Is there a way to get index in for loop?

[mikesmobile]

Hello love your pluggin,

I have {FOR issue IN $component.issues} and would love to also be able to use the index in this. have tried

{FOR issue, index IN $component.issues}
and
{FOR (issue, index) IN $component.issues} {var count=1}

Any help would be much appreciated. basically looking to add page break only at the end of this for loop.

You can use

+++EXEC
let i = 0;
+++

+++FOR issue IN $component.issues+++
  // normal Word
 
  +++=i+++
 
  +++EXEC i=i+1 +++
+++END FOR $component+++

as a workaround

Thanks @mathe42 for your idea!

At the moment the approach mentioned by @mathe42 is best. I will log this as a potential feature for later, but ATM I'm reluctant to implement it because it requires really deep changes.

Just a heads up that $idx was actually available all along within loops (see #65 and formalised and documented in #323.) but it does only refer to the inner-most index so it's not exactly the same thing when it comes to having arbitrary indicies in nested loops.

As for the conditional page break use case though just having the inner-most index is probably sufficient; I solved this like so #283 (comment).
