# for
Renders an expression for every item in an array.
You can do a maximum of 50 iterations with a `for` loop. If you need to iterate over more than 50 items, then use the [`paginate` tag](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/paginate) to split the items over multiple pages.
***
**Tip:** Every \for\ loop has an associated \\forloop\ object\ with information about the loop.
***
## Syntax
```oobleckTag
{% for variable in array %}
expression
{% endfor %}
```
### variable
The current item in the array.
### array
The array to iterate over.
### expression
The expression to render for each iteration.
##### Code
```liquid
{% for product in collection.products -%}
{{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Data
```json
{
"collection": {
"products": [
{
"title": "Draught of Immortality"
},
{
"title": "Glacier ice"
},
{
"title": "Health potion"
},
{
"title": "Invisibility potion"
}
]
}
}
```
##### Output
```html
Draught of Immortality
Glacier ice
Health potion
Invisibility potion
```
## for tag parameters
### limit
## Syntax
```oobleckTag
{% for variable in array limit: number %}
expression
{% endfor %}
```
You can limit the number of iterations using the `limit` parameter.
***
**Tip:** Limit the amount of data fetched for arrays that can be paginated with the \paginate\ tag instead of using the \limit\ parameter. Learn more about \limiting data fetching\ for improved server-side performance.
***
##### Code
```liquid
{% for product in collection.products limit: 2 -%}
{{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Data
```json
{
"collection": {
"products": [
{
"title": "Draught of Immortality"
},
{
"title": "Glacier ice"
},
{
"title": "Health potion"
},
{
"title": "Invisibility potion"
}
]
}
}
```
##### Output
```html
Draught of Immortality
Glacier ice
```
### offset
## Syntax
```oobleckTag
{% for variable in array offset: number %}
expression
{% endfor %}
```
You can specify a 1-based index to start iterating at using the `offset` parameter.
##### Code
```liquid
{% for product in collection.products offset: 2 -%}
{{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Data
```json
{
"collection": {
"products": [
{
"title": "Draught of Immortality"
},
{
"title": "Glacier ice"
},
{
"title": "Health potion"
},
{
"title": "Invisibility potion"
}
]
}
}
```
##### Output
```html
Health potion
Invisibility potion
```
### range
## Syntax
```oobleckTag
{% for variable in (number..number) %}
expression
{% endfor %}
```
Instead of iterating over specific items in an array, you can specify a numeric range to iterate over.
***
**Note:** You can define the range using both literal and variable values.
***
##### Code
```liquid
{% for i in (1..3) -%}
{{ i }}
{%- endfor %}
{%- assign lower_limit = 2 -%}
{%- assign upper_limit = 4 -%}
{% for i in (lower_limit..upper_limit) -%}
{{ i }}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Output
```html
1
2
3
2
3
4
```
### reversed
## Syntax
```oobleckTag
{% for variable in array reversed %}
expression
{% endfor %}
```
You can iterate in reverse order using the `reversed` parameter.
##### Code
```liquid
{% for product in collection.products reversed -%}
{{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Data
```json
{
"collection": {
"products": [
{
"id": 6816899596353,
"title": "Draught of Immortality"
},
{
"id": 6792632795201,
"title": "Glacier ice"
},
{
"id": 6786188247105,
"title": "Health potion"
},
{
"id": 6786989391937,
"title": "Invisibility potion"
}
]
}
}
```
##### Output
```html
Invisibility potion
Health potion
Glacier ice
Draught of Immortality
```
# forloop**object**
Information about a parent [`for` loop](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/for).
## Properties
* * **first**
[boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#boolean)
* Returns `true` if the current iteration is the first. Returns `false` if not.
* **index**
[number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)
* The 1-based index of the current iteration.
* **index0**
[number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)
* The 0-based index of the current iteration.
* **last**
[boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#boolean)
* Returns `true` if the current iteration is the last. Returns `false` if not.
* **length**
[number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)
* The total number of iterations in the loop.
* **parentloop**
[forloop](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/forloop)
* The parent `forloop` object.
If the current `for` loop isn't nested inside another `for` loop, then `nil` is returned.
ExampleUse the `parentloop` property
##### Code
```liquid
{% for i in (1..3) -%}
{% for j in (1..3) -%}
{{ forloop.parentloop.index }} - {{ forloop.index }}
{%- endfor %}
{%- endfor %}
```
##### Output
```html
1 - 1
1 - 2
1 - 3
2 - 1
2 - 2
2 - 3
3 - 1
3 - 2
3 - 3
```
* **rindex**
[number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)
* The 1-based index of the current iteration, in reverse order.
* **rindex0**
[number](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#number)
* The 0-based index of the current iteration, in reverse order.
##### Example
```json
{
"first": true,
"index": 1,
"index0": 0,
"last": false,
"length": 4,
"rindex": 3
}
```
### Use the `forloop` object
##### Code
```liquid
{% for page in pages -%}
{%- if forloop.length > 0 -%}
{{ page.title }}{% unless forloop.last %}, {% endunless -%}
{%- endif -%}
{% endfor %}
```
