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

Answer 1

To expand on Mobiletainment's answer, this solution allows for the value to be incremented by to be passed in as an argument. If no value is passed, then a default value of 1 is used.

Handlebars.registerHelper('inc', function(number, options) {
    if(typeof(number) === 'undefined' || number === null)
        return null;

    // Increment by inc parameter if it exists or just by one
    return number + (options.hash.inc || 1);
});

Within your template you can then write:

{{inc @index inc=2}}
