$index not available in Blade Collection / Taxonomy tag

[stuartcusackie]

Bug description

The documentation for both the collection tag and the taxonomy tag show a list of variables, including $index.

I cannot figure out how to access these variables in Blade. I've dump all_defined_vars but I don't see it there. Seems like a bug.

How to reproduce

Try to access $index in either the collection tag or the taxonomy tag, e.g.:

<statamic:collection from="blog">
    <li><a href="{{ $url }}">{{ $index }} {{ $title }}</a></li>
</statamic:collection>

<s:taxonomy from="categories">
  <li><a href="{{ $url }}">{{ $index }} {{ $title }}</a></li>
</s:taxonomy>

$index undefined!

WORKAROUND:

<s:taxonomy from="categories" as="categories">
  @foreach($categories as $index => $category)
    <li><a href="{{ $category->url }}">{{ $index }} {{ $category->title }}</a></li>
  @endforeach
</s:taxonomy>

I'm not sure if it'll work with our Blade Components, but can you try $loop->index? In traditional foreach loops, Blade exposes a $loop variable.

(Also, while it may not seem necessary, providing the full output of support:details can be very helpful. Please provide it on future issues.)

Yes, $loop->index is indeed available. Thanks.

It would be great if either $index could made available or the docs could be updated. The team has done a great job for Blade users but I still spend quite a lot of time trying to find workarounds like these. All of the old Statamic::tag('collection') examples have been removed so Blade users are kind of forced to use the new tags with insufficient documentation.

Noted on support:details. I'll add them all in future. 👍
