# 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](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/forloop) 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.

```liquid
{% for product in collection.products -%}
  {{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```

## 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](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/paginate#paginate-limit-data-fetching) for improved server-side performance.

***

```liquid
{% for product in collection.products limit: 2 -%}
  {{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```

## 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.

```liquid
{% for product in collection.products offset: 2 -%}
  {{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```

## 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.

***

```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.

```liquid
{% for product in collection.products reversed -%}
  {{ product.title }}
{%- endfor %}
```

## Output

```html
Invisibility potion
Health potion
Glacier ice
Draught of Immortality
```

# forloopobject

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.

    ![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/32/lightbulbscroll.png)![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/32/lightbulbscroll-dark.png)ExampleUse the `parentloop` property

    ```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.

```json
{
  "first": true,
  "index": 1,
  "index0": 0,
  "last": false,
  "length": 4,
  "rindex": 3
}
```

### Use the `forloop` object

```liquid
{% for page in pages -%}
  {%- if forloop.length > 0 -%}
    {{ page.title }}{% unless forloop.last %}, {% endunless -%}
  {%- endif -%}
{% endfor %}
```

## Output

```html
About us, Contact, Potion dosages
```
