What does the "current_page" variable do in Liquid?

The "current_page" variable in Liquid is essential for identifying the active page within a Shopify theme. This variable is utilized primarily for implementing conditional logic, allowing developers to create dynamic content based on the specific page that a user is currently viewing. For example, you might want to display a different banner on the homepage compared to a product page, and by using the "current_page" variable, you can easily check which type of page the customer is on and adjust the output accordingly.

This ability to check the page context is crucial for optimizing user experience and tailoring content effectively, making "current_page" an invaluable tool for theme developers when creating customized, responsive layouts for different parts of the Shopify store.
