Loop Metadata #

Sugar exposes loop metadata via the $loop variable inside s:foreach and s:forelse directives. Use it to style first/last items, show counters, or branch on odd/even rows.

$loop is only available inside loop directives. It is not a global template variable.

Common Fields #

$loop->index - Zero-based index.
$loop->iteration - One-based index.
$loop->count - Total item count.
$loop->first - True on the first item.
$loop->last - True on the last item.
$loop->odd / $loop->even - Odd/even row flags.

Examples #

<ul s:foreach="$items as $item">
	<li s:class="['first' => $loop->first, 'last' => $loop->last]">
		<?= $loop->iteration ?>. <?= $item ?>
	</li>
</ul>

<table>
	<tr s:foreach="$rows as $row" s:class="['odd' => $loop->odd, 'even' => $loop->even]">
		<td><?= $row['label'] ?></td>
		<td><?= $row['value'] ?></td>
	</tr>
</table>

Need the loop from s:forelse?

$loop is available in the loop body just like s:foreach. The s:empty fallback does not have loop metadata.
