How to represent @index variable in the handlebars each loop.

[shishirmk]

I am planning to use the "@index" used in the first answer to the question in this page http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11884960/how-to-get-index-in-handlebars-each-helper

I get the unexpected token error. So how do i represent that?

[jimsynz]

have you tried =hb '@index' ?

Yes i have tried it. I got an error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token , Some people have reported this error in the stackoverflow answer comments.

This is a problem with handlebars.js not hamlbars:

Using the following hamlbars:

= hb 'each widget' do
  =hb '@index'

generates:

{{#each widget}}{{@index}}{{/each}}

I suggest you raise an issue on barber or handlebars.

Cheers.
