Thymeleaf - How to loop a list by index

Question

How can I loop by index?

Foo.java

public Foo {
    private List tasks;
    ...
}

index.html

Answer 1

Thymeleaf always declares implicit iteration status variable if we omit it.

<span th:each="task : ${foo.tasks}">
    <span th:text="${taskStat.index} + ': ' + ${task.name}"></span>
</span>

Here, the status variable name is taskStat which is the aggregation of variable task and the suffix Stat.

Then in the loop, we can refer to taskStat.index, taskStat.size, taskStat.count, taskStat.even and taskStat.odd, taskStat.first and taskStat.last.

Answer 2

Thymeleaf th:each allows you to declare an iteration status variable

<span th:each="task,iter : ${foo.tasks}">

Then in the loop you can refer to iter.index and iter.size.
