Getting the position (index) of an object in foreach?

Question

I have a simple foreach block in my view, like below.

@foreach ($teams as $key => $team) {{ str_ordinal($key + 1) }} @endforeach 

Right now I'm displaying the key, although it isn't exactly accurate. Here's an image:

How can I display the actual position of the current iteration? I order by my teams collection but I'm not sure how I get the position of the current interation in that loop?

Answer 1

You can use $loop->index to get the index. Check its docs. For instance:

@foreach ($teams as  $team) {{ $loop->index }} @endforeach 

Will display 0,1,2,3,4... until the last element position.

Answer 2

You can apply array_values to your data before passing to template:

array_values($teams); 

Or, according to this https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/blade#the-loop-variable, you can use special $loop variable. I suppose you need $loop->iteration property (it starts with 1) or $loop->index (starts with 0):

@foreach ($teams as $key => $team)     {{ $loop->iteration }} @endforeach
