Question

In Handlebars, say i have a collection of names how can i do

Answer 1

You can do this with the built-in Handlebars @index notation:

{{#each array}}
  {{@index}}: {{this}}
{{/each}}

@index will give the (zero-based) index of each item in the given array.

Please note for people using Handlebars with the Razor view engine you must use the notation @@index to avoid compilation errors.
