Adding offset to {{@index}} when looping through items in Handlebars

Question

I\'m iterating over a list in Handlebars using the built-in each helper. Within the each block, I\'m referencing the current loop index

Register a math handlebar and perform all mathematical operations.

app.engine('handlebars', exphbs({
  helpers:{
    // Function to do basic mathematical operation in handlebar
    math: function(lvalue, operator, rvalue) {lvalue = parseFloat(lvalue);
        rvalue = parseFloat(rvalue);
        return {
            "+": lvalue + rvalue,
            "-": lvalue - rvalue,
            "*": lvalue * rvalue,
            "/": lvalue / rvalue,
            "%": lvalue % rvalue
        }[operator];
    }
}}));
app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');

Then you can directly perform operation in your view.

    {{#each myArray}}
        {{math @index "+" 1}}
    {{/each}}
