# `render`

Renders a snippet by the given name.

```liquid
{% render 'snippet_name' %}
```

## Variables

Inside a snippet, you can read the variables of the template, section or snippet where the `render` tag is. Variables that you create in the snippet with `assign` or `capture` are kept inside the snippet. They are not visible after the `render` tag. The value of a variable with the same name outside the snippet is not changed.

Pass every variable that you read in the snippet as a parameter. Then the snippet is rendered the same way from every template. For example, write `{% render 'card', product: product %}` instead of `{% render 'card' %}` inside a `for product in ...` loop.

Use [`include`](/themes/tags/include) when you must change variables outside the snippet.

# Render tag parameters

## `for`

You can render a snippet for every item in an array with the `for` parameter. Inside the snippet, the current item has the name of the snippet, or the name you give with `as`. The snippet can also read a `forloop` object for the loop.

```liquid
{% render 'snippet_name' for array as item %}
```

## Passing variables to a snippet

Variables that have been created outside of a snippet can be passed to a snippet as parameters on the render tag.

```liquid
{% render 'snippet_name', variable: value %}
```

## `with`

You can pass a single object to a snippet with the `with` parameter. Inside the snippet, the object has the name of the snippet, or the name you give with `as`.

```liquid
{% render 'snippet_name' with object as name %}
```
