Variables in Handlebars

Question

I'm passing models to a handlebars template and putting a few of the properties in a row. I want to have some sort of position variable for each row. Specifically, I want to know how many rows have been created and have a position associated with each row.

e.g.

{{#each row}}
<span class = (indexHere)>
  <tr>
     <td> <{{this.property}}>
  </tr>
</span>
{{/each}}

Answer 1

This is an old question and maybe at that time Handlebars did not include the @index property, but according to current (1.3.0) documentation:

When looping through items in each, you can optionally reference the current loop index via {{@index}}

Answer 2

You make your own helper :-)
