- -Liquid is a templating language with limited capabilities: -- No HTTP client -- No crypto/hashing libraries -- No state management -- No complex algorithms - -Therefore, we split responsibilities: -- **Ruby backend**: All heavy lifting (HTTP, hashing, assignment, state) -- **Liquid layer**: Template integration (filters, tags, drops) - -### Why Dependency on Ruby SDK? - -Instead of reimplementing all ABsmartly logic in the Liquid layer, we depend on the Ruby SDK: -- **Code reuse**: Ruby SDK already implements all algorithms -- **Test parity**: Ruby SDK passes all 33 test scenarios -- **Maintenance**: Bug fixes in Ruby SDK automatically benefit Liquid SDK -- **Consistency**: Identical behavior across Ruby and Liquid - -### Why Server-Side Rendering Focus? - -Shopify themes run server-side (Liquid is server-rendered): -- Pre-fetch context data on server -- Embed data in HTML -- Client-side SDK (optional) for post-load tracking - -This approach: -- **Faster**: No client-side HTTP calls blocking render -- **SEO-friendly**: Content rendered server-side -- **Progressive**: Works without JavaScript - -## Testing Strategy - -### Unit Tests (RSpec) - -Test Liquid filters, tags, and drops in isolation: - -```ruby -RSpec.describe ABSmartly::Liquid::Filters do - it 'returns treatment variant' do - template = Liquid::Template.parse("{{ 'exp_test' | absmartly_treatment }}") - output = template.render('absmartly' => drop) - expect(output).to match(/^[0-9]+$/) - end -end -``` - -### Integration Tests (Cross-SDK) - -Test via HTTP wrapper service using standard test scenarios: - -```bash -curl -X POST http://localhost:4570/context \ - -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ - -d '{"units":{"session_id":"test123"},"data":{...}}' - -# Returns: {"result":{"contextId":"ctx-123","ready":true},"events":[...]} -``` - -### Shopify Theme Tests (Manual) - -Test in real Shopify theme development environment: -1.
