @harttle

Seems to work perfectly with 9.29.0

Thanks!
