Is there a "break" tag to escape a loop in Liquid?

Question

How do I break out of loop in Liquid, mainly a for-loop? I've tried {% break %}, but that fails with There were errors saving your file: Unknown tag 'break'.

I'm trying to achieve something like:

var variants = [];
{% for item in cart.items %}
    {% if item.product.handle == "handle-name" %}
    variants = {{item.product.variants | json}};
    {% break %} // won't work
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

For future visitors. Above code does work in current Liquid (gem v2.5.1).

So, you can simply do:

{% for item in cart.items %}
    {% if item.product.handle == "handle-name" %}
    variants = {{item.product.variants | json}};
       {% break %} // This will work
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Joost is right. Simply update your liquid gem. Check out this page https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/issues/119 – Hossain Mohd Faysal Jan 14 '14 at 11:15
Odd, I somehow missed this answer. Thanks for the comment Hossain, I cannot test it but the answer seems correct so I am accepting it. – Lekensteyn Jan 14 '14 at 19:16
It works, but its still not part of the shopify docs - https://docs.shopify.com/themes/liquid-documentation/tags/iteration-tags – JoshHighland Jun 29 '15 at 07:17

Docs have been updated to include `{% break %}` and `{% continue %}` – Carson Oct 19 '15 at 13:34
