how to get the index within a loop?

[dcsan]

within a loop, how do find out the index?
apparently its available as @index in handlebars, but that doesn't seem to work with meteor-jade.

handlebars-lang/handlebars.js#250 (comment)

I tried a few things:

each examples
  p {{this.index}}: {{this}}


  p {{@index}}   // fails  Expected IDENTIFIER

is there a way to fallback to using handlebars syntax with meteor-Jade templates?
eg

{{#each array}}
    {{@index}}: {{this}}
{{/each}}

jade itself has index but i couldn't get that syntax to work either:

each name, i in names
  li #{i+1}: #{name}

Also, keep in mind that Spacebars (meteor's default) != Handlebars, though the two are very similar. Spacebars might not support @index.

I don't think this has been implemented in spacebars yet. For now, you can use this solution.

I'm closing this, because it's a Blaze feature, not meteor-jade.
