Increment

v1.9.1

Creates a new number variable, and increases its value by one every time it is called. The first value is 0.

Input

1

3
{% increment my_counter %}
{% increment my_counter %}
{% increment my_counter %}

Output

1
2
3
0

Variables created through the increment tag are independent from variables created through assign or capture.

In the example below, a variable named “var” is created through assign. The increment tag is then used several times on a variable with the same name. Note that the increment tag does not affect the value of “var” that was created through assign.

Input

1
2
3
4
5
{% assign var = 10 %}
{% increment var %}
{% increment var %}
{% increment var %}
{{ var }}

Output

1
2
