decrement

Creates a new variable, with a default value of -1, that's decreased by 1 with each subsequent call.

Caution

Predefined Liquid objects can be overridden by variables with the same name. To make sure that you can access all Liquid objects, make sure that your variable name doesn't match a predefined object's name.

Variables that are declared with decrement are unique to the layout, template, or section file that they're created in. However, the variable is shared across snippets included in the file.

Similarly, variables that are created with decrement are independent from those created with assign and capture. However, decrement and increment share variables.
