How to get index in Handlebars each helper?

In handlebar version 3.0 onwards,

{{#each users as |user userId|}}
  Id: {{userId}} Name: {{user.name}}
{{/each}}

In this particular example, user will have the same value as the current context and userId will have the index value for the iteration. Refer - http://handlebarsjs.com/block_helpers.html in block helpers section

In the newer versions of Handlebars index (or key in the case of object iteration) is provided by default with the standard each helper.

snippet from : https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/250#issuecomment-9514811

The index of the current array item has been available for some time now via @index:

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

For object iteration, use @key instead:

{{#each object}}
    {{@key}}: {{this}}
{{/each}} 

I know this is too late. But i solved this issue with following Code:

Java Script:

Handlebars.registerHelper('eachData', function(context, options) {
      var fn = options.fn, inverse = options.inverse, ctx;
      var ret = "";

      if(context && context.length > 0) {
        for(var i=0, j=context.length; i<j; i++) {
          ctx = Object.create(context[i]);
          ctx.index = i;
          ret = ret + fn(ctx);
        }
      } else {
        ret = inverse(this);
      }
      return ret;
}); 

HTML:

{{#eachData items}}
 {{index}} // You got here start with 0 index
{{/eachData}}

if you want start your index with 1 you should do following code:

Javascript:

Handlebars.registerHelper('eachData', function(context, options) {
      var fn = options.fn, inverse = options.inverse, ctx;
      var ret = "";

      if(context && context.length > 0) {
        for(var i=0, j=context.length; i<j; i++) {
          ctx = Object.create(context[i]);
          ctx.index = i;
          ret = ret + fn(ctx);
        }
      } else {
        ret = inverse(this);
      }
      return ret;
    }); 

Handlebars.registerHelper("math", function(lvalue, operator, rvalue, options) {
    lvalue = parseFloat(lvalue);
    rvalue = parseFloat(rvalue);

    return {
        "+": lvalue + rvalue
    }[operator];
});

HTML:

{{#eachData items}}
     {{math index "+" 1}} // You got here start with 1 index
 {{/eachData}}

Thanks.

This has changed in the newer versions of Ember.

For arrays:

{{#each array}}
    {{_view.contentIndex}}: {{this}}
{{/each}}

It looks like the #each block no longer works on objects. My suggestion is to roll your own helper function for it.

Thanks for this tip.
