Loops

You can use loops to display a block of HTML code more than once. Loops are handy, if you need to display the same code several times, but different values should be used each time. Loops in Flamingo IDE are implemented by the FOREACH statement:

<!--{foreach ARRAY as ITEM }-->

 HTML CODE

<!--{/foreach}-->

Attribute Description

ARRAY set of nodes found by XPath or JavaScript array ITEM array item declaration you may refer to in the loop body

In FOREACH statements, you can also use construction like INDEX =>ITEM :

<!--{foreach ARRAY as INDEX => ITEM }-->

 HTML CODE

<!--{/foreach}-->
Attribute Description
ARRAY set of nodes found by XPath or JavaScript array
ITEM array item declaration you may refer to in the loop body

Note

You should bear in mind, that numbering in this construction starts from 0.

Note

foreach should be written in lowercase letters. Using uppercase letters (FOREACH) will result in error.

You can add condition code for easy editing automatically by clicking the FOREACH loop button on the Code Editor toolbar .
