If you need to grab the index from a foreach loop in Blade, there are 2 ways that I know of.
My favorite way is just using the $loop variable that Laravel makes available for us whenever using a foreach loop.
1. $loop Variable
The $loop provides a lot of useful information (such as figuring out which is the first or last loop).
But in this case, what we are interested in is $loop->index. This will tell you the current index.
An example would be
@foreach ($posts as $post)
{{$loop->index}} // Laravel makes this $loop variable available to us in the blade templates
@endforeach
2. key
The other way is accessing a $key variable like this
@foreach ($posts as $key => $post)
{{$key}}
@endforeach
Summary
Either method of using the $loop variable or assigning a $key will work. I prefer the $loop variable as it looks more elegant to me.
