For range loop or alternative about stencilswiftkit HOT 9 CLOSED

FYI I created a PR that implements this stencilproject/Stencil#179

from stencilswiftkit.

Note: we should update to Stencil 0.11 to get the new split filter and range support.

I don't think you're missing anything obvious, as the {% for %} tag are usually used to iterate over an existing array provided by the Stencil context already, and I don't think we have a tag to dynamically create an array or sequence from 0 to N from a template.

I'm surprised that "1,2,3,4"|split:',' doesn't work though

Might be a good idea for a new tag or a for i in 0...5 kind of variation

\cc @kylef @ilyapuchka thoughts?

I was actually thinking about implementing range literals over last days, but dropped this idea, I can imaging some complications in parsing this as variables also can use .. Maybe something like
for i in 1 to 3 can be an alternative?

Regarding split filter, I can't see it neither in Stencil, nor here, but definitely can be a quick fix for this case.

@royalstream And of course you can just have range passed in as variable in context, Stencil supports iterating open and closed ranges.

Wow indeed I'm quite surprised we don't have this one, for some reason I was pretty sure we had it already… (I probably thought that because we do have its counterpart join 😉)
Would definitely be a nice addition in any case 👍

Using "1,2,3"|split(',') would be an inferior alternative anyway because you wouldn't be able to do things like this:

{% for i in 1 to 10 %}
  {% for j in 1 to i %}
....
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

I've also submitted PR to Stencil with split filter stencilproject/Stencil#187
