Declare variable

[alithestar2000]

Hi Virk,

If this platform is wrong then I appologise in advance. Right now i am confused about how to declare a variable in edge.js. like say i want to declare a variable named "i" and then want to increment in a loop. how to do it?

Can you please share some code?

Here is a snippet from my code:

var i = 0;
@each(u in users_data)

{{i = i + 1}}
{{ u ? u.username: ''}}


<a class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" href='customer_friend_list?cid='+u.username> Friends


Remove

Why you aren't using the $loop.index variable?

@RomainLanz thank you so much. it's a gr8 answer. I have now what i wanted.

Now just a private question. I was using Jade previously but some hurdles forced me to find some other template engine. Since I am myself a php developer and know laravel and now I just get a chance to work with node. My question is whether edge.js is a complete templating solution. My project is at the start. can i carry this big project with edge.js?

Thanks in advance.

@alithestar2000 It depends on your definition of complete.

I believe by browsing the docs, you can get much of the idea on what all Edge supports and feel free to ask questions around it on the forum https://forum.adonisjs.com/

@thetutlage thank you. I feel now that you have strong belief in this so i can continue with this.
