Laravel - Blade Templates - The Loop Variable

When looping, a $loop variable will be available inside of your loop. This variable provides access to some useful bits of information such as the current loop index and whether this is the first or last iteration through the loop:

    
    @foreach ($users as $user)
        @if ($loop->first)
            This is the first iteration.
        @endif
    
        @if ($loop->last)
            This is the last iteration.
        @endif
    
        
This is user {{ $user->id }}
    @endforeach
	

If you are in a nested loop, you may access the parent loop's $loop variable via the parent property:

    
    @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
	

The $loop variable also contains a variety of other useful properties:
