Content objects
The following objects are used to output the content of template and section files, as well as the scripts and stylesheets loaded by Shopify and Shopify apps.

The content_for_header object is required in theme.liquid. It must be placed inside the HTML <head> tag. It dynamically loads all scripts required by Shopify into the document head. These scripts include Shopify analytics, Google Analytics, and scripts required for Shopify apps.

content_for_layout
