{% else %}
    "{{ param }}": [

            "status": 404,
            "code": "not-found",
            "title": "Menu Not Found",
            "detail": "Menu `{{ param }}` was not found"
        }
    ]{%- if forloop.last == false %},{% endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
}
{% else %}
  {% assign menuHandles = linklists | map: 'handle' %}
  ["{{ menuHandles | join: '","'}}"]
{% endif %}

Added hash for quickly getting index by handle (e.g., menus[menusHash['main-menu']]).

Great job, thanks!

Now this page acts more like a real API. Once you create a page with this layout (e.g., example.com/pages/menus):

• Hitting it directly will give you an array of available handles: example.com/pages/menus
• Supplying a handle name will return that linklist: example.com/pages/menus/handle
• Supplying multiple handles separated by '+' will give you an array of linklists requested: example.com/pages/menus/handle1+handle2

This is so helpful, thanks!

Thanks!

This is awesome!
Thank you very much

@arthurcruzd Glad it’s helpful! I’m not keeping this up to date with any Shopify Liquid changes so you may need to test it out for yourself. Let me know how you use it!
