how to fetch iterate number in blades foreach loop over collection

Question

is there any way to fetch iterate number in blades foreach loop over collection ? I'm going to use it for selected drop down input default value . (i don't want to use "form model binding")

i try thesis and they does not work, maybe cause thesis for getting index value in foreach loop over objects :

key($theArrayYouAreLoopingThrough)

{{ @index }}

@foreach ($athletes as $key=>$athlete)
   {{ ++$key }}
@endforeach

and so on.

If you're using 5.3 you can use $loop variable.

For example, to get current iteration, you can use inside @foreach or @for construction:

$loop->iteration
