MissingRenderPartialArguments

Severity: error | Type: LiquidHtml | Aliases: MissingRenderPartialParams

This check ensures that all required @param arguments declared in a partial's {% doc %} tag are provided at the call site. It helps you catch missing required arguments at development time rather than at runtime.

A parameter is considered required when it is declared without square brackets around its name in the {% doc %} tag (e.g. @param {string} name is required, @param {string} [name] is optional).

This check only runs when the target partial has a {% doc %} tag. For partials without a {% doc %} tag, see MetadataParamsCheck.

Examples

✗ Incorrect Code Example (Avoid using this):


{% comment %}app/views/partials/user/card.liquid{% endcomment %}
{% doc %}
  @param {string} name - The user's display name
  @param {string} [avatar_url] - Optional avatar URL
{% enddoc %}
<div class="card">
  <h2>{{ name }}</h2>
</div>


{% comment %}Calling site — required 'name' argument is missing{% endcomment %}
{% render 'user/card', avatar_url: user.avatar %}

✓ Correct Code Example (Use this instead):


{% render 'user/card', name: user.name, avatar_url: user.avatar %}
{% render 'user/card', name: user.name %}

Configuration

The default configuration for this check:

MissingRenderPartialArguments:
  enabled: true
  severity: error

Disabling This Check

Disabling this check is not recommended. If a parameter is truly optional, mark it with square brackets in the {% doc %} tag: @param {string} [param_name].
