ngFor with index as value in attribute

I have a simple ngFor loop which also keeps track of the current index. I want to store that index value in an attribute so I can print it. But I can't figure out how this works.

I basically have this:

<ul *ngFor="#item of items; #i = index" data-index="#i">
    <li>{{item}}</li>
</ul>

I want to store the value of #i in the attribute data-index. I tried several methods but none of them worked.

I have a demo here: http://plnkr.co/edit/EXpOKAEIFlI9QwuRcZqp?p=preview

How can I store the index value in the data-index attribute?

I would use this syntax to set the index value into an attribute of the HTML element:

Angular >= 2

You have to use let to declare the value rather than #.

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">
        {{item}}
    </li>
</ul>

Angular = 1

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="#item of items; #i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">
        {{item}}
    </li>
</ul>

Here is the updated plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/LiCeyKGUapS5JKkRWnUJ?p=preview.

In Angular 5/6/7/8:

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of items; index as i">
    {{i+1}} {{item}}
  </li>
</ul>

In older versions

<ul *ngFor="let item of items; index as i">
  <li>{{i+1}} {{item}}</li>
</ul>

Just an update to this, Thierry's answer is still correct, but there has been an update to Angular2 with regards to:

<ul *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">
  <li>{{item}}</li>
</ul>

The #i = index should now be let i = index

EDIT/UPDATE:

The *ngFor should be on the element you're wanting to foreach, so for this example it should be:

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

EDIT/UPDATE

Angular 5

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of items; index as i" [attr.data-index]="i">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

EDIIT/UPDATE

Angular 7/8

<ul *ngFor="let item of items; index as i">
  <li [attr.data-index]="i">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

I think its already been answered before, but just a correction if you are populating an unordered list, the *ngFor will come in the element which you want to repeat. So it should be insdide <li>. Also, Angular2 now uses let to declare a variable.

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">     
               {{item}}
    </li>
</ul>

The other answers are correct but you can omit the [attr.data-index] altogether and just use

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index">{{i + 1}}</li>
</ul

Try this

<div *ngFor="let piece of allPieces; let i=index">
{{i}} // this will give index
</div>
