Overview

“For” iterates over an array or collection. Several useful variables are available to you within the loop.

Basic usage:

{% for item in collection %}
  {{ forloop.index }}: {{ item.name }}
{% endfor %}

Advanced usage:

{% for item in collection %}
  <div {% if forloop.first %}class="first"{% endif %}>
    Item {{ forloop.index }}: {{ item.name }}
  </div>
{% else %}
  There is nothing in the collection.
{% endfor %}

You can also define a limit and offset much like SQL. Remember that offset starts at 0 for the first item.

  {% for item in collection limit:5 offset:10 %}
    {{ item.name }}
  {% end %}             

To reverse the for loop simply use {% for item in collection reversed %}

Available variables:

forloop.name

‘item-collection’

forloop.length

Length of the loop

forloop.index

The current item’s position in the collection; forloop.index starts at 1. This is helpful for non-programmers who start believe the first item in an array is 1, not 0.

forloop.index0

The current item’s position in the collection where the first item is 0

forloop.rindex

Number of items remaining in the loop (length - index) where 1 is the last item.

forloop.rindex0

Number of items remaining in the loop where 0 is the last item.

forloop.first

Returns true if the item is the first item.

forloop.last

Returns true if the item is the last item.
