Get index in a for...of directive in Angular 2

Question

As of now, is there a way to get the current index of the iterable in a for..of directive in Angular 2? In others words, the equivalent of $index in Angular.js v1...

Example of code:

<ul *for="#task of allTasks">     <li>{{ $index}} - {{ task.label }}</li> </ul> 

(of course this code does not work, it does not provide the current index)

Answer 1

<ul>     <template ngFor let-task [ngForOf]="allTasks" let-i="index">         <li>{{ i }} - {{ task.label }}</li>     </template> </ul> 

But you have to use the very most recent version of the quickstart

BTW - the above is the equivalent of the following syntax sugar

<li *ngFor="let task of allTasks; let i=index">{{ i }} - {{ task.label }}</li>
