Below is a snippet from a project of mine. The first column of the table is for S/N. starting at 1.
Note the variable $loop
@foreach($payments as $payment)
<tr>
<td>{{$loop->index+1}}</td>
<td>{{$payment->reference}}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
It is called the Loop variable.
During the execution of a foreach loop, you will have access to a $loop variable within the loop itself.
You can check if the current iteration is the first using
$loop->first
@foreach($payments as $payment)
@if($loop->first)
This is the first iteration.
@endif($loop->first)
@endforeach
In a case of nested loop, you have access to the parent loop using
$loop->parent
@foreach ($users as $user)
@foreach ($user->posts as $post)
@if ($loop->parent->first)
This is the first iteration of the parent loop.
@endif
@endforeach
@endforeach
Other useful variables available on the $loop variables are
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| $loop->index | The index of the current loop iteration (starts at 0). |
| $loop->iteration | The current loop iteration (starts at 1). |
| $loop->remaining | The iterations remaining in the loop. |
| $loop->count | The total number of items in the array being iterated. |
| $loop->first | Whether this is the first iteration through the loop. |
| $loop->last | Whether this is the last iteration through the loop. |
| $loop->even | Whether this is an even iteration through the loop. |
| $loop->odd | Whether this is an odd iteration through the loop. |
| $loop->depth | The nesting level of the current loop. |
| $loop->parent | When in a nested loop, the parent's loop variable. |
