Example Jekyll group_by filter #jekyllrb

jekyll-group_by-example.liquid

{% comment %}
items is a collection, though I think it coule be any content type
{% endcomment %}

{% comment %} Create the group. {% endcomment %}
{% assign items_grouped = site.items | group_by: 'category' | sort: 'name' | reverse %}
{% comment %} 
  The above returns, for example, which is why we sort by 'name'
  {"name"=>"category1_value", "items"=>[#, #, #, #, #]}{"name"=>"category2_value", "items"=>[#, #, #, #]}
{% endcomment %}
{% comment %} Loop through the groups {% endcomment %}
{% for group in items_grouped %}
  {% comment %} Create the items within the groups, now sorting by the criteria you want them sorted {% endcomment %}
  {% assign items = item.items | sort: 'date' | reverse %}
  {% comment %} Loop through the items {% endcomment %}
  {% for item in items  %}
    {{ item.title }}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

<p>{{ category_posts.name }}</p>
is
["category_name"] .

How to get name without [" and "] ? Is there .first somewhere?

{{ category_posts.name | remove: '["' | remove: '"]' }} is not fair play.

Is this group_by: array problem solved?

It still occurred when {{ site.posts | group_by: categories }}. Not category.

Anyone know this? please help

It's better to do itemObj.name | remove: '[' | remove: ']' | remove: '"' | trim otherwise it fails with posts with no (blank) categories

But even with Jekyll 4.3.3 (as of 2024-06-21) it's still an issue :(
