A specific value of a filter.

To learn about supporting filters in your theme, refer to [Support storefront filtering](https://shopify.dev/themes/navigation-search/filtering/storefront-filtering/support-storefront-filtering).

    Can only return `true` for filters of type `boolean` or `list`.

  * **count**

    [number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)

  * The number of results related to the filter value.

    Returns a value only for `boolean` and `list` type filters. Returns `nil` for `price_range` type filters.

  * The visual representation of the filter value when an image is used.

    Returns an [image](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/image) drop for the filter value. Requires the [filter presentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/filter#filter-presentation) to be `image` and for an image to be available. Otherwise, returns `nil`.

  * **label**

    [string](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#string)

  * The customer-facing label for the filter value. For example, `Red` or `Rouge`.

  * The URL parameter for the parent filter of the filter value.

    For example, `filter.v.option.color`.

    Filters of type `price_range` include an extra component depending on whether the filter value is for the filter's `min_value` or `max_value`. The following table outlines the URL parameter for each:

    | Value type | URL parameter |
    | - | - |
    | `min_value` | `filter.v.price.gte` |
    | `max_value` | `filter.v.price.lte` |

  * The visual representation of the filter value when a swatch is used.

    Returns a [swatch](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/swatch) drop for the filter value. Requires the [filter presentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/filter#filter-presentation) to be `swatch` and saved color or image content for the swatch. Otherwise, returns `nil`.

  * **url\_​to\_​add**
