How to use the asset pipeline in liquid

I want to use the asset pipeline icw Liquid, but how can I create the asset_path from within Liquid. I Know Shopify has asset_url so i created a custom Liquid::Filter

But when I create a Liquid::Filter to port the ActionView::Helpers::AssetUrlHelper.asset_path, it doesn't seem to find the asset. I'm probably in the wrong context?

So how does Shopify do that? :)

Shopify's asset_url tag doesn't give you the asset url of of their rails app assets, it gives you the asset url of the asset within your shop itself (or from the theme, which is within your shop). Take a look at https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/blob/master/performance/shopify/shop_filter.rb.

If you need to make the asset_url tag access assets from within your app itself then you can use something like ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path(filename) within your asset_url tag implementation.
