• Support for ||, ||= and +=

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

Next add it to your gems list in Jekyll's _config.yml

Usage

Use the assign tag like normal.

{% assign var1 = 'awesome' %}     //=> 'awesome'
{% assign var2 = var1 | upcase %} //=> 'AWESOME'

Conditionally assign variables.

{% assign linkpost = true if post.external-url %}
{% assign comments = true unless post.comments == false %}
{% assign url (post ? post.url : page.url) %}

Use fancy operators in assignment.

{% assign author = post.author || page.author || site.author %}
