| where | Liquid filter that selects from arrays. | 4.0.2 |
Creates an array including only the objects with a given property value, or any [truthy]({{ "/basics/truthy-and-falsy/#truthy" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) value by default.
In this example, assume you have a list of products and you want to show your kitchen products separately. Using where, you can create an array containing only the products that have a "type" of "kitchen".
Input
```liquid {%- raw -%} All products: {% for product in products %} - {{ product.title }} {% endfor %}{% assign kitchen_products = products | where: "type", "kitchen" %}
Kitchen products: {% for product in kitchen_products %}
- {{ product.title }} {% endfor %} {% endraw %}
<p class="code-label">Output</p>
```text
All products:
- Vacuum
- Spatula
- Television
- Garlic press
Kitchen products:
- Spatula
- Garlic press
Say instead you have a list of products and you only want to show those that are available to buy. You can where with a property name but no target value to include all products with a [truthy]({{ "/basics/truthy-and-falsy/#truthy" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) "available" value.
Input
```liquid {%- raw -%} All products: {% for product in products %} - {{ product.title }} {% endfor %}{% assign available_products = products | where: "available" %}
Available products: {% for product in available_products %}
- {{ product.title }} {% endfor %} {% endraw %}
<p class="code-label">Output</p>
```text
All products:
- Coffee mug
- Limited edition sneakers
- Boring sneakers
Available products:
- Coffee mug
- Boring sneakers
The where filter can also be used to find a single object in an array when combined with the first filter. For example, say you want to show off the shirt in your new fall collection.
Input
```liquid {%- raw -%} {% assign new_shirt = products | where: "type", "shirt" | first %}Featured product: {{ new_shirt.title }} {% endraw %}
<p class="code-label">Output</p>
```text
Featured product: Hawaiian print sweater vest
