Index of an array element in Mustache.js

Question

This is what I\'d like to do in Mustache.js but not seeing how with the documentation.

var view = {items:[\'Mercury\',\'Venus\',\'Earth\',\'Mars\']};
var tem

If you want to access the index multiple times per item, I would suggest something like the following.

var data = {
    items: [{
        name: Aliasghar
        , grade: 19
    }, {
        name: Afagh
        , grade: 20
    }]
    , setUpIndex: function() {
        ++window['INDEX']||(window['INDEX']=0);
        return;
    }
    , getIndex: function() {
        return window['INDEX'];
    }
    , resetIndex: function() {
        window['INDEX']=null;
        return;
    }
}

• Use the restIndex function before iterating each list in Mustache.
• Use the setUpIndex function at the start of each list item to set up the index for that item.
• Use the getIndex item to access the index.

As an example, consider this.

{{resetIndex}}
{{#items}}
    {{setUpIndex}}
    {{getIndex}}. {{name}} is at index {{getIndex}}
{{/items}}

Notice how you can access index more than once per item without getting the wrong value.
